Low Cost Franchise Opportunities Outside of Fitness

Low-Cost Franchise Opportunities

Your traditional low-cost franchise opportunities include: Anytime Fitness, Orange Theory Fitness, Crossfit, Curves, Gold’s Gym, Planet Fitness, Pure Barre, Snap Fitness, and UFC Gym locations are very popular low-cost franchise opportunities. Unfortunately, the cost to start one of these types of franchises can be in the range of $250,000 all the way up to $2 million. When looking for low-cost franchise opportunities in 2015 or 2016 a large number of entrepreneurs don’t want to start half a million dollars in the hole. Rather than sinking an entire life’s savings, plus business loans, into a franchise it is smart to look for cheaper opportunities. Splash and Dash for Dogs will allow you to open a pet store franchise for under $60,000.

Taking the time to research all options available before starting a franchise is imperative. This type of business venture will consume one’s life for many years down the road. The hard work upfront will allow small business owners to live the lives of their dreams later. Becoming your own boss could make a world of difference in overall happiness. Once your pet store franchise has been established and it is making money you will have the opportunity to make your own schedule and decide when you want to go on vacation.

Finding Year-Round Franchises

Something that can be very difficult in the fitness and gym industry is fickle members. It is well known that the largest number of sign-ups for a gym membership happens in January. People get back from the holidays and they have a New Year’s resolution to lose weight and get in shape. They may think they are going to spend three to five days in the gym every week but it simply does not happen for most Americans. They have delusions of grandeur thinking they will be able to lose 30 pounds of fat and gain 10 pounds of muscle in a few short weeks. Unfortunately, this is simply not the case and these “newbies” to the fitness industry end up giving up for the rest of the year and not going back to the gym.

Dog Grooming Franchises

A dog is going to need bathing and grooming year-round. Much like humans, pets are going to need to be washed on a consistent basis. People do not have to go to the gym three to five times a week but it is strongly suggested that they bathe multiple times a week. Sanitation is a necessity in life as unsanitary situations could cause sickness and possibly even worse. One of the reasons gym memberships decline after the new year is that people realize they have more important things to do such as advance in their career, spend time with their pets and families and bathe.
