Great Low-Cost Franchises Under $50k
Starting your own business doesn't have to drain your savings. Here are five inexpensive franchises.
With 2016 upon us, one of the best parts about the New Year is having the chance to start over.
Individuals make multiple resolutions, ranging from losing weight, learning something new, and, of course, getting out of debt and save money. Others have their sights set on the bigger picture—maybe this is the year you finally start your own business? While in search of “the next big thing,” new entrepreneurs want to ensure they are getting the most value in which they have invested their savings into. Starting a business can be pricey but not impossible—this could be the year you finally stay true to that resolution.
According to Eric Bell, general manager of FranchiseGator.com, investing less than $50k to open your business is relatively inexpensive in the world of franchising.
“When it comes to a lower price range, franchisors find that they have an easier time selling units, which makes it even more important to hire the right franchisees. On the other end of the spectrum, these low cost franchises make it easier for new entrepreneurs to get their foot in the door without putting everything at risk,” Bell said.
Here are five franchise concepts under the price of $50,000.

GYMGUYZ is No. 1 in home personal training, providing convenient, customized and creative workouts.

Founded in 2008 by fitness specialist Josh York, today the mobile brand employs a full fleet of trucks to bring state-of-the-art fitness equipment and expert coaches to their customers’ doors.
