Low Franchise Fee: Good Investment?

When purchasing a franchise a "low franchise fee" (although relevant) does not necessarily equate to a good investment. Nevertheless evaluating your budget and overall investment is a basic and critical task that all prospective franchisees must evaluate. The amount of the upfront franchise fee is one of the cost factors to evaluate. Recently, Franchise Business Review released their annual review of franchises with an initial investment level of under $50,000. Below are some of the franchises that Franchise Business Review identified:

  • Heaven's Best Carpet Cleaning
    Cash Required: $15,000                                 
    Total Investment: $24,900 - $60,000
  • FocalPoint Coaching
    Cash Required: $49,950
    Total Investment: $49,950 - $60,000
  • MaidPro
  • Cash Required: $20,000
    Total Investment: $18,709 - $103,959
  • JumpBunch
    Cash Required: $50,000
    Total Investment: $34,700 - $79,400
  • Cruise Planners
    Cash Required: $25,000
    Total Investment: $30,000 - $65,000
  • 5-Star Painting
    Cash Required: $25,000
    Total Investment: $30,000 - $65,000
  • Showhomes Home Staging
    Cash Required: $10,000
    Total Investment: $43,000 - $64,000
  • Tax Centers of America
    Cash Required: $25,000
    Total Investment: $15,000 - $45,000
  • Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning
    Cash Required: $45,000
    Total Initial Investment: $34,630 - $57,010
  • Snap-On Tools
    Cash Required: $17,925 - $80,071
    Total Investment: $17,925 - $289,080

Franchise fees represent only one factor to evaluate when answering the question: "What is the right franchise opportunity and investment for me?".  To understand more about franchise fees, I recommend reading:

Charles - Great post. You are correct that just a low franchisee fee does not necessarily make a franchise a good investment. That is exactly why Franchise Business Review's research focuses on franchisee satisfaction. There are thousands of franchise opportunities available today, but only the very best franchise businesses have high enough satisfaction among their franchisees to make our annual list of Top Low Cost Franchises.

The ten companies listed above have each been surveyed by FBR several times and haven proven to have outstanding franchisee satisfaction - probably the most important factor to consider when investing in any franchise opportunity.

Thanks again for posting, Charles. Great stuff!
