Risk & Legal

49
Risk · 0-100
STRONG49 / 100

Caution-level risk due to missing financial disclosures (no Item 19), recent litigation history, and high capital requirements without demonstrated unit profitability in a niche market.

Score breakdown · what drove the 49 / 100 rating

  1. 01MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure (Item 19) prevents realistic ROI assessment and is a major transparency gap
  2. 02HIGHTwo litigation matters within 6 years (2017 breach of contract + 2018 asset purchase dispute with prevailing party judgment against franchisor) suggest operational/legal compliance issues
  3. 03MEDHigh initial investment ($162,900–$337,291) combined with undisclosed profitability creates significant risk without performance benchmarks
  4. 04MINORSpecialized niche market (autism/special needs) limits customer base scalability and creates demographic dependency
  5. 05MED5% royalty on undisclosed gross revenue model prevents transparency on actual franchisee net margins
