Franchises $500,000+ to Start

Grouped by the low end of the real investment range each franchisor discloses in Item 7 of its FDD -- not a marketing headline number. The high end can run well past this figure, so check each profile before ruling anything in or out.

Only hand-verified brands show up here -- more are added to each tier as they're checked against their actual filing.
