Minimum Investments Required

Getting started with a franchise always requires a minimum investment. Every startup has an investment cost, and with franchises, it is far easier to predict what that cost will be and compare it to your available funds. Minimum investment requirements include the initial franchise license fee and the cost of your starting location, equipment, staff, and supplies. 

The investment required depends on the franchise and the size of your first venue. As a result, the minimum investment can easily fall within the range of $50,000 to $500,000. It is recommended to have at least $50,000 ready to invest up-front.

Franchise Fees and Royalties

Franchisors charge franchisees fees and royalties for granting them the rights to use the brand name and providing them support. It all starts with the Initial Franchise Fee, but there might be additional fees for training, grand opening support, and initial equipment packages. In addition, franchisors charge a monthly or weekly Royalty fee. This is usually a percentage of Gross Revenue or Sales. It is up to you to decide what kind of Initial Fees and Royalties you feel comfortable with and you think might provide you with the right kind of earnings potential.

Support from the Franchisor

A great franchise opportunity is one where the franchisor offers abundant support. Training, resources, guides, and even advice when you hit a rough patch can make a difference, transforming a simple business arrangement into a partnership. They may have a support program or an online resource center for easy answers and guides. As the franchise network grows, you may also experience franchisor support through your fellow franchisees' experiences and shared systems.

Available Territories

One of the reasons to seek an emerging franchise opportunity is the available territories. Franchises typically limit where franchisees can set up to distribute demand for their brand and products properly. At the same time, franchisees naturally seek a territory close to home. The more territories are available with your franchisor, the better you can position your store and potentially open more than one location under the franchise within a comfortable drive from home.

Brand Recognition and Growth

Finally, you'll want to evaluate the current local brand recognition and potential for growth. If your franchisor is currently drawing business from nearby towns, there is room to grow by providing customers with their favorite brand location a little closer to home. Compare the franchisor's growth alongside the success of any franchisees that are already part of their network. Smaller franchise opportunities can be very rewarding, provided the company has been growing.

Choosing a Profitable Franchise: How Much Money Will I Make?

Estimating the profitability of any business takes time and care. When choosing the best franchise, you will be able to speak with other successful franchisees for validation of the model, training and support.

Start by examining the Financial Performance Representations (FPRs) in Item 19* of the franchise in the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). This section of the FDD provides insight into the revenue, expenses, and profits of current franchisees.

Look at existing franchisees' performance over the first year and the first ten (or maximum available) years of operation. Look at product sales, other income, and expected expenses like payroll, rent, and materials.

Revenue Does Not Equal Profit

If this is your first business, it is important to realize that revenue does not necessarily equal profits. Revenue is your total income, the amount of money attained in a given period. Profits are what is left of the revenue after expenses. Therefore, a profitable franchise needs excellent revenue and an efficient and practical balance of revenue to costs to make a profit.
