Bottom line

  • Total investment $115K – $170K including a $100K franchise fee.
  • No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
  • Rated AVOID with a risk score of 85/100. 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

Success Space franchisees appear to operate coaching, training, or consulting businesses (likely workspace/productivity-focused based on brand name), though specific daily operations are undefined. Without disclosed revenue, unit count, or business model details, the actual service offering and operational requirements remain unclear to prospective franchisees.

Risk & Legal

85
Risk · 0-100
AVOID85 / 100

Success Space presents extreme risk: zero operating units, going concern status, opaque financials, and no territory protection—indicating an unproven, financially unstable franchisor.

Score breakdown · what drove the 85 / 100 rating

  1. 01MINORZero operating units despite franchise model — suggests no market validation or system failure
  2. 02HIGHGoing concern status indicates financial instability at franchisor level
  3. 03MEDNo disclosed royalty rate, average revenue, or net income — opacity on profitability
  4. 04MINORHigh franchise fee ($100,000) with no Item 19 financial performance data to justify ROI
  5. 05MINORUnprotected territory creates direct competition risk between franchisees
  6. 06MINORUnknown unit growth trajectory prevents assessment of system viability
  7. 07MED10-year term locks franchisee into potentially failing system with limited exit
  8. 08MINORHigh total investment requirement ($114.5K–$169.7K) with zero proof of returns
