Bottom line
- Total investment $467K – $594K including a $45K 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 69/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 12 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
Taco Pros presents HIGH RISK: a micro-franchise (6 units) with going concern status, zero financial transparency, and no demonstrated unit economics or system growth.
Score breakdown · what drove the 69 / 100 rating

- 02MINOROnly 6 units systemwide suggests minimal scale, network effects, or market validation
- 03MEDNo Item 19 financial performance disclosure (Avg Revenue and Net Income not disclosed) prevents ROI analysis
- 04MEDHigh initial investment ($466.5K-$593.6K) with no disclosed profitability benchmarks creates unknown payback period
- 05MINORMinimal unit growth trajectory unknown; 6-unit system shows no proven expansion momentum
- 06MED6% royalty on undisclosed sales makes true cost structure impossible to evaluate
