Дешевые франшизы для маленького бизнеса: Недорогие франшизы 2020 — каталог недорогих франшиз для малого бизнеса

Франчайзинг в Москве — популярные франшизы в Москве

2015-2020 года для бизнеса в Москве

2015 год для бизнес-сообщества в Москве стал первым за несколько лет, когда число занятых в малом бизнесе упало. Об этом писал РБК со ссылкой на Мосгорстат. В целом падение было на уровне 2,6%. Больше всего пострадала строительная сфера, на втором месте – торговля.

Оптовая и розничная торговля также не порадовали результатами. Показатели снизились на 3,4%. А меж тем, это важнейший показатель для всего бизнеса.

Что интересно, по данным этой же структуры, выручка сегмента МСП не сократилась. А вот сами предприниматели заявляли, что ситуация на самом деле хуже, чем отражает статистика. То же мнение выражали и аналитики РБК, и некоторые члены комитета по экономике Москвы. Снижение выручки по разным данным составляло от 10 до 15%.

Такая ситуация была закономерной не только для Москвы, но для всей России в целом. После 2014 года спад наблюдался по всей индустрии. И такая ситуация держалась несколько лет подряд. Что интересно, фактическое снижение отразилось и на восприятии индустрии потребителями. Так, по данным Левада-Центра, доля желающих открыть свой бизнес к 2017 году упала до 22%. Хотя ещё несколько лет назад составляла 32%.

С 2017 года падение показателей замедлилось. Хотя всё ещё не прекратилось. Препятствиями для непроизводственного сектора малого бизнеса эксперты называли всё ещё слабую покупательскую способность населения и отсутствие малых инвестиций. Впрочем, прогнозы на ближайшие годы были хорошими. Ожидалось оживление, на которое должны были повлиять программа реновации, проведение ЧМ-2018, а также усиление государственной поддержки.

По итогу 2017 года стало понятно, что индустрия вошла в процесс стабилизации. Издательство INC Russia публиковало статистику, которая показывала, что по многим параметрам удалось выйти на уровень докризисного 2014 года.

На конец этого года нижняя граница окупаемости малого бизнеса составляла 0,9 года, хотя в 2016 году была равна 2,4 года, а в 2015-ом – 2,1 года. Доходность инвестиций выросла и составила 0,2 – 2,4 рубля на каждый рубль выручки. В 2014-ом этот показатель не выходил за пределы 0,9 рубля, что по мнению аналитиков равнозначно.

Быстрее всего оправилась индустрия общепита. Причём, что интересно, среди всех сфер этой отрасли, быстрее всего выросли фреш-бары. Число таких баров в городах-миллионниках выросло в 1,5 раза, а больше всего их стало в Москве. За один год их количество удвоилось и достигло 850.

В следующие два года до 2020-ого индустрия окончательно стабилизировалась. Хотя были как положительные факторы, так и отрицательные.

Так, например, усилилась фискальная нагрузка на предпринимателей и надзор со стороны государства.

Началась общая консолидация рынка по всем сферам. Крупные игроки стали поглощать малых или выдавливать их, активизировался франчайзинг. Теперь среди новых компаний стало больше тех, которые открылись по франшизе, а не в одиночку.

Государство работало не только в векторе усиления контроля за бизнесом, но и в плане поддержки предпринимательства. Так, согласно данным rg.ru Москва в рейтинге инвестиционного климата за последние пять лет сумела подняться с 17-ого на 1-ое место. За поддержкой предприниматели могли обратиться за субсидиарной поддержкой для компенсации затрат на экспорт, участие в выставках, покупку оборудования и других выплат.

Действовал Московский инновационный кластер, который помогает налаживать связь между предпринимателями и начинать инновационные проекты. По-прежнему действует портал MBM.MOS.RU, который занимается комплексной консультацией и образованием предпринимателей. Техноград способствует подготовке конкурентноспособных кадров на рынке и развивает деловую среду.

Помимо этого внимания стоят такие проекты как «Московская неделя предпринимательства» и «Бизнес-уикэнд».

В 2019 году специалисты Сбербанка в своём исследовании писали, что 2018-ый год стал положительным для сегмента МСП (малого и среднего предпринимательства). Это был подъём после долгого спада. А 2019 год показал закономерную стабилизацию ситуации, доля активных компаний увеличилась на 0,3%.

Как показала статистика, количество тех, кто начинает новый бизнес снизилось. Но при этом увеличился интерес к франчайзингу, который даёт инструменты для «более безопасного» старта – опыт старшего партнёра, уже весомый бренд, проверенная на других точках эффективность стратегии и другие.

Мини-франшизы

Мини-франшизы станут идеальным вариантом ведения бизнеса для предпринимателей, чьи средства и опыт недостаточны для запуска компании среднего или внушительного формата.

К тому же мини-франшизы позволяют совмещать трудовую деятельность с началом собственного дела. А уже далее, если всё пойдёт благополучно и бизнес будет приносить ощутимую прибыль, можно будет смело уйти со своего постоянного места работы и развивать своё небольшое предприятие.

В условиях неблагополучной экономики, все предложения мини-бизнеса являются отличным средством для экономии финансовых вложений и сохранения, а также приумножения настоящего и будущего капитала.

В настоящее время можно условно выделить три формата мини-франшизы:

1. Экономичный;

2. Расширенный;

3. Люксовый.

Чем же они отличаются друг от друга?

Экономичный формат — всё самое основное, главное и ценное из всех условий франшизы. Ничего лишнего, а только то, что нужно для запуска бизнеса и всё по-минимуму: логотип, право на использование зарегистрированного товарного знака, бизнес-план (не всегда предоставляется, здесь уже зависит от условий определённых мини-франшиз. В каких-то может быть, а в каких-то нет, только за отдельную плату. Это уже нужно уточнять у самих франчайзеров), инструкции и руководства для самого предпринимателя и персонала. Минимум слов — больше дела!

Расширенный формат представляет собой всё вышеперечисленное, но уже с дополнительными опциями, например, в виде обучения сотрудников, консультации от представителей франчайзера, помощь в подборе помещения, корпоративный фирменный стиль и дизайн-проект помещения.

Люксовый формат — это создание проекта под ключ с закреплённым персональным специалистом от франчайзера, который приедет к новому франчайзи на место для помощи в открытии бизнеса и налаживания процессов работы, который также всегда придёт на помощь в трудную минуту. Он своего рода антикризисный менеджер, решающий проблемы разного рода сложностей неопытного франчайзи, главная задача которого не довести компанию до банкротства.

Мини-франшизы имеют широкий спектр выбора сфер деятельности, среди которых есть такие сферы как:

• Медицина;

• Индустрия красоты;

• Сфера общественного питания;

• Спорт;

• Сфера культурно-развлекательного характера и другие.

Богатое разнообразие позволяет начинающим бизнесменам выбрать направление для себя, ориентируясь на свой вкус, актуальность и сумму имеющихся сбережений.

Открыть бизнес по франшизе в разы легче, чем действовать одному:

Во-первых, Вы получаете известное название, т.е. уже немного экономите на рекламной кампании, поскольку люди уже знакомы с компанией и продукцией;

Во-вторых, Вам даётся чёткий план действий, и не нужно самому продумывать каждый шаг, таким образом экономите своё время;

В-третьих, Вы не один воин в поле, а это значит, что всегда можно обратиться за советом к опытному франчайзеру.

Самое главное — это не пренебрегать наставничеством. У франчайзера гораздо больше опыта и понимания работы франшизного предприятия, что поможет избежать ошибок и не потерпеть неудачу. К тому же это позволит сохранить Ваши временные, трудовые и финансовые ресурсы. Прислушиваясь к наставлениям франчайзера Вы быстрее выйдете из зоны безубыточности и станете наращивать знания, опыт, которые приведут к увеличению Вашей прибыли.

Мини-франшизы привлекательны тем, что не требуют специального профессионального узконаправленного образования. И опять же начинающему бизнесмену в деле по мине-франшизе будет разобраться проще и быстрее, чем вникать во все нюансы работы крупных компаний. Не стоит рассчитывать на огромную прибыль при приобретении и запуске мини-франшизы. Данный вид мини-бизнеса стоит рассматривать как стартовую площадку для подъёма по карьерной лестнице предпринимателя.

90000 The Best Low-Cost Franchises To Purchase In 2020 90001 90002 90003 90004 90002 While buying a franchise can certainly be a profitable investment opportunity, the cost to actually start up a popular franchise is usually quite steep. You will easily invest $ 2- $ 3 million to open a Taco Bell or Wendy’s, with the latter fast food chain also requiring you to have liquid assets of $ 2 million and a net worth of at least $ 5 million. These requirements put many popular restaurant franchises out of reach for most aspiring franchise owners.However, just because you have to be a multimillionaire to open a McDonald’s does not mean that there are not much lower-cost franchise opportunities. You will have to look outside of fast food for the most part, though there are some fast food and restaurant franchises that you can open for under $ 100K. 90004 90002 Some types of low-cost franchises you can (usually) buy into without breaking the bank include travel agencies, commercial cleaning companies, sports / fitness instructor franchises, education / tutoring franchises, windshield repair, and others.Of course, just because a franchise is inexpensive does not mean it’s a good idea to buy into it-some franchises are cheap for a reason: they’re not a good value. To help you find a quality, low-cost opportunity, I’ve compiled this list of franchises that not only have a low price tag, but also have the potential for high profits. 90004 90002 All of the top franchises on this list can potentially be bought into for an initial franchise fee of 90010 less than $ 50K 90011, but some you can buy into for 90010 under $ 1,000 90011.I’ve divided them into categories to make it easier for you to navigate depending on which type of franchise interests you most. 90004 90015 Travel Agency Franchises 90016 90002 90018 90004 90002 Starting your own travel agency can be a good idea for organized, self-motivated individuals who love travel and like the idea of ​​helping people score great deals on their own dream getaways. Travel agency franchises are often home-based, meaning there is very low overhead and minimal startup costs.90004 90022 1. Dream Vacations 90023 90024 90025 90010 Initial franchise fee: 90011 $ 495- $ 9,800 90028 90025 90010 Total initial investment: 90011 $ 1,795- $ 20,300 90028 90025 90010 Franchise description: 90011 Home-based travel franchise 90028 90025 90010 Awards & distinctions: 90011 Entrepreneur Best Home-Based Franchise (2018), USA Today Top 50 Franchises for Minorities (2017), IFA 5-Star Franchise (2018-2019), # 101 in Entrepreneur Franchise 500 (2019) 90028 90041 90002 If you’ve ever dreamed of starting your own travel agency, Dream Vacations can allow you to do that for a 4-figure initial investment- and from the comfort of your own home.Dream Vacations has collected a lot of accolades over the years (see Awards & distinctions above) and current franchisees rate it highly on sites like Glassdoor and Indeed.com. DV lets you market your business under Dream Vacations or its sister company CruiseOne, and is currently looking for new franchisees throughout the U.S. 90004 90002 A major benefit of owning a home-based travel agency franchise like Dream Vacations is its low overhead. DV is also a veteran-friendly business in that it gives a 20% discount on the franchise fee to veterans.The company offers in-house financing if you can not afford the franchise fee, or you could also get a franchise loan from a bank or online lender. 90004 90022 2. Cruise Planners 90023 90024 90025 90010 Initial franchise fee: 90011 $ 695- $ 10,995 90028 90025 90010 Total initial investment: 90011 $ 2,295- $ 23,367 90028 90025 90010 Franchise description: 90011 Home-based travel franchise 90028 90025 90010 Awards & distinctions: 90011 # 60 in Entrepreneur Franchise 500 and # 1 in Travel Agencies category (2019), American Express Travel Representative Excellence Award (2018), Inc.5000 List (since 2012) 90028 90041 90002 Cruise Planners, an American Express Travel Representative, is another low-cost, work-from-home travel agent opportunity. Do not let the name fool you; as a Cruise Planners travel agent, you can book a lot more more than just cruises-you can also connect your customers with great deals on airfare, car rentals tours, hotels, etc. Cruise Planners claims they offer the highest commissions in the industry, and they do not require any travel experience. 90004 90002 When evaluating this franchise, I found their website to be very friendly and informative, though I could not find a figure for the initial investment, apart from the $ 10,995 franchise fee (with no discounts).However, as with other work-from-home, service-based franchises, I expect a home-based business like Cruise Planners would require few startup expenses apart from the franchise fee (according to the official franchise disclosure document, the total initial investment to open a Cruise Planners franchise can range from $ 2,295 to $ 23,367). Cruise Planners offers in-house financing if you can not afford the franchise fee, as well as a deep discount for veterans, first responders, and travel industry professionals.While Cruise Planners has a larger initial franchise fee than some other home-based travel agency franchises, a big perk you get with Cruise Planners is the American Express network affiliation. 90004 90022 3. Travel Leaders 90023 90024 90025 90010 Initial franchise fee: 90011 $ 1,500 90028 90025 90010 Total initial investment: 90011 $ 2,270- $ 16,910 90028 90025 90010 Franchise description: 90011 Travel agency franchise (storefront preferred) 90028 90025 90010 Awards & distinctions: 90011 Largest network of travel agencies in North America, highest-ranked travel management company in Business Travel News ‘annual survey (2016), Top North American travel companies in Travel Weekly 2016 Power List 90028 90041 90002 Travel Leaders is a quality, yet inexpensive franchise ownership opportunity if you’re an experienced travel agent who is interested in running a storefront travel agency.According to information in their FDD (Franchise Disclosure Document), it requires upwards of 10 employees to run a Travel Leaders agency, and the initial franchise fee is only $ 1,500. To be honest, I could not find that much information online about what it’s like to work for Travel Leaders, but the brand has accumulated a number of industry accolades over the years-to be specific, over the past 131 years the company has been in business (Travel Leaders has been franchising for 35 years). Travel Leaders offers several different tiers of franchise ownership, with no long-term commitment.90004 90002 Travel Leaders is currently seeking experienced travel agents worldwide. 90004 90015 Commercial Cleaning Franchises 90016 90002 90097 90004 90002 If you are a dedicated hard worker but do not necessarily have a specific skill-set, starting your own cleaning business can really pay off. Commercial cleaning is a fast-growing industry, and most of the top commercial cleaning franchises are flexible and scaleable, with a low initial investment and part-time options. 90004 90022 4. BuildingStars 90023 90024 90025 90010 Initial franchise fee: 90011 $ 795 (for initial unit option) 90028 90025 90010 Total initial investment: 90011 $ 2,245- $ 53,200 90028 90025 90010 Franchise description: 90011 Commercial cleaning for office buildings with part-time option 90028 90025 90010 Awards & distinctions: 90011 # 199 in Entrepreneur Franchise 500, Inc.5000 List (2017) 90028 90041 90002 BuildingStars is one of the largest, fastest-growing franchises in the commercial cleaning industry, with a sole focus on solutions for office buildings. Services include nightly cleaning, green cleaning and consulting, and carpet and floor care. According to BuildingStars, this franchise offers the highest average gross revenue of any cleaning franchise. BuildingStars also has the benefit of allowing you to start small, working part-time to start your cleaning business while you keep the income and security of your current job.The franchise offers three levels of franchise ownership: part-time technician, full-time onsite manager, and corporate manager. Depending on your goals, you can start as a part-time technician, then work your way up to onsite manager and corporate manager as you build experience managing larger-tenant office buildings. 90004 90002 BuildingStars has mostly positive reviews on sites like Glassdoor and Indeed (with average respective ratings of 3.6 / 5 and 3.9 / 5 stars on those sites). The company is currently looking for new franchisees worldwide, and can offer in-house financing to cover not only the franchise fee, but also equipment and other startup costs.90004 90022 5. JAN-PRO 90023 90024 90025 90010 Initial franchise fee: 90011 $ 2,520- $ 44,000 90028 90025 90010 Total initial investment: 90011 $ 4,170- $ 54,700 90028 90025 90010 Franchise description: 90011 Commercial cleaning franchise with multiple tiers of ownership 90028 90025 90010 Awards & distinctions: 90011 # 1 Commercial Cleaning Franchise and Top Franchise For Veterans in Entrepreneur Magazine (2019), Top 200 Franchise in Franchise Business Review (2018), Top 50 Franchise for Minorities in USA Today (since 2012) 90028 90041 90002 JAN-PRO is another fast-growing commercial cleaning franchise with multiple tiers of investment, including a home-based option.This company’s network of 10,000+ franchisees focuses on business cleaning, healthcare cleaning, and green cleaning. JAN-PRO franchisees offer cleaning services to businesses such as car dealerships, restaurants, banks, gyms, schools, churches, medical centers, and offices.

There are several important things you need to understand before purchasing a franchise: 90004 90024 90025 Opening a new franchise is different from buying an existing franchise (a franchise re-sale) and there are different steps associated with each type of transaction.You’ll probably need to hire an attorney to help you perform pre-purchase due diligence tasks like reviewing the FDD (Franchise Disclosure Document). 90028 90025 Territory is 90347 everything 90348 in the franchise business. Before buying into a franchise, you need to know how large your territory is and how many franchisees are nearby to make sure you’re not entering an oversaturated market. You can find territory information in the FDD. 90028 90025 Franchises do not run themselves. Most franchisees must be actively involved in managing their franchise in order for it to succeed.That said, once you are running a successful franchise, the franchise company will often give you the opportunity to start additional locations in your territory. 90028 90025 Pay attention to the 90010 estimated initial investment 90011 (as disclosed in the FDD), not just the franchise fee. Oftentimes on a franchise’s promotional materials (including the company’s website), only the franchise fee is listed front and center, as if to imply this figure is how much it costs to open a franchise. This is, of course, misleading, as the franchise fee does not include the cost of things like inventory, labor, real estate, equipment, working capital, etc.90028 90025 Is it a franchise or a pyramid scheme? Lots of multi-level marketing companies may sound like a franchise at the outset, promising to let you «own your own company.» But if the «opportunity» focuses mostly on recruiting other people to the company (rather than selling the actual product / service), then you’d probably be wise to run for the hills. 90028 90025 Find out what other franchisees have to say. Check reviews on Indeed.com, Glassdoor.com, online forums, and anywhere else you can find information on a franchise you’re interested in.This way you’ll know whether the franchise is worth investing your time and money, and you will be prepared for the potential negatives associated with owning that particular franchise. 90028 90041 90002 Read my 90347 Step-By-Step Guide To Buying A Franchise 90348 for more need-to-knows about how to buy a franchise. 90004 90015 How To Finance Your Franchise Startup Costs 90016 90002 There are various ways to finance a new franchise. Which one you choose depends on the franchise’s policies regarding financing, and the types of financing available to you.Here are a few ways franchisees finance their startup costs. 90004 90024 90025 90010 In-House Franchisor Financing: 90011 Many franchises have in-house financing programs that allow you to finance startup costs such as the franchise fee, equipment, inventory, etc. It’s also common for franchises to partner with third-party financing sources to offer financing for their franchisees. 90028 90025 90010 Personal Or Business Loan: 90011 If your franchise does not offer financing or you prefer not to use their financing program, you can also obtain a loan on your own (depending on if your franchise allows this).It can be difficult for new businesses to get a business loan from a bank, but you might be able to get a startup business loan or a personal loan online. To find out about some good online loan options for new franchisees, be sure to read my post on the best loans for franchises. 90028 90025 90010 SBA Loan: 90011 If your franchise is listed in the SBA Franchise Directory, then you may be eligible for a low-interest SBA franchise loan. Read our guide to SBA franchise financing to learn how to get an SBA loan to finance your franchise startup.90028 90041 90002 There are also alternative financing options you might consider to fund part or all of your franchise startup costs, such as crowdfunding, ROBS, or even a business credit card. 90004 90002 It’s also important to note that most franchises have specific requirements as to franchisees ‘personal net worth and liquid cash. Some franchises will not even let you buy into the franchise if you do not have deep enough pockets to cover your startup costs yourself (in other words, they do not allow any kind of financing).Most of the franchises on this list do allow you to finance your franchise startup costs via a loan or other means. 90004 90015 Final Thoughts 90016 90002 Buying a franchise is not cheap. In addition to the franchise fee, you have to pay for inventory, labor, a business space, and other costs. You’ll also need to have enough working capital to run your business and support yourself before your franchise makes a profit. However, there are a lot of low-overhead franchises that you can start without breaking the bank.Particularly, home-based franchises such as travel agencies, commercial cleaning companies, and sports / fitness instructor franchises can be very inexpensive to get started with. There are even low-cost fast-food franchises out there if you know where to look. As long as you do your due diligence before buying into a franchise and secure adequate financing, you will be well-positioned for success as a franchisee. 90004.90000 The Most Profitable Small Businesses for Under $ 20k in Australia 90001 90002 Investing in a franchise has numerous advantages.

You could reap the benefits of an established brand with a popular product or service and a great reputation. There’s also access to support with advertising and marketing, and operation manuals to streamline the way you run your business.90003 90002 On the other hand, franchising gives you much less control of how, where and for how long you run your business. 90003 90002 Before you buy a franchise, it’s important to seek advice from an experienced business adviser, accountant or lawyer. Here are some tips to consider before you commit to a franchise. 90003 90010 Learn everything you can about franchising 90011 90002 You need to learn about franchising and it is highly recommended to get professional advice before you sign up to buy a franchise.You can learn more about franchising through FranchiseED’s free online courses: 90003 90002 It’s important to ask plenty of questions and make sure you understand how the franchise model could affect the way you do business. 90003 90010 Understand the franchise agreement 90011 90002 The franchise agreement is a contract you agree to for a set amount of time, often five years. It covers exactly where and how you will run your franchise — and it’s worth consulting a professional to make sure you understand your rights and responsibilities under every clause.90003 90002 Once the franchise agreement ends, the franchisor has no obligation to renew your franchise, so the business and any goodwill you’ve built could go back to the franchisor. 90003 90010 Read the disclosure statement carefully 90011 90002 Franchising in Australia is regulated by the Franchising Code of Conduct. Before entering a franchising arrangement, you should be given certain documents including your franchise agreement, code of conduct and disclosure statement. 90003 90002 This disclosure document should list all the current franchisees within the business.Get in touch with some of them to find out about their experiences and any issues they might have faced with the business model or dealing with the franchisor. It’s worth contacting more than one franchisee and even past franchisees for a more balanced view. 90003 90002 90029 Tip 90030: Read the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s (ACCC) quick guide to a franchising disclosure to help you understand the key terms in this document, as well as explaining some of the key points to consider if you are planning to buy a franchise.90003 90002 It is also important to keep abreast of changes to the code of conduct and what these might mean for your franchise.

There are certain risks to be aware of in franchising that might not apply to other types of business.In particular: 90003 90038 90039 You’ll need to have extra funds to cover unanticipated costs over the term of your franchise agreement. For example, your franchisor may change their systems or the look of their stores and you will usually be responsible for the cost of these changes. 90040 90039 Consumer demand may not be the same in every geographical location. One type of franchise or location may perform well, while others do not find the same success. 90040 90039 You will not necessarily have the choice of where you buy your stock.You might find cheaper products through another supplier but your franchisor may have long-term contracts in place with existing suppliers. 90040 90045 90002 Before you commit to buying a franchise, you need to know whether you’re likely to be able to recover your upfront costs and make a profit during the term of your franchise agreement. 90003 90002 Watch the ACCC’s Buying a franchise?

Watch out for any overlaps in territories or unclear boundaries, as these could cause major issues competing with other franchisees. 90003 90002 You’ll need to know how many territories the franchisor has, how many are available for sale, how many are planned for the future, whether other franchisees can compete within your territory and how online sales are managed within territories.90003 90010 Consider restraint of trade 90011 90002 This is a clause which stops you competing with the franchise itself during the term of your franchise agreement and after the agreement ends. Make sure you understand how this will affect you as a franchisee and after your agreement ends. 90003 90010 Find out if there are ongoing fees 90011 90002 In most franchise business arrangements, you (as a franchisee) would pay a royalty fee to the franchisor on a weekly, monthly or yearly basis.You need to know how this royalty fee works, whether it’s a flat fee or a percentage of your sales and whether there are separate fees for advertising and marketing. 90003 90010 For more information, consult a professional 90011 90002 If you would like general guidance or more details about what you should ask your lawyer or accountant about franchising, get in touch with our free small business advisory service. 90003 .90000 Best Franchise Opportunities in China 90001 90002 Attractiveness of China for the development of franchise business 90003 90004 China is recognized as the most populated country in the world.
