That includes the brand’s support and training, its overall reputation, and the potential for growth and profitability. Always read through a brand’s franchise disclosure document (FDD) so you fully understand your responsibilities as a franchisee. Franchises that come at a lower investment are by no means of lesser quality than more expensive franchises though.&nbsp;&nbsp;Overall, for those willing to put in the hard work and dedication required to succeed as a franchisee, these 10 low-cost franchise brands provide an excellent starting point for anyone looking to become their own boss and achieve financial independence.
