Bottom line
- Total investment $399K – $735K including a $50K franchise fee, 7.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 66/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 10 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.

Overview
About
VOLOFIT appears to be a fitness franchise concept (likely boutique fitness studio based on naming convention). Franchisees would operate a gym/fitness facility, managing memberships, fitness classes, personal training services, and facility operations. Daily responsibilities likely include staff management, class scheduling, member retention, equipment maintenance, and revenue generation through dues and ancillary services.

Risk & Legal
Pre-revenue or distressed franchisor with only 2 units, zero financial transparency, going concern issues, and unprotected territories—extreme risk for $400K+ investment.
Score breakdown · what drove the 66 / 100 rating
- 01MINOROnly 2 franchised units in entire system with no corporate locations mentioned—indicates either pre-revenue or severely underperforming brand
- 02MINORNo average unit volume (AUV) or net income disclosure—inability or unwillingness to provide financial performance data is critical warning sign
- 03HIGHGoing Concern noted as False—suggests potential financial distress or viability questions with franchisor
- 04MINORUnprotected territory creates direct competition risk; franchisees could cannibalize each other's revenue in same market
- 05MINORHigh initial investment ($398.5K–$734.7K) combined with opaque financials creates severe ROI uncertainty
- 06MINOR100% unit growth (1→2 units) is statistically meaningless and masks stagnation; system is not scaling
- 07MED7% royalty on undisclosed revenue means franchisees cannot model cash flow or break-even scenarios
