Whether you’re on a tight budget or have $1 million in capital sitting in the bank, there is no shortage of investment opportunities available in the franchise world. 

Startup costs vary, but they typically range from $10,000 to more than $1 million. Other fees include real estate, leases, franchise fees, equipment, inventory and insurance.

Most people seek outside financing when they purchase a franchise, and many loan options are available, including rollover as business startups, Small Business Administration loans, home equity loans, a second mortgage, using your own savings or financing through the franchisor.
