TECHY

Item 7 lays out initial investments from $118,600 to $399,500, covering inline stores, Walmart kiosks, or Techy Cafés, with a modest $15,000 franchise fee. Ongoing fees hit 7% royalty (dropping to 6% for high weekly grosses over $7,500), 2% brand/ad fund (minimum $785 monthly), plus $150 monthly for software and accessories—potentially squeezing thin margins in competitive electronics repair. No Item 19 disclosure means no validated revenue or profit figures, a red flag for transparency; investors must probe elsewhere, like the three SBA loans averaging $165,033, hinting at financing needs but low volume suggesting limited scale-up appeal.

System health per Item 20 shows franchising since 2014 with 62 franchise and 7 corporate locations, up 35% from 46 units (2022-2023), projecting 15 new units amid 10 terminations, 2 transfers. Item 3 litigation reveals franchisee claims of misrepresentation, breach, and fraudulent inducement alongside franchisor suits for contract breaches and trademarks. This volatility—high churn against growth—signals execution risks in a crowded market; strong expansion potential exists for tech-savvy operators, but without earnings data, validate via discovery day to assess if Techy's model delivers returns justifying the wide cost range.
