How did we select the low investment franchise companies for our detailed analysis?

FranchiseHelp utilized the January 2007, 28th Annual Franchise 500 of Entrepreneur magazine to begin compiling our own low investment listings. All 50 of our franchise entries have been honored as a Franchise 500 company for the current year. After looking at Entrepreneur’s compilation, we only examined those franchise companies where after further research we determined that the minimum initial investment was under $50,000. Then, utilizing the company’s Franchise Offering (UFOC), we extracted the information most important in the evaluation of a franchise system. Lastly, we entered all the document information into charts for easy comparison.

FranchiseHelp’s Selection of the Top 3 Low Investment Franchises

First of all, we eliminated all those franchises that had an annual franchise closure rate (for the last year available) of more than 10% after we excluded all transfers.
Next, we looked at the following factors to make our final selection of the top 3:
1. Marketability of the business product or service (especially in regards to population, demographics and perceived market needs)
2. Competition in the business category
3. Ability of the franchise to service the franchisee satisfactorily
4. Chance of Franchisee achieving a reasonable return on investment (ROI)

FranchiseHelp’s Three Best Low Investment Franchises from the original 50 are revealed at the end of the study.
