It’s no secret that opening your own business requires a significant investment. For those looking to go into franchising, take note: Some brands require a minimum net worth and liquidity of upwards of $500,000 just for an application to be considered. While this sizable cost does often come with a good ROI, it may not be feasible for some prospective franchisees. If you’re in the market for a franchise opportunity that requires an initial investment on the smaller side, 1851 compiled a list of brands with a minimum initial investment of less than $100,000, <a href="https://franchisebusinessreview.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=8-franchises-that-cost-less-than-100000-2712027" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">according to Franchise Business Review data</a>.&nbsp;<a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=8-franchises-that-cost-less-than-100000-2712027" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">1.
