Going into business for one’s self isn’t for everyone. There’s an “I’m out on this tightrope all by myself” feel to it that doesn’t appeal to a lot of us. Perhaps you dreamed about becoming a franchise mogul. Alas, the nearest thing to a high roller you ever achieved was tossing a twelve when you played Monopoly. “Franchise owners have nerves of steel, old money backing them, and fireballs shooting out of their eyes. That isn’t me. I could never make it in that world.” That’s what you told yourself, but you were wrong about the old money part (The fireballs, too.) Sure, some franchises are terribly expensive. It takes $1 million to buy into McDonald’s. But, you could become a franchise owner for under $200. You just have to know where to look…or have Gildshire looking out for your best interests.
Here’s what we discovered about low initial investment franchises that could be what you have imagined. If you can lay your hands on ten grand, any one of these franchises can work for you. However, if you only have a couple of hundred dollar bills worth of disposable income, keep reading. We have something interesting for you at the bottom of the page.
Cruise Planners: Have you wondered whether you missed out. Maybe your professional calling was during the days of the downtown travel agency. Do you find yourself helping friends plan dream vacations for fun, just because you find it fun to do? Consider opening a Cruise Planners franchise. From its origins in Florida, Cruise Planners has become the biggest home-based travel franchise anywhere, with 2,500 outlets, in all 50 states. Franchisees pay the initial franchise fee and work out of their homes. They sell cruises, of course, but also rental cars, travel insurance, etc. Cruise Planners provides a proven business model, training, branding material, and marketing help, along with individual support. The initial investment: $2000.
Do these ideas light a fire in your imagination? That’s great, because your next career may be on this page.
