Find the right low-cost franchise for you
Take the franchise finderStarting a franchise for under £5,000
A smaller budget does not mean fewer options. The 79 franchises in this range start from £50 and are typically home-based, mobile or van-based models with lower set-up costs and faster routes to trading. The minimum investment covers the one-off franchise fee, starter equipment or stock, and working capital for the first few months.
Remember the headline figure is the start-up cost only — most franchises also charge an ongoing management service fee (royalty) on turnover, so factor that into your projections.
