Opening your own franchise can be a great way to become a business owner, but many people assume that it requires a high net worth or substantial investment. While owning a franchise does require hard work and dedication, that doesn’t always mean it will require you to have a seemingly impossibly high net worth.&nbsp;Almost every franchise does have some sort of net worth requirement, and larger brands tend to require higher net worths than others. This is because franchises want to ensure their business owners will have enough financial health in order to succeed, and they typically don’t want your business’s growth to be limited by a lack of capital.&nbsp;However, there are still many opportunities available for those who don’t have a considerable net worth. Here are 10 franchise opportunities that are available with lower net worth requirements.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&amp%3Bai=C_Y5C-5MUZOmiK86S0_wPmdaNkAfJ3qfJbKKEmrO9EOWO_p3aCAgAEAEguVQoAmDJhoCA3KPcEKAB1Nyu5wLIAQHIA9ggqgRtT9ABWcDADuOu-VHHizJpKWn_M0lVMK1vQTyCImhJeCZuD3qf4FW5oh--NgwVrDHPr5XvwkZeNSXe_QQg8PY-M_iie2AfpK-TgteHULHRzpcsCtfgEsSx2y0drYVExKHb8prfz7DKbKcULuQGRsAEz6SVzPoBgAWQTogF2r7xwgagBmaAB5Sj0ZgBiAcBkAcBqAemvhuoB7masQKoB_PRG6gH7tIbqAf_nLECqAfK3BuoB7uksQKoB9imsQKoB5GqsQKoB9uqsQKoB9CqsQKgCK_GqASwCAHSCBcQAiCEAzIEg-CADjoCAAJCAQRI0ezzKpoJMmh0dHBzOi8vY2VydGFwcm8uY29tL2xhbmRpbmctcGFnZS9vd24tYS1mcmFuY2hpc2UvsQmpab-TJfLs_7kJqWm_kyXy7P_4CQGYCwGqDAIIAbgMAegMBqoNAlVTghQfCAMSG2NlcnRhcHJvIHBhaW50ZXJzIGZyYW5jaGlzZYgUAcgU7vD4iOirzpAT0BUB-BYBgBcBkhcIEgYIARADGArgFwI&amp%3Bae=2&amp%3Bved=2ahUKEwiLqaP4r-P9AhURgoQIHUOQDtwQ0Qx6BAgHEAE&amp%3Bnis=8&amp%3Bdct=1&amp%3Bcid=CAASFORoEu099MBA5NUCSfjwUkV4RyPn&amp%3Bdblrd=1&amp%3Bsival=AF15MEA9Aqxvr03fmeAav698Wj24cXY_6obX6vVyVqTblnUmsuwhZ0RvC__a_PIjpdSoxWlGSgoc6BtdeaIvY4-hAQmKCadpfMlieklMTQgufdUK_y6MQSX9fU-rutErWqWW05QQAZEW_KQpMEXL4ZcDqI_tKSAupTSD1t760DwjeLdZM8z16LJKbkiAgLsIiefqdw1bUWxc&amp%3Bsig=AOD64_0zORqCg_wBn22bgTvauO83tuS79w&amp%3Badurl=https%3A%2F%2Fcertapro.com%2Flanding-page%2Fown-a-franchise%2F%3Fvendor%3Dgso_caputo_design%26source%3Dppl%26t%3DCertapro%2520Franchise%26type%3D%2520-%2520PPC&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=10-franchises-that-dont-require-a-high-net-worth-2722226" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">CertaPro Painters&nbsp;</a>Units: 370+ Startup Costs: $90,750 to $188,900Net Worth Requirement: $200,000 to $250,000<a href="https://www.chesterschicken.com/franchise-with-us?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=10-franchises-that-dont-require-a-high-net-worth-2722226" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Chester’s Chicke</a>n Units: 1,200+ Startup Costs: $15,950 to $288,118 Net Worth Requirement: $50,000<a href="https://poolscoutsfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=10-franchises-that-dont-require-a-high-net-worth-2722226" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Pool Scouts*</a>Units:65+Startup Costs: $85,400 to $138,300 Net Worth Requirements: $200,000 to $250,000<a href="https://www.theupsstorefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=10-franchises-that-dont-require-a-high-net-worth-2722226" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The UPS Store</a> Units: 5,400+ Startup Costs: $80,357 to $508,472 Net Worth Requirement: $350,000<a href="https://franchiselemacaron.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=10-franchises-that-dont-require-a-high-net-worth-2722226" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Le Macaron French Pastries</a> Units: 60+ Startup Costs: $88,730 to $458,560 Net Worth Requirement: $250,000<a href="https://www.mosquitosquad.com/franchising/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=10-franchises-that-dont-require-a-high-net-worth-2722226" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Mosquito Squad&nbsp;</a> Units: 230+ Startup Costs: $153,410 to $201,035 Net Worth Requirement: $100,000<a href="https://franchise.sirgrout.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=10-franchises-that-dont-require-a-high-net-worth-2722226" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sir Grout</a> Units: 44 Startup Costs: $99,975 to $152,530 Net Worth Requirement: $100,000<a href="https://caringtransitionsfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=10-franchises-that-dont-require-a-high-net-worth-2722226" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Caring Transitions</a> Units: 265 Startup Costs: $58,912 to $82,712 Net Worth Requirements: $50,000<a href="https://propertymanagementincfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=10-franchises-that-dont-require-a-high-net-worth-2722226" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Property Management, Inc.</a>&nbsp; Units: 380 Startup Costs: $15,000 to $62,900 Net Worth Requirement: $60,000<a href="https://trubluefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=10-franchises-that-dont-require-a-high-net-worth-2722226" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">TruBlue Total House Care</a> Units: 85+ Startup Costs: $65,050 to $91,400 Net Worth Requirement: $50,000
