Franchise is one of the most affordable franchise opportunities. However, proper funding of initial start-up costs is essential to establish a solid business future. Undercapitalization is the number one cause for small business failure. It is very important to be certain that the necessary capital will be available to get your franchise off on the right track.
The Initial Franchise Fee is $39,500 for an area up to 75,000 Owner Occupied Homes and approximately 250,000 in population.
The following table represents an estimate of the total initial investment (initial franchise fee + additional expenses) you will incur in establishing your franchise.
