What drove the 65/100 rating

Risk Score Breakdown

  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
