What drove the 56/100 rating
Risk Score Breakdown
- 01MINOROnly 3 units operating with unknown/stagnant growth trajectory suggests minimal system traction after franchise launch
- 02HIGHGoing Concern = False indicates potential financial viability issues at corporate level, raising sustainability questions
- 03MEDNet Income not disclosed in FDD Item 19 prevents ROI validation; combined with only $350K avg revenue, profitability is opaque
- 04MINORHigh investment range ($256K-$458K) relative to average revenue ($350K) creates tight margin for error and long payback periods
- 05MEDExtremely small franchise system (3 units) offers minimal operational support infrastructure and limited peer learning network
- 06MINOR6% royalty on modest revenue base ($21K annual royalty on $350K sales) while carrying substantial debt load is concerning
