There’s an age-old saying that plays through business owners’ ears again and again: “it takes money to make money.” I don’t have the first clue where the old proverb came from, but wherever it originated, it has found its way into the minds of many a fearful entrepreneur. As if starting a business wasn’t challenging enough as it is, someone went and put this strange notion in our heads that if a person doesn’t start out in business with a good deal of money, they won’t be successful. But this, however, is no longer the case, and here’s a short list of some great franchise opportunities that cost $20,000 or less and can take you from a startup business owner to a six-figure salary franchisee as soon as the first year of your franchise.

Mechanized Business

While these small businesses don’t exactly run themselves, once these franchises machines are properly stocked and placed in the right location, the money does start to roll in with very little ongoing effort for the franchisee. DVDNow and Breathtesters USA are not only inexpensive to start, but brilliantly designed for making sustainable profit night and day, seven days a week without the franchisee’s presence. DVDNow holds staunchly to its name, providing DVDs to the public, twenty-four hours a day, from automated kiosks, which look very much like vending machines. Dollars go in and DVDs come out, all while the work-at-home franchisee is meeting with the owner of another potential kiosk location. Breathtesters USA works in much the same way. Set up in bars and restaurants, instead of malls and grocery stores, Breathtesters USA machines, for a fee, give patrons the ability to check their own blood alcohol content before they drive away from the establishment and give the cops an opportunity to do it for them. This saves bar-goers a legal nightmare, saves the cops a headache, potentially saves innocent bystanders their lives, and fills the franchisee’s bank account. Both businesses cost very little to start, but provide consistent income.

Hands-On Money-Making

Not everyone wants to invest their hard-earned money into a business and not have the morale-boosting benefit of actually being present to see the work and the finances rolling in. If you prefer a more “hands-on” approach to your small business, here are some low-cost business opportunities for you. For those who love people and love travel, Cruise Planners LLC could be just the ticket. One of the premier cruise/travel-planning franchises to date, this company name is well known for providing excellent customer care to current cruise-lovers as well as effectively reaching out to the vast, untapped masses of people who have never cruised and are ripe for giving it a try. Not to mention, for the low startup cost, this business produces huge commissions, some of the biggest of any industry.

For the handy-at-heart, though, there are also plenty of great franchise options, and this next one is specific to our dear franchise neighbors to the north. Aurora Sealers LTD is a Canadian franchise company that specializes in tile and grout sealing and cleaning. This is for the entrepreneur who enjoys doing the work for himself and is looking for a business with an unending list of potential clients.

Making Money From Other People’s Money

As the perfect blow to the saying that “it takes money to make money,” here are some home-based businesses that do take money to make money, just not yours. After a frugal initial fee, the proud owner of a Blue Coast Financial Group franchise is given all the tools to be a financial advisor to businesses of every size and caliber. Giving help in all areas from regular payroll to loans and capital investment, the franchisee with this group is paid to help other people make and save their own money. In a similar vein, Premier Leasing Academy and Lease One deal in equipment leasing. Work-at-home franchisees with these groups are given all the training and tools to help match companies with a plethora of different types of business equipment (from office to construction) that they otherwise would not have been able to afford. This is not only a great service to other developing businesses, but a highly profitable sector of work. All three of these franchises are available without a whole lot of startup capital to easily begin making money from the financial resources of other businesses, while simultaneously helping to advance the client’s bank account and financial productivity as well.

What It Takes To Make Money

Truly, having money doesn’t hurt when you’re trying to make more, but it’s not an absolute necessity. What is necessary is a product or service that someone needs, the drive to push through all the discouragement that comes with starting a new business, and the wisdom to make effective systems and good business decisions along the way. The benefit of running a low-startup franchise is that all those things are already established when you come to the table. Anyone can make money, even if you don’t have very much.

For most entrepreneurs, the first investment is usually the most difficult and is often what makes or breaks a career in business. No investment is a sure thing, but rather than just diving into a business and hoping it works out, there are a few ways to insulate yourself to give your first small business venture the best chance for success. One of the top ways to get your business running strong out of the gate is to choose one of the many new franchise opportunities available that not only have a strong track record and represent a solid investment, but also are geared towards new investors by supplying everything needed to make the business a success from branding and marketing to business plans and leadership and management training. If you’d like to set out on your own first investment but need a little reassurance and a push in the right direction, take a look at a few New Franchise Opportunities For The New Investor.

Strong Investment, No Bull!

A franchise is available for nearly every investment level and career path, but for the average first time investor, low cost franchises will be the most practical choice and generally the quickest way to expand your business by creating quick cash flow and operating with low overhead. Paint Bull is one such franchise that specializes in repairing minor auto damage right at the customer’s home or place of business. With initial investments ranging from $5,000 to $30,000 and many franchisees reporting annual sales of over $100K, it’s easy to see how this home based business can pay off very well, even in the first year. No auto knowledge is required as Paint Bull will train and certify you to perform repairs, provide you will all of the necessary equipment and supplies and even send a Paint Bull representative to your area to help you with the initial sales. The icing on the cake for new investors is the loan process available directly from Paint Bull providing you with a new home based business for $0 down with approved credit.

Hot, Spicy, Right To Your Door

Seeing an overwhelming majority of pizza in the food delivery market and wanting to offer a fun and tasty alternative, Wing Zone began a little more than a decade ago and has grown fast, earning such accolades as “Top 20 new franchise offerings” from entrepreneur magazine and a featured appearance on the Food Network in the popular show, “Roker on the Road.” Wing Zone’s 25 proprietary sauces help them to stand out among other wing establishments and the small footprint of only 1,000 sq/ft needed for the restaurant makes starting your own Wing Zone more practical and affordable than nearly any other retail establishment. Their award winning sauces combined with a strong delivery system makes Wing Zone a strong franchise and a great candidate for the new or first time investor. Wing Zone provides franchisees with extensive training, real estate assistance and ongoing support through telephone consultation and a company wide Intranet. Interested investors should have a minimum of $60,000 liquid capital and a total investment of around $250-$300K.

Deck Out Your New Investment

An estimated 60 million (or 75% of all single-family homes) do not have a deck, and Archadeck is capitalizing on this $8 billion market as America’s Deck Buildersm. With over 65,000 successful projects since it’s inception in 1980, Archadeck has built a proven deck building method and expanded its services to sunrooms, gazebos, pergolas, arbors, pool & spa decks and plenty of other outdoor structural applications. With an Archadeck franchise, you’ll be able to work from home on all of the administration work and then on site for the actual construction. Franchisees with little to no construction experience need not be intimidated because Archadeck provides comprehensive training and have made successful franchisees from entrepreneurs from all walks of life including communications, computers, accounting, retailing and many other fields. Along with the specific training related to the actual construction, Archadeck also provides training in marketing, sales and administration taking you from new investor to a seasoned Archadeck entrepreneur.

Bark and Brew

Like Reese’s candy with chocolate and peanut butter, sometimes some of the most unlikely combinations can ultimately work very well together. This is the idea behind the Muddy Paw Wash & Coffee Bar, a unique franchise opportunity providing a top-notch dog washing service, a retail store filled with plenty of products for your furry friend, and a gourmet coffee bar, serving up hot cappuccinos and cool iced lattes. While the three aspects of the business work very well together, the pet retail section and coffee bar serve to attract their own client base and work well to boost your business by giving you three distinct businesses in one location. With nearly 75 million dogs in the US, many in urban areas, pet boutiques have really started to take off in the last few years and with the unique and diverse business approach taken by Muddy Paw Wash & Coffee Bar, prospective franchisees are poised to take a big piece of this growing market.

While no investment is a guarantee, these franchises show great potential for the first time investor with their broad appeal, low overhead and unique business models. A new business venture requires not only a financial investment, but also a personal investment of time and hard work and an emotional investment of pouring yourself into a business to make it succeed. The best way to guarantee that you’ll be able to provide this investment is to consider all of the financial costs required to run the business for at least the first year and secondly, choose a business that excites you. With a business that will make you want to jump out of bed in the morning and go to work, you’ll set yourself up for success, and that positive outlook will work it’s way down to your employees, your customers and ultimately, your profits.

Grandma: The BrightStar Inspiration For This
Senior Care Franchise

BrightStar Healthcare Franchise Opportunity_2The inspiration for BrightStar Healthcare came from our own family experience. When our late Grandma was suffering from cancer, we were surprised by how difficult it was to find quality professionals to help care for her. We made calls, left messages and did a lot of waiting. It was a long time before we could finally find people we could trust. We are forever grateful for the help our caregivers provided during our time of need.

The creation of BrightStar Healthcare stems from this experience. We decided to create a great company that would provide families the highest level of care, dignity and personal attention at a time when they are most vulnerable through age or infirmity.
Let’s make a difference together

Chances are you or someone you know has been in a situation similar to ours. Imagine the difference you could have made in their time of need. Many families are facing these difficult situations today and many more families will be facing them tomorrow. You can become part of the solution with our senior care franchise opportunity.

You will help seniors live with dignity and stay in the comfort of their homes. Even as their needs change, you will enable them to stay in their homes because you will provide every service they could receive in a nursing facility.BrightStar Healthcare Franchise Opportunity_1

“BrightStar’s environment of support, strong corporate leadership and commitment to quality have made joining this family the best decision of my professional life.” – Cheri McEssy, BrightStar franchisee
A thriving market

The future is very bright. BrightStar provides services to the largest and fastest growing market segment in the U.S. – seniors. The need for home healthcare and medical franchises is growing rapidly and the senior population is a group with much greater than average healthcare needs. Seven thousand people a day turn 65.
Three revenue streams – Home Care, Staffing and National Accounts

With BrightStar’s home healthcare franchise, you will be able to reach more clients. We offer three types of home care – non-medical care that includes companionship and transportation; personal care that includes bathing and assistance with the activities of daily living; and skilled medical care that includes invasive care handled by RNs and LPNs.

BrightStar Healthcare Franchise Opportunity_4Additionally, you will provide supplemental staff to businesses. Providing staff to businesses is typically three times more profitable per hour than home care.

Lastly, we have a dedicated focus on bringing revenue to our franchisees through national accounts.

You do not need to have medical or healthcare experience. What is absolutely necessary is a passion to succeed. We’ll supply the necessary framework to give you every opportunity to do so. We offer the best training in the business. Our relationship does not end after you open your doors. We will always be at your service.

We know that our proven business model works, so finding the right owners is very important to us. Our typical franchisee is either a mid-level manager or above who has 5 years experience managing at least 3 people or more. Some have owned businesses before, but it is not a prerequisite. You need to be compassionate and caring. You also need to be able to build relationships, network, be resourceful and have a net worth of $400,000. We’ll provide the rest.BrightStar Healthcare Franchise Opportunity_3

Our growing health care franchise family is made up of people who care about people. Join us and we will make a difference together!

Experience shows soap leaves behind a sticky residue which acts as an adhesive, thus attracting dirt and grime back to the surface of the carpet. As a result, customers are left with unsatisfactory results and a lifetime of searching for a truly effective carpet cleaning specialist

OxiFresh Carpet Cleaning® uses a combination of its one-of-a-kind Oxi Sponge, Encapsulator and Oxi Powder. This three-part cleaning solution creates a powerful oxygenated cleaning system that breaks down the stains while encapsulating them so that they can be effectively removed from the carpet pile. It is safe for children and pets, leaves no sticky residue, reduces the possibility of returning stains and has a one hour average dry time. The results establish a high quality carpet cleaning service and satisfied repeat customers.

A Premier Pizza Franchise In A Growing Market

Americans eat about 100 acres of pizza per year!

Manny & Olga’s Pizza Franchise Opportunity. Wow! Who wouldn’t want to grab a slice of that territory? And it’s growing strong. The pizza market is a $30 billion industry that continues to thrive and expand. According to Technomics, Pizza restaurants will rank among the fastest growing segments in the food service industry for at least the next 5 years.

Long a popular choice, pizza has evolved into a sweetheart of America’s tables. A generation of young adults who grew up “favoring pizza over anything else” is now heading up its own households and still loving pizza. For more than a decade, Manny & Olga’s Pizza have been serving their tempting selection of pizzas to this ever-growing market at prices so great that customers return again and again.

And that’s just the beginning. If you are accepted as a Manny & Olga’s franchisee, you’ll offer satisfied customers more than pizza – you’ll offer another “star” of today’s dining scene – great sandwiches. Consumers are eating more sandwiches and fewer burgers. And restaurant Manny & Olga’s Pizza Franchise Opportunity_2operators, from national hotshots to regional standouts, are banking on their continued popularity. Manny & Olga’s is positioned to satisfy this growing market, offering hungry patrons an incredible selection of irresistible sub sandwiches.
The pizza and sandwich trend is sizzling!

There’s more to the story than a taste for pizza and sandwiches. Diners aren’t just hungry; they’re busy and less skilled at cooking. In today’s fast-paced world with its growing number of dual income families, the convenience of takeout and delivery is the key to your customers’ hearts. And takeout is representing growth of the best kind. This is great news if you have the drive to become part of the Manny & Olga’s family of takeout/delivery restaurants! Our stores are designed to offer an economy of space, requiring less square footage than would typically be necessary to accommodate dine-in patrons. Our takeout/delivery concept reduces the need for waitstaff, busboys and dishwashers – all factors that Manny & Olga’s Pizza Franchise Opportunity_3affect both payroll and service time.
Are you ready to meet the demands of a promising market?

Manny & Olga’s has developed a proven system of operation, designed to meet the demands of the modern consumer. When you operate a Manny & Olga’s franchise, you’ll follow our blueprint and receive our ongoing support. Not only will you be able to reduce your risks by using our system, but you’ll benefit from providing services and products under our already established name.

We have developed a comprehensive support system to help you with everything from start-up and marketing, through day-to-day operations. We’ll share with you the procedures, recipes and service philosophies that we’ve developed throughout our years of experience in the industry. You will be treated like part of the family, learning our “family secrets” in operating a business that works!

Manny & Olga’s Pizza presents an outstanding business opportunity in the burgeoning industry of takeout/delivery pizza and sandwiches. We will be selecting qualified individuals to own and operate a select number of franchise units. If you share our dedication to exceptional customer service, have a commitment to delivering top quality food products and understand the value of providing hands-on ownership in the daily operation of you own business, let’s talk!
