Bottom line
- Total investment $178K – $912K including a $60K franchise fee, 8.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated CAUTION with a risk score of 72/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 2 loans (below the industry average).
- No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Overview
About
Subcontain franchisees appear to operate in containerized solutions/modular services (exact service offering unclear from available data). Day-to-day operations likely involve sales, customer service, logistics coordination, and service delivery—but the complete business model remains undefined due to lack of operational franchises for validation.

Risk & Legal
