Risk & Legal

57
Risk · 0-100
MODERATE57 / 100

SuperGlass presents a CAUTION-level risk profile with regulatory compliance failures, declining unit economics, and opaque financial disclosure that obscure true franchisee profitability and franchisor stability.

Score breakdown · what drove the 57 / 100 rating

  1. 01MINORDeclining unit count (-3.2% YoY) suggests system contraction and potential franchisee dissatisfaction
  2. 02MINORMultiple consent orders and settlements across 7 states for franchise registration violations and disclosure failures indicate material compliance issues and legal exposure
  3. 03MEDNo Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — unable to validate franchise profitability claims or ROI assumptions
  4. 04MEDRelatively low initial investment ($37.6K-$112.5K) paired with undisclosed revenue/income creates difficulty assessing risk-adjusted returns
  5. 05HIGHLitigation history involving regulatory agencies raises questions about franchisor's operational integrity and franchisee protection
