Franchise Resources

Dream of starting your own business but don't have the cash to make it happen? Think franchising is out of your reach? Think again, because believe it or not, there are cheap and low cost business opportunities that can get you started as your own boss with investments starting at $20,000 and less.

Understandably, not everyone has the high capital available to start a huge endeavor, but that shouldn't stop you from realizing your dreams. And just because a franchise is "cheap" doesn't mean it's not a good, quality investment. So if you have less cash but a lot of motivation, don't close the door your future.

Popular Low-Cost Franchise Categories

What low-cost franchise option will be the right fit for your needs and goals? Explore the following categories as a starting point:

Vending Franchises

Not only is a vending franchise a potentially affordable way to get started, but it can also be an excellent entry point for someone interested in a part-time business venture. Without employees to manage or a storefront to keep open, a vending franchise may allow the flexibility needed to keep working a job while transitioning into the life of a business owner.

Medical Billing Franchises

There is minimal overhead required to start a medical billing business, and the ongoing demand is significant. With a franchisor on your side, finding your first clients will likely be easier than if you were just offering services as an individual in this competitive market.

Explore Opportunities

Consulting Franchises

It would be a shame to let your hard-earned knowledge and experience in a particular field of business go to waste. Consulting is an excellent business model that comes with only a modest financial investment to get started. While the cash required is minimal, you will have to bring your skills to the table to convince clients that you can help drive their business forward.

Explore Opportunities

Cleaning Franchises

A cleaning business is another great low-cost franchise opportunity. While there will be a lot of physical work at the start—sweat equity—you could transition to a management role as the business grows and you can afford to bring on more employees.

Explore Opportunities

Tutoring Franchises

You shouldn’t need to invest much money at all to get started with a tutoring franchise. The overhead will vary depending on the way the business is set up to serve students, but a tutoring franchise is a great way to enter a potentially lucrative market without the need to build your own brand recognition.
