Yeah, steer clear.

Who knows if they'll be able to pay you. Who knows if they know what they are doing. Who knows what their expectations of you will be if you are their first foreign teacher. Will they have enough students? If they go out of business, you will be screwed. And if you lose a single kid for them (which will most likely happen at some point), they'll f'ing hate you.

I wouldn't consider it for a second.

I third that. Steer clear!

Nothing but trouble and over-time (curriculum development) that you won't ever get paid awaits you.
