Risk & Legal
Critical lack of financial transparency combined with micro-unit count and questionable franchisor viability creates substantial investment risk.
Score breakdown · what drove the 65 / 100 rating
- 01MINOROnly 5 units in system with unknown growth trajectory — extremely small and potentially stagnant franchise
- 02MEDNo Item 19 financial performance disclosure (Avg Revenue and Net Income not disclosed) — impossible to validate ROI on $84.7K-$267.5K investment
- 03HIGHGoing Concern status is False — suggests franchisor may have viability issues or undisclosed financial stress
- 04MINORWide investment range ($84.75K-$267.5K spread) without corresponding revenue/profit data creates opacity around unit economics
- 05MED6% royalty on undisclosed revenue base means true cost structure cannot be evaluated
- 06MINORMinimal public track record with only 5 units limits ability to assess franchisee success rates or failure rates
