Bottom line

  • Total investment $364K – $604K including a $45K franchise fee, 7.0% ongoing royalty.
  • No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
  • Rated CAUTION with a risk score of 75/100.
  • No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Risk & Legal

75
Risk · 0-100
CAUTION75 / 100

Pre-revenue or failing franchisor with single unit, no financial transparency, going concern issues, and unproven business model presents extreme risk for $363k-$604k investment.

Score breakdown · what drove the 75 / 100 rating

  1. 01HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — indicates franchisor financial distress or operational instability
  2. 02MINOROnly 1 unit in system with unknown growth trajectory — no track record of replicable success or scalability
  3. 03MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure — inability to assess realistic ROI on $363k-$604k investment
  4. 04MED7% royalty on undisclosed revenue base — franchisee cannot model profitability or break-even scenarios
  5. 05MINORHigh initial investment ($363k-$604k) combined with $45k franchise fee with zero performance data to justify costs
  6. 06MINOR10-year term locks franchisee into relationship with single-unit, non-growing system
  7. 07HIGHNo litigation disclosure provided — unable to verify absence of disputes or franchisor credibility issues
