Risk Disclosure

Understanding the Risks

All investments carry risk. We believe in transparency about challenges you may face as a franchise partner.

⚠️ Market & Operational Risks

  • Competition from established platforms (Shopee, Lazada, GrabFood)
  • Merchant churn may exceed 8% projection
  • Regulatory changes in e-commerce/delivery sectors
  • Currency fluctuations in international operations
  • Economic downturn affecting SME spending

💰 Financial Risks

  • Additional funding may be needed if targets not met
  • Profitability may take longer than projected
  • Commission rates may need adjustment for competitiveness
  • Free tier adoption may cannibalize paid subscriptions
  • CAC may increase due to market saturation

🛡️ Mitigation Strategies

  • Target underserved markets where globals have limited presence
  • AI automation reduces support costs by 60-70%
  • Commission model aligns platform success with merchant success
  • Multi-tier structure distributes risk across partners
  • Conservative projections with 8% churn assumption

✅ Support & Training

  • Comprehensive 1-4 week training by tier level
  • Direct access to Singapore HQ engineering support
  • Marketing assets and campaign templates provided
  • Quarterly strategy sessions with leadership
