When getting into franchising, you want to ensure you’re getting the most bang for your buck. Some franchises such as Joshua Tree offer multiple revenue streams that allow franchisees to be more profitable faster for a lower investment.&nbsp;“We have three services in one—tree care, lawn care and pest control,” said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-malik-5127b31b?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-top-high-value-low-cost-franchises-that-wont-break-the-bank-in-2023-2722064" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Joshua Malik</a>, founder and CEO of&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/joshuatreeexperts">Joshua Tree Experts</a>, which has more than 3,000 units already. “When we originally rolled out our new services, 70% to 80% of our established customers signed on for the add-ons. Best of all, 60% of our revenue is brought in through recurring revenue streams. We have a huge database of previous clients, and we’ll call, upsell and cross-sell, which really helps generate additional streams of revenue.”The concept has intentionally kept its barrier to entry relatively low, coming in between&nbsp; $196,761 to $636,405. One of the biggest variables in this range is whether the franchise owner intends to purchase the necessary equipment outright or finance it. The franchise fee for the first territory is fairly low at $49,500.&nbsp;“The way that we keep costs on the lower end is by offering a lease option and steering them toward funding agencies where they can have a low downpayment and stretch out the term over anywhere from six to 10 years, depending on what the loan fund is,” Malik said.&nbsp;While Joshua Tree Experts has its own perks for first-time franchisees, along with multiple ways to upsell their services, here are nine other low-cost, high-value franchise concepts to consider.&nbsp;<h4>Cruise Planners</h4><ul><li>Units: 3,000+</li><li>Investment costs: $2,095 to $23,367</li><li>Franchise Fee: $10,995</li></ul><a href="https://www.cruiseplannersfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-top-high-value-low-cost-franchises-that-wont-break-the-bank-in-2023-2722064" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Cruise Planners</a> is a home-based franchise that allows you to plan cruises for people from the comfort of your own home.
