How to use these ranges
Each band is the typical total initial investment reported in Item 7 of franchise disclosure documents for that category: franchise fee, build-out, equipment, opening inventory, training travel, professional fees and the franchisor's estimate of working capital for the first months. The real figure for a specific brand and site can sit outside the band, especially in high-rent cities.
Royalty and fee figures are the common structures for the category. Some brands charge flat monthly royalties, tiered percentages or technology fees on top. Read what a franchise really costs and confirm everything in the brand's current FDD with a franchise attorney.
