by Franchise Business Review

Top Low Cost Franchise Guide for 2011 from Franchise Business ReviewThe 2011 Guide to Today’s Top Low Cost Franchises looks at business opportunities that require an average overall investment of less than $100,000 to get started.

“Investing in a business is never without risk,” said Franchise Business Review president and CEO Eric Stites. “But if you’re serious about owning your own business, this list is a great place to start.
