Biggest Watchouts Editorial
- △ 94% of initial investment ($75,000 of $79,450–$81,500) goes directly to the franchisor at signing — highest franchisor capture ratio in either cohort.
- △ No Item 19 disclosure — zero financial performance data available.
- △ 5 franchised units total. Smallest system in the mosquito cohort by a wide margin.
- △ Technology fees are tiered by revenue (Dispatch Routing $100–$700/mo) and include per-sale commissions ($15–$35/sale) — unpredictable ongoing cost.
- △ Minimum royalty escalates to $2,000/month at Year 6+ ($24,000/year).
Strongest Positives Editorial
- ✓ Lowest initial investment in the cohort ($79,450–$81,500).
- ✓ Simplest marketing structure: flat $150/month. No percentage-based fund, no mandatory local spend.
- ✓ Zero terminations, non-renewals, or transfers across all 3 years.
- ✓ Projected to double system size in 2025 (5 new units).

Micro-system
5 franchised units is extremely small. Zero closures is positive but the sample size is too small to draw conclusions about system stability.
Disclosure Quality Editorial
No Item 19 financial performance representation. No revenue, profit, or customer data disclosed. With only 5 franchised units and no public performance benchmarks, a buyer cannot assess unit economics from the FDD.
