Financial Health Notes
Peach Cobbler Factory's financial condition raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency, as noted by its auditors. Management has plans to address these issues, but the financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. This financial condition calls into question Peach Cobbler Factory's ability to provide services and support to its franchisees.
Financing Details
Peach Cobbler Factory does not offer any direct or indirect financing to its franchisees. This means franchisees will need to secure their own financing for their Peach Cobbler Factory business from third-party lenders, as the franchisor will not guarantee any notes, leases, or other obligations.
