Franchising 101: What does it cost to start a franchise?

One of the most important things to research when considering franchise ownership is the initial investment or startup costs associated with opening. Investment costs will vary from brand to brand but typically include things such as an initial franchise fee, costs associated with assets and inventory needed to get the business open, and working capital needed to cover operating expenses during the startup phase. A detailed description of initial investment costs can be reviewed in Item 7 of the brand’s Franchise Disclosure Document.
