Companies

Alleviant Health Centers, LLC is a nascent franchise with only 2 total outlets, both opened in the last year, indicating a very early-stage concept with no closure history. ✓ The absence of litigation and bankruptcy provides a clean legal slate, but the business model carries significant financial risk. ⚠ The franchise fee is steep at $100,000, and the 20% royalty is exceptionally high, creating a heavy ongoing cost burden that is particularly concerning given the lack of an Item 19 financial disclosure. ⚠ With a total investment range of $253,000 to $842,500, prospective franchisees are committing substantial capital to an unproven system with no validated financial performance data.

Food Street is a micro-scale franchise with only 2 total outlets, both opened in the last year with zero closures, indicating a nascent but clean launch phase. ✓ The franchise offers a strong financial disclosure with an average unit volume (AUV) of $1,319,727, which is impressive for the total investment range of $260,000 to $510,000. ⚠ However, the extremely limited operating history and small sample size make this AUV statistically unreliable, and the $35,000 franchise fee plus 5% royalty should be weighed against the high risk of an unproven system. No litigation or bankruptcy history is a positive, but the lack of scale means there is no track record of long-term unit performance or support infrastructure.

Scoop Brothers is a micro-scale franchise with only 2 total outlets, having added 1 net new location last year with zero closures, indicating a nascent but stable proof of concept. ✓ The absence of litigation or bankruptcy history provides a clean operational record, while the inclusion of Item 19 offers some financial transparency for prospective buyers. ⚠ However, the $50,000 franchise fee and 7.5% royalty are relatively high for a brand with such limited scale, and the total investment range of $115,560 to $182,335 represents a significant capital commitment for a concept that has not yet demonstrated multi-unit viability or brand traction.

Point 5 Franchise, LLC operates a very small system of just 2 total outlets, though it demonstrated positive growth by opening 1 new location last year with no closures. ✓ The franchise offers a relatively low total investment range of $67,350 to $133,750 and a modest 3% royalty, with a disclosed average unit volume of $403,898 suggesting reasonable unit economics. ⚠ However, the extreme lack of scale (only 2 units) presents significant risk, as the brand has virtually no proven multi-unit track record or operational history to validate its model. ✓ Positively, there is no litigation or bankruptcy history, which removes some common red flags for such a nascent franchise.

Linden Creek is a nascent franchise with only 2 total outlets, having added 1 in the past year with no closures, indicating a controlled but very early-stage growth trajectory. The total investment range of $227,225 to $637,075 is moderate, though the $60,000 franchise fee and 7.0% royalty are on the higher side for such a small system. ✓ The presence of Item 19 financial disclosure provides transparency, and the absence of litigation or bankruptcy is a positive sign. ⚠ However, the extremely limited scale offers no proven multi-unit success or brand recognition, making this a high-risk, unproven opportunity for prospective franchisees.

CHA STREET FOOD is a nascent concept with only 2 total outlets, though it shows early promise with 1 net unit added and zero closures in the past year. The franchise fee is $35,000, and total investment ranges from $312,900 to $638,000, which is moderate for a food concept. ✓ The Item 19 disclosure reveals a strong average unit volume of $1,764,322, suggesting high revenue potential per location. ⚠ However, the extremely small sample size makes this financial data statistically unreliable, and the 6% royalty is standard but adds pressure given the high investment threshold.

Elixir Franchise LLC operates a nascent network of just 2 total outlets, having added 1 unit last year with no closures, indicating a controlled but extremely limited scale. ✓ The franchise provides Item 19 financial performance, disclosing an impressive average unit volume (AUV) of $1,390,022, which is a strong positive for potential franchisees. ⚠ However, the total investment range of $269,650 to $567,500, coupled with a $35,000 franchise fee and a 6% royalty, represents a significant capital commitment for a brand with virtually no operational track record. ✓ The absence of litigation or bankruptcy history is favorable, but the tiny base of 2 outlets offers minimal data to validate the disclosed AUV or long-term viability.

Happy Joe's operates a tiny 2-unit system, with a high franchise fee of $240,000 and a total investment ranging from $252,750 to $846,250. ✓ The brand shows positive momentum, opening 1 new outlet last year with no closures, and reports a strong average unit volume of $969,040. ⚠ However, the extreme lack of scale and a prior bankruptcy filing are significant red flags that demand caution. This is a high-cost, unproven concept with a single data point of growth, making it a speculative investment.

Casale Franchising LLC operates a very small system of just 2 total outlets with no growth or closures in the past year, indicating a stagnant or nascent brand. ✓ The absence of litigation and bankruptcy filings suggests a clean legal and financial history, while the Item 19 disclosure provides some transparency on potential performance. ⚠ However, the total investment range of $173,850 to $342,915 is significant for a brand with no recent expansion, and the $45,000 franchise fee plus 6% royalty may be hard to justify without proven unit economics or a growth trajectory. This franchise presents a high-risk opportunity for investors seeking a proven, scalable system.

Ageless Fitness Corp. operates a single outlet with a relatively low total investment range of $64,150 to $118,200 and a 5.5% royalty. ⚠ The absence of an Item 19 financial disclosure prevents any assessment of unit-level performance, and the presence of litigation is a significant red flag. ✓ The brand has no history of closures or bankruptcy, but with zero outlets opened in the last year, it shows no current growth trajectory. This is a high-risk, unproven concept with minimal scale and no financial transparency.

Barney Brown Franchise LLC is a nascent operation with only a single outlet, presenting a high-risk profile due to a complete lack of proven unit growth or any recent openings. ✓ The franchise does report a strong average unit volume of $472,031, which is a positive indicator of potential profitability, though this data comes from a single location. ⚠ The total investment range is broad ($80,250 - $383,700), and the absence of any outlet growth or closures over the past year suggests the concept is still in a validation phase with no track record of expansion.

SATELLITE TEAMS is a nascent franchise with only one total outlet and zero net growth in the past year, indicating no proven expansion model. The franchise fee is steep at $69,999, and the 10% royalty is high for a concept with no operational track record. Total investment ranges from $92,499 to $114,999, which is moderate, but the lack of any new openings or closures suggests stagnation rather than stability. ✓ No litigation or bankruptcy history provides a clean slate, but ⚠ the absence of growth and a single-unit base present significant risk for prospective franchisees.

ColorOnly Express Salons Franchise Company, LLC is an extremely nascent operation with only a single outlet and zero net growth over the past year, indicating no proven expansion model. The total investment range of $286,172 to $483,072 is substantial for a concept with no Item 19 financial disclosure, leaving prospective franchisees without any validated revenue or profit data. ⚠ The absence of financial performance representations is a significant risk, as there is no evidence of unit-level economics or profitability. ✓ On a positive note, the franchise has no litigation or bankruptcy history, though this is likely due to its minimal operational scale rather than a strong track record.

Property Sellwise is a nascent franchise with only a single outlet, offering no proven track record of replication or system refinement. ✓ The absence of litigation and bankruptcy is a clean slate, but the franchise fee of $49,500 and 8% royalty are high for a concept with zero growth history. ⚠ The wide total investment range of $105,950 to $638,840 suggests significant variability in build-out costs, creating financial uncertainty for prospective franchisees. With just one outlet opened and none closed last year, the brand is essentially a pilot program, making the investment a high-risk bet on an unproven model.

PCJV USA LLC DBA Potato Corner operates a single outlet with a high total investment range of $400,000 to $815,000, which is significant for a brand with no proven U.S. scalability. ✓ The franchise has shown zero closures and opened one outlet last year, indicating stable operations at a micro scale. ⚠ However, the absence of Item 19 financial disclosure and the presence of litigation are notable red flags, limiting transparency and raising concerns about franchisee profitability and legal risk. This is a high-cost, unproven opportunity with minimal growth trajectory and significant disclosure gaps.

Oakwell Franchising, LLC operates on a very small scale with only one total outlet and no recent openings or closures, indicating a nascent or stalled concept. The franchise requires a substantial total investment ranging from $1.3M to $2.5M, which is high for a brand with no proven unit growth. ✓ The absence of litigation and bankruptcy is a positive, and the presence of Item 19 financial data offers some transparency. ⚠ However, the high entry cost combined with zero unit expansion over the past year presents a significant risk for prospective franchisees.

Empire Bookkeeping Franchise, LLC presents a high-risk profile given its single-unit network and the franchisor's prior bankruptcy, a significant red flag. ✓ The initial investment is low at $50.6k-$67.6k, and the Item 19 disclosure of a $302,559 average unit volume suggests strong potential revenue for a service-based franchise. ⚠ However, with zero net unit growth in the last year and a $40,000 franchise fee that represents a large portion of the total investment, the concept remains unproven and carries substantial execution risk.

Breakfast Club Franchising, Inc. operates a single unit with a very high average unit volume of $3.25 million, suggesting a strong per-store revenue model. ✓ The total investment range of $611,750 to $945,500 is substantial, and the $40,000 franchise fee with a 5% royalty is standard for the segment. ⚠ However, the franchise has zero growth momentum, with no new outlets opened or closed in the last year, indicating a stalled expansion. This lack of scale and stagnant trajectory presents a significant risk for prospective franchisees.

BOXHAUS is a nascent franchise with only a single outlet, presenting a high-risk profile for early adopters given the complete absence of any unit growth or closures to date. ✓ The franchise does disclose a strong average unit volume of $832,636, which is a positive sign for unit economics, but this figure is based on a single location and may not be replicable. ⚠ The total investment range of $258,850 to $581,300 is substantial for a concept with no proven multi-unit track record, and the 7% royalty fee is on the higher side for a brand with such limited scale. With no litigation or bankruptcy history, the primary red flag is the extreme lack of operational history and network validation.

Sambazon operates a single outlet with a high total investment range of $380,000 to $630,000, which is a significant capital commitment for a concept with no recent unit growth. ✓ The franchise discloses a strong average unit volume (AUV) of $1,129,240, suggesting robust revenue potential for the sole location. ⚠ However, the presence of a bankruptcy filing is a major red flag, and the complete lack of new openings or closures over the past year indicates a stagnant or non-expanding system. This combination of high entry cost, zero growth, and a bankruptcy history makes this a high-risk opportunity for prospective franchisees.

BunzGourmetburgersfranchise LLC is an extremely nascent concept with only a single outlet and zero net unit growth in the past year, indicating no proven expansion momentum. The total investment range of $56,200 to $252,500 is relatively low, which lowers the financial barrier to entry, but the absence of an Item 19 financial disclosure is a significant ⚠ risk, as prospective franchisees cannot evaluate any historical earnings data. While the franchise carries no litigation or bankruptcy history, the lack of any unit openings or closures suggests a stagnant or unproven operational track record. Overall, this is a high-risk, unproven opportunity that offers low entry costs but provides no financial performance validation to support a purchase decision.

Casa De Spin Franchising, LLC is an extremely nascent operation with only a single outlet and zero net unit growth over the past year, indicating no proven expansion model. ⚠ The absence of Item 19 financial performance data prevents any assessment of unit-level profitability or revenue benchmarks, making the investment a blind bet. ✓ The moderate total investment range of $111,800 to $190,133 and a 6% royalty are standard, but the lack of litigation or bankruptcy provides minimal comfort given the complete lack of scale. This franchise represents a high-risk, unproven concept with no track record of franchisee success or system growth.

Hawks Kids is a nascent franchise with only a single outlet, presenting a high-risk, unproven model for potential franchisees. ✓ The franchise does report a strong average unit volume of $626,836, but this is based on a single location, making the data statistically insignificant. ⚠ The total investment range of $87,500 to $203,700 is moderate, yet the $49,500 franchise fee is relatively high for a brand with no operational track record or growth history. With zero closures but only one opening in the last year, the system has effectively no growth trajectory, offering no validation of market demand or replicability.

Busy Bee Jumpers Franchise Systems LLC is a nascent operation with only one total outlet and zero net growth over the past year, indicating no proven expansion model. ✓ The franchise offers financial disclosure (Item 19) and has no litigation or bankruptcy history. ⚠ However, the total investment range of $161,925 to $400,200 is substantial for a single-unit system, and the $40,000 franchise fee with a 6% royalty is high relative to the brand's minimal scale.

Wut-A-Pickle Enterprises, LLC is a micro-scale franchise with only a single outlet and zero unit growth or closures in the past year, indicating no current expansion momentum. ✓ The total investment range of $69,750 to $97,700 is relatively low, and the absence of litigation or bankruptcy history suggests a clean legal record. ⚠ However, the lack of an Item 19 financial disclosure is a significant red flag, as it prevents prospective franchisees from validating any revenue or profitability claims.

Cryoshift Franchising, LLC operates a single unit with no growth in the past year, indicating a nascent or stalled concept. ⚠ The total investment range of $288,750 to $810,000 is substantial for a brand with zero proven expansion and no Item 19 financial disclosure, leaving franchisees without performance benchmarks. ✓ The absence of litigation and bankruptcy provides a clean legal slate, but the high franchise fee of $30,000 and 6.5% royalty against a backdrop of no new openings or closures suggests a high-risk, unproven opportunity.

Ivan Ramen is a nascent franchise with only a single outlet and zero unit growth in the past year, indicating no proven scalability or expansion momentum. ✓ The absence of litigation and bankruptcy provides a clean legal slate, but the lack of Item 19 financial performance data is a significant ⚠ risk, leaving prospective franchisees without any validated revenue or profit benchmarks. ⚠ The total investment range of $1.0M to $2.0M is substantial for a concept with no track record of replication, and the $35,000 franchise fee with a 5% royalty adds to the financial commitment.

With no litigation or bankruptcy history, the primary concern is the absence of any multi-unit validation, making this a high-risk, single-point bet for prospective franchisees.

Strong Pilates is a nascent franchise with only one total outlet, which opened in the past year, presenting a high-risk, unproven business model. ✓ The absence of litigation and bankruptcies is a clean start, but the franchise fee of $35,000 and 8% royalty are significant for a concept with a modest average unit volume (AUV) of just $78,678. ⚠ The total investment range of $373,145 to $1,007,300 is substantial for a single-location system, creating a steep financial entry point with no track record of multi-unit success or closures to analyze.

Sr. Ozzy's Franchise, LLC operates a single unit with no recent openings or closures, indicating a nascent or stagnant concept. ✓ The franchise reports a strong average unit volume (AUV) of $1,156,430, suggesting high revenue potential for a single location. ⚠ However, the total investment range of $85,000 to $399,500 is broad and the lack of any unit growth or litigation history provides no track record for scalability or operational consistency.
