Who says that opening a franchise has to be really expensive? While those that are really attractive will definitely bring in a really high initial cost, there are many that you can easily take advantage of when your investment budget is really low.
With the low cost franchise opportunities that we mention below we focused on those that are available all around the world. Keep in mind that some that are even cheaper may be available at local levels.

The total initial investment you need varies between $3,000 and $50,000, with an ongoing royalty fee of 10 percent and a franchise agreement term of 10 years. You just need the investment amount and around one thousand dollars in liquid cash.
