Buying a small franchise in India can cost around ₹2–10 lakh to get started, depending on the brand and business type. It feels very reachable like your dream of business ownership just got a real chance.

It depends on the type of franchise but for a small franchise in India, a common investment range is about ₹2 lakh to ₹15 lakh (roughly USD 2,500 – 18,000). Smaller ventures such as kiosks, cloud kitchens, small retail shops, or service‑based franchises often fall in the lower end of that range. Larger or more established brands, or those requiring more infrastructure or space, may require higher upfront investment (₹10–15 lakh or more).
