Franchise Startup Cost

It is common for there to be confusion between out of pocket cost vs total investment cost for a franchise.

Start costs are considered out of pocket costs, or the amount of money you will need upfront to get started with a franchise. This amount can vary in relationship to your personal budget needs, amount financed, and equipment needs.

Total investment cost includes money out of pocket and loans to finance your initial franchise investment. Your total investment differs from start-up costs, which are required for you to launch your business.

A comparison can be made between buying a home and starting a business. An initial down payment on the home (start cost) will get you moved in, and the mortgage (total investment cost) are required to continue living there.
