ROIC above 100% usually means the revenue figure is a system-wide aggregate or top-cohort number rather than a single-unit average. Verify the "Revenue · per unit" field against the brand's FDD Item 19 detail tables before relying on this output.

Overview

About

WCH Center franchisees appear to operate wellness or community health centers, though specific service offerings are unclear. Day-to-day operations likely involve client/member management, service delivery (health, fitness, or counseling-related), facility management, and staff oversight. Without disclosed business model details, the actual value proposition and operational complexity remain undefined.

Risk & Legal

72
Risk · 0-100
CAUTION72 / 100

WCH Center presents HIGH RISK due to minimal system scale (2 units), total lack of financial transparency, unprotected territory, and a cost structure that prioritizes franchisor revenue over franchisee profitability.

Score breakdown · what drove the 72 / 100 rating

  1. 01MEDOnly 2 existing units indicates extremely limited proof of concept and scalability
  2. 02MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure prevents ROI validation and suggests poor performance or franchisor opacity
  3. 03MINORHigh franchise fee ($45,000) relative to total investment ($74,600-$95,300) creates front-loaded cost structure with unclear payback period
  4. 04MINORNo protected territory exposes franchisees to direct competition from franchisor or other franchisees
  5. 05MEDUnknown franchise term length suggests incomplete disclosure or unfavorable conditions
  6. 06MEDRoyalty floor of 7% on undisclosed revenue creates unpredictable cash flow burden
  7. 07MINORTwo-unit system provides no statistical basis for financial projections or franchisee success rates
