Bottom line

  • Total investment $126K – $181K including a $50K franchise fee.
  • No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
  • Rated CAUTION with a risk score of 71/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 1 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.

Risk & Legal

71
Risk · 0-100
CAUTION71 / 100

Rapidly contracting franchise system (down 31% YoY) with no financial transparency, high royalty burden, and unproven unit economics — classic indicators of a struggling franchise model.

Score breakdown · what drove the 71 / 100 rating

  1. 01MINORUnit count collapsed 30.8% year-over-year (13 units remaining) indicating severe system deterioration and franchisee failure rate
  2. 02MEDNo Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — impossible to validate if investment can generate positive ROI
  3. 03MINORRoyalty structure heavily favors franchisor (5% minimum on residential, tiered commercial) with $400-$800 monthly minimums creating cash flow pressure on low-revenue locations
  4. 04MINORDeclining unit count suggests franchisees are exiting rather than renewing or expanding, indicating poor unit economics
  5. 05MEDHigh initial investment ($125,850-$181,150) paired with undisclosed profitability creates extreme uncertainty on payback period
