FAST FOOD FRANCHISES

INITIAL FINANCIAL INVESTMENT : $ 5,000 ROYALTY : 50 % of sales

Chick-Fil-A ’ s political stance has made it a tricky investment in recent years , but the brand is gearing up for a more inclusive image overhaul and rapid expansion , appealing to potential franchisees in growth areas identified throughout the United States . With a price tag of as little as $ 5,000 to open a location of your own , it might be the lowest startup cost in the industry , making it an enticing option and building fierce competition among potential franchisees . But be aware that the Chick- Fil-A franchise model is different from others – all franchisees rent their property and location with no option to buy , and royalties more than make up for that low startup cost in the long run . Still , for determined newcomers with low startup capital , it can provide a good first taste of the franchising industry . www . chick-fil-a . com
