10 Franchises That Don't Require a High Net Worth

Opening your own franchise can be a great way to become a business owner, but many people assume that it requires a high net worth or substantial investment. While owning a franchise does require hard work and dedication, that doesn’t always mean it will require you to have a seemingly impossibly high net worth. 

Almost every franchise does have some sort of net worth requirement, and larger brands tend to require higher net worths than others. This is because franchises want to ensure their business owners will have enough financial health in order to succeed, and they typically don’t want your business’s growth to be limited by a lack of capital. 

However, there are still many opportunities available for those who don’t have a considerable net worth. Here are 10 franchise opportunities that are available with lower net worth requirements.
