Episode Summary

Welcome back to the Franchise Fit Podcast—I’m Lance Graulich. Most people overestimate franchise costs and underestimate returns, which keeps them stuck in research mode. In this episode, I break down real franchise investment ranges, the funding options that actually get deals done (often you don’t need the full amount in cash), the biggest budgeting mistakes, and a 60-second Franchise Money Test you can use to see what “tier” you’re in and which franchises fit your budget.
