Bottom line
- Total investment $152K – $615K including a $150K franchise fee.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 57/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 90 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
THE DRIPBaR presents elevated risk due to minimal growth, financial non-disclosure, high capital requirements with opaque royalties, and a pattern of litigation involving franchisee disputes and alleged disclosure failures.
Score breakdown · what drove the 57 / 100 rating
- 01MINORStagnant unit growth (3.0% YoY) indicates weak franchise recruitment and retention in a 34-unit system
- 02MEDNo disclosed average revenue or net income (missing Item 19) prevents validation of financial viability claims
- 03MINORHigh initial investment ($151,600–$615,375) with unknown royalty structure creates opacity around total cost of ownership
- 04HIGHMultiple litigation cases including pending trade secrets dispute, misappropriation settlement with former franchisees, and disclosure omission arbitration suggest governance and transparency issues
- 05MEDSettled arbitration alleging disclosure omissions indicates potential FTC compliance or Item 19 data withholding problems
- 06HIGHGoing Concern status = False, though context unclear—may indicate auditor concerns about franchise system sustainability
