Franchises with $250K+ in liquid capital — frequently asked

What franchises can I buy with $250K+ in liquid capital?

2,521 franchises in our FDD corpus have a total initial investment within reach of a buyer with $250K+ in liquid capital, assuming typical franchise financing (most lenders and franchisors expect roughly 20-30% of the total investment in cash, so we include any brand whose low-end investment is at or under about 5x that liquid figure). Ranked by the strength of their disclosure record, 7 Brew leads the list.

Which franchises with $250K+ in liquid capital disclose earnings?

1,454 of the 2,521 make an Item 19 financial performance representation — franchisor-disclosed unit earnings, not estimates. They are ranked first in the table on this page.

Liquid capital vs. total investment — what's the difference?

Liquid capital is the cash you have on hand today. Total investment (FDD Item 7) is the full cost to open, usually covered partly by financing. Franchisors and lenders generally want your liquid capital to be at least 20-30% of the total investment.
