There&#8217;s a good reason franchising is so popular among new entrepreneurs: The risk that comes with starting any new venture is much lower when you have a proven business model and an in-demand product. But there&#8217;s a caveat&#8212;many big-name franchises are notoriously expensive. Fortunately, there are options, and buying into a successful, established brand won&#8217;t break the bank. Though brands like McDonald&#8217;s or Pizza Hut may be out of reach, it&#8217;s possible to own a smaller&#8212;but just as lucrative&#8212;franchise for less than the cost of a sports car. A low-cost franchise is a sound choice for a first-time franchisee. In general, it&#8217;s less-risky&#8212;you don&#8217;t need a fat savings account to get things moving. In return, you&#8217;re still getting the same kind of strong, time-tested model that&#8217;s sure to be worth the initial investment. According to <a href="http://franchisebusinessreview.com/franchise-reports/top-low-cost-franchises/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-choose-a-low-cost-franchise-3214" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Franchise Business Review</a>, low-cost franchises, such as <a href="http://advantaclean.com/franchise/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-choose-a-low-cost-franchise-3214" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">AdvantaClean</a>, <a href="http://miraclemethodfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-choose-a-low-cost-franchise-3214" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Miracle Method</a> and <a href="http://bestinclassfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-choose-a-low-cost-franchise-3214" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Best in Class</a>, offer a variety of benefits: Faster potential profitability, the opportunity to work at a home-office base and increased flexibility, as many low-cost concepts don&#8217;t necessitate owners being present at a particular location for a set period of time. &#8220;If you&#8217;ve already started researching franchises, then you already know how expensive it can be. Low-cost franchises, however, are a financially viable way for you to own your business. Less debt, combined with lower start-up costs, can result in faster profitability,&#8221; Emma Pearson said in the Franchise Business Review. &#8220;This is just one of the many added perks drawing entrepreneurs to this savvy business option.&#8221; <a href="http://mosquitojoefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-choose-a-low-cost-franchise-3214" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mosquito Joe</a>&nbsp;allows its franchisees to succeed in business without a big investment. With costs significantly lower than most franchises, particularly due to low initial staffing needs and no necessity to build out a retail space, the company is a popular choice for budding entrepreneurs. With an initial investment of $83,000, franchisees get to license the company&#8217;s name for 10 years alongside comprehensive training and support, marketing supplies, equipment and a vehicle. After spending three years full-time in the military, Benjamin Grace returned home to Flowery Branch, Georgia looking for a way to break into a new line of business without putting his family&#8217;s finances at risk. After spending an afternoon researching low-cost franchise opportunities, Mosquito Joe popped up on his computer screen. &#8220;I immediately called up Mosquito Joe because they presented themselves exactly that way&#8212;as a low-cost franchise filled with immeasurable potential. I opened the business with little trouble on April 2015, and we&#8217;ve been busy every single day since then,&#8221; Grace said. <a href="http://kitchensolversfranchising.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-choose-a-low-cost-franchise-3214" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kitchen Solvers</a> is another company that offers one of the most competitive franchise and royalty fees on the market&#8212;and they&#8217;re successful at what they do. The brand believes that there is a fine balance between investing too much money at the start of a franchise, and getting something so cheap that a potential franchisee would have been better off starting a business from. Kitchen Solvers found that balance, offering low-cost kitchen franchises with a proven track record for success. With a fee of $35,000, Kitchen Solvers is $5,000 cheaper than other kitchen remodeling franchises on the market. <a href="http://showhomesfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-choose-a-low-cost-franchise-3214" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Showhomes</a> was recently named one of the top 50 low-cost franchise opportunities in the marketplace based solely on assessments from actual franchise owners. The low-cost start up investment for Showhomes starts at only $45,300 and yields some of the highest revenues in the home staging sector. According to Matt Kelton, the COO of Showhomes, the company is a great opportunity for individuals looking for a flexible career path that is also fulfilling as well as cost-effective. &#8220;Our sustained growth is a direct outcome of our passionate franchisees that see the value in a lucrative career with low start-up costs,&#8221; said Kelton.
