Let’s face it: Starting a business can be expensive, and most people don’t have a million dollars to invest to get their business up and running.
The good news is that you don’t need that kind of money to start a profitable business. There are plenty of great franchises you can buy for $25,000 or less, and I’ve thrown every one from our Franchise 500 list into this slideshow. The franchises come from all sorts of industries — everything from sports to auto care and tax services — so there are plenty of options that can fit your interests, strengths, and budget.
