When most people think of purchasing their own franchise, their thoughts immediately go to the restaurant industry. This is understandable, as some of the biggest players in the franchise business are restaurants- McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Dunkin’ Donuts, the list goes on.

What many people don’t consider are the costs associated with owning a restaurant franchise and therefore don’t recognize how a service franchise like Footprints Floors can provide them with a better opportunity for a better life.

The Cost of Owning a Restaurant Franchise

According to Business Insider, a prospective franchise owner needs at least $750,000 in liquid capital in order to open a McDonald’s or Taco Bell, and those are on the lower end of the spectrum.

To open a KFC, a net worth of at least $1.5 million dollars is necessary.

In addition to these huge investment costs, the royalties and advertising fees of popular restaurant franchises are usually over 10% of monthly revenue – a huge hit to store profits. The zoning and code compliance laws also pose a problem to new Franchise Owners, as it can be very time-consuming to obtain all the necessary permits.

Considering all of these hindrances, some Franchise Owners look for alternative industries to get involved in, and many settle on the service industry.
