Some Facts About
Franchise Ownership
Let's clear up three common misconceptions about franchising and explore what's really available to you.
It's true, that some franchises require very large investments, sometimes several million dollars. But there are hundreds of franchises available with much smaller investments, some as low as $25,000.
There are also great funding options such as SBA loans and penalty-free 401K rollovers available that put franchise ownership within reach for most people.
It happens a lot. An aspiring entrepreneur hears the word "franchise" and their mind immediately goes to fast food. They rule out franchising as an option when they aren't interested in a restaurant.
The reality is that there is tremendous breadth and depth in the franchise industry. We work with over 500 franchises across 37 different industries. Regardless of your business interests, there's a good chance we have an outstanding franchise opportunity for you to evaluate.
Sometimes aspiring entrepreneurs approach franchise ownership as simply a financial transaction. They believe that as long as they have the capital, they can just approach a franchise and purchase the territory they want.
Though there are minimum financial qualifications, and a transaction always happens, investing in a franchise isn't simply a purchase. It's actually an award process. Many candidates are actually rejected!
Even if you have more than enough financial resources, if you are not professional, coachable, emotionally intelligent, and willing to commit to the franchise's system and way of conducting business, you may be rejected as a candidate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Let's dig into some of the most common questions our candidates have as we begin the process.
What is a franchise, exactly?
A franchise is a business model where you purchase the rights to operate a business using an established brand’s name, systems, and support. You’re buying into a proven concept, which reduces the risks typically associated with starting a business from scratch.
How much does it cost to invest in a franchise?
Franchise costs vary widely—from as little as $10,000 to over $1 million—depending on the industry, brand, and business model. Many successful franchise opportunities fall in the $100,000–$300,000 range, and we can help you find one that fits your goals and budget.
Do I need previous experience in the industry to own a franchise?
Not at all. Most franchises are designed to be run by people without direct experience. The franchisor provides training, tools, and systems, and you bring leadership, commitment, and a willingness to follow a proven model.
How long does it take to open a franchise?
That depends on the type of business. Some home-based or mobile franchises can launch in 30–90 days. Brick-and-mortar concepts (like fitness studios or restaurants) can take 6–12 months. We’ll help you understand the timeline for any opportunity you’re considering.
Will the franchisor help me find customers?
Most franchisors offer comprehensive marketing support—brand recognition, advertising templates, SEO strategies, and more. Some even generate leads on your behalf. We make sure you understand exactly what kind of marketing muscle comes with each brand.
Can I keep my current job while starting a franchise?
In many cases, yes. Some franchises are semi-absentee or manager-run models, allowing you to keep your job while the business ramps up. We’ll help you identify which ones are truly “owner-optional” versus hands-on.
What kind of support will I receive as a franchisee?
Franchisors typically provide training, operations manuals, marketing tools, technology platforms, and ongoing support. With more established franchises you'll also enjoy a great deal of peer support from other owners. You’re in business for yourself, but not by yourself. And with us in your corner, you get even more backup.
How do I know if a franchise is right for me?
That’s where we come in. We help you assess your goals, skills, lifestyle, and financial capacity—then match you with franchises that align with your vision. It’s like matchmaking, but for business ownership. And we'll only present you with some of the best options out there.
Can I get financing to invest in a franchise?
Yes! There are several funding options available, including SBA loans, retirement rollovers (ROBS), and unsecured credit lines. We’ll connect you with trusted funding partners to help you explore what you qualify for.
Why should I work with Quantum Franchise Group instead of working directly with the franchisor?
Great question. Working with us costs you nothing—but gives you access to insider knowledge, hundreds of vetted brands, and expert guidance throughout the entire process. We help you avoid costly mistakes and find a franchise that fits you, not just any opportunity that looks shiny. And we have such an outstanding reputation with over 500 franchises that our candidates are positioned as high-priority and get moved closer to the front of the line.
