If you are considering starting a business, whether in our home town of Denver, Colorado or anywhere in the United States, then join the club. It is a club with hundreds of thousands of members who made the decision to step away from Corporate America and enjoy the freedom of becoming their own boss.
As with any new venture, you are bound to have plenty of questions when you consider business ownership as a career path. Where do you begin? How much will buying a franchise cost? Exactly what industry is the best fit for you?
The good news is that franchising has been around for a long time, and there are a lot of stats and numbers to back up the success rates of franchisees vs. business owners who try it on their own. And even if you are not a number-cruncher, you will still be impressed.
So, here is franchising, by the numbers:
3000
Did you know that there are over 3000 franchise opportunities out there? Amazing, right? When most people think about franchising, they think about burger joints. But there is so much more! However, 3000 business opportunities are a lot to look through, so it might be a wise decision to contact a professional franchise consultant to help sort out those options.
120
Those 3000 franchise opportunities span over 120 industries. Yes, fast food is one of them, but there are so many that you are bound to be a perfect fit for one. Here are just a few of the industries that offer exciting opportunities:

They will tell you they got a leg up on regular startups with marketing support, vendor resources, financing assistance, and the overall support of an organization that is totally invested in their success.
$10,000+
How much does it cost to start a franchise? Some have startup costs as low as $10,000 and others as high as $1 million+, but the average franchise investment ranges between $100,000 and $500,000. You typically need 25-30% of this investment to be liquid, coming from you.
There is also a myriad of financing options for entrepreneurs who want to open a franchised business. A franchise consultant can not only help you find one that fits in a budget for you, but can also help you discover financing options that are a perfect fit for you.
