Risk & Legal
Team Up Athletics presents CAUTION-to-HIGH RISK due to undisclosed financials, going concern issues, small system size with aggressive growth claims, and potentially unsustainable royalty minimums for new franchisees.
Score breakdown · what drove the 54 / 100 rating
- 01MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure (Item 19) — impossible to assess ROI on $51.5K-$129.5K investment
- 02HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — indicates potential financial instability or structural concerns at franchisor level
- 03MINORRoyalty structure includes $500/month minimum ($6K annually) starting month 7 — high fixed cost burden on new locations
- 04MINOR25 total units with 78.6% YoY growth is mathematically weak — suggests only ~14 units existed prior year; system lacks scale and stability
- 05MINOR5-year term is shorter than industry standard (10 years typical) — may indicate franchisor uncertainty or high turnover risk
- 06MINORHigh initial investment range ($51.5K-$129.5K) combined with no profitability data creates severe visibility gap
