Risk & Legal
Early-stage yoga-based franchise with minimal unit count, undisclosed financial substantiation, and high capital requirements relative to system maturity creates elevated risk despite no litigation or going concern issues.
Score breakdown · what drove the 55 / 100 rating
- 01MINOROnly 4 existing units with unknown growth trajectory suggests nascent/stalled system expansion
- 02MEDNo Item 19 financial performance representations disclosed — cannot validate $380,931 average revenue claim independently
- 03MINORHigh initial investment ($291,525–$454,900) relative to unit count creates survivorship bias risk in reported financials
- 04MINORRoyalty-free introductory period (0-3 months) may mask true unit economics during critical ramp-up phase
- 05MINOR10-year term with protected territory locks franchisee in without clear exit strategy or renewal clarity
