What could kill this investment?
The auditor flagged going-concern doubt (Item 21) — the single biggest risk here.

Risk analysis
FranchiseVerdict rating + FDD Items 3, 4, 8, 16, 21
Risk & Legal
The auditor raised a going-concern note (going_concern_note=true) and financial_distress=true, with negative franchisor net worth of -$119,015. This is not an early-stage startup (franchising since 2017, 20 units), so the going-concern doubt carries real weight. However, positive net income of $156,885 on $750,898 revenue and 20% net growth partly offset the concern.
