Franchises under $100,000 are typically considered low-cost franchise opportunities. While in many cases (but certainly not all), higher-investment franchises may offer a higher earnings potential, there are many low-cost franchise brands whose franchisees are highly satisfied with their small business ownership. This initial investment includes the franchisee fee, as well as several other costs required to get your business up and running.
The below list contains a wide variety of business types, but is skewed toward service-based and home-based business opportunities due to the fact that they often do not involve brick-and-mortar locations, which can have steep development costs.
It is important to note that these companies have a minimum investment of less than $100,000, but their maximum (or average) investment may be higher. Please review their profiles and complete the contact form to get a more complete understanding of cost requirements.
