Risk & Legal

65
Risk · 0-100
MODERATE65 / 100

Stadium On Wheels presents high risk due to minimal system scale (2 units), unverified financial claims, franchisor going concern issues, and escalating royalty burden — classic early-stage franchise with unproven unit economics.

Score breakdown · what drove the 65 / 100 rating

  1. 01MINORExtremely low unit count (2 units) suggests early-stage, unproven system with minimal validation
  2. 02MINORNo Item 19 financial performance representations provided — revenue/income figures cannot be verified or attributed to actual franchisees
  3. 03HIGHGoing Concern status is False — indicates potential financial instability or unclear viability of franchisor operations
  4. 04MINORRoyalty structure escalates 57% by Year 10 ($583 to $917/month) — may strain profitability in mature years
  5. 05MINORHigh franchise fee ($49,500) relative to only 2 operating units raises questions about system viability and franchisee acquisition strategy
  6. 06MINORProtected territory is positive but insufficient to offset systemic maturity concerns
