Be Your Own Boss
Service-Based Franchises
These often include multi-unit or multi-territory models in restoration, commercial cleaning, and home services. The investment supports vehicles, staffing, and a management team—built for sustainable, recurring revenue.
Pet Care Franchises
Premium grooming, daycare, or boarding facilities often range between $500K–$1M. They require buildout but deliver consistent demand and strong repeat business.
Wellness Franchises
Boutique gyms, recovery studios, and wellness centers with full equipment and design buildouts fit this range. Owners benefit from high membership retention and semi-absentee potential.
Senior Care Franchises
These models include in-home care, companion services, and specialized support options. Many are designed for scalable teams and long-term client relationships.
F&B Franchises
Compact fast-casual restaurants, drive-thrus, and specialty cafés sit squarely in this tier. You’re buying into tested menus, supply chains, and strong operational systems.
Digital & Multi-Unit Franchises
At this level, some owners choose scale over footprint—purchasing several territories of service or digital models for regional expansion.
What You Can Expect From a $1M Franchise Investment
Expect full buildout, initial staff training, launch marketing, and working capital for several months. Many owners in this tier take a semi-absentee or portfolio approach.
