Risk & Legal
Extremely small, undisclosed-growth system with going concern issues and unverified financial claims presents elevated risk despite no litigation history.
Score breakdown · what drove the 63 / 100 rating
- 01HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — suggests potential financial distress or unresolved viability questions at corporate level
- 02MEDOnly 5 units with unknown growth trajectory — extremely small system with no disclosed expansion data or unit growth rate
- 03MEDNo Item 19 (Financial Performance Representations) disclosed — cannot verify if $113,949 net income claim is achievable or typical
- 04MINORHigh royalty burden (8%) plus $60,000 franchise fee on modest $251,002 average revenue creates tight margin, especially if expenses vary
- 05MED5-year term with protected territory may lock franchisee into underperforming location with limited exit flexibility
