Bottom line

  • Total investment $122K – $226K including a $25K franchise fee, 6.0% ongoing royalty.
  • No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
  • Rated CAUTION with a risk score of 75/100.
  • No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Risk & Legal

75
Risk · 0-100
CAUTION75 / 100

Stayfull presents HIGH RISK due to minimal franchise system scale (2 units), undisclosed financials preventing ROI validation, false going concern status, and royalty structure vulnerability.

Score breakdown · what drove the 75 / 100 rating

  1. 01MINOROnly 2 franchised units with unknown/likely stagnant growth trajectory raises severe scalability concerns
  2. 02HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — indicates potential financial distress or structural viability issues at corporate level
  3. 03MEDNo Item 19 financial performance disclosures (Avg Revenue and Net Income not disclosed) prevents ROI validation and suggests poor unit economics
  4. 04MINORRoyalty structure based on Gross Profit (not Gross Revenue) is unusual and creates accounting ambiguity and potential disputes
  5. 05MEDHigh initial investment ($122k-$226k) with only 2 operating units and no disclosed profitability creates severe risk-return mismatch
