Top 10 Franchises More Than $250,000

Some franchises require a capital investment of more than $250,000. When investing in a franchise that requires this much capital, you should have your finances in order. There is more involved in a business with a higher investment, so you may have to budget for merchandise, staff, equipment, construction, and more. While this large investment can deter franchise ownership, you should consider looking into the best business to start with $250k if you have the financial resources.

Here are the top franchises more than $250,000 for week ending January 25, 2026. The IFPG uses its internal data collected from our portal to identify which franchises more than $250,000 had the most activity in the past week. This ranking system is not based on franchise sales, franchisee success rates or number of units open. We use our ranking system to help identify new and upcoming franchise systems. This ranking system should not be used to make a decision on which franchise to buy, it was solely created for internal purposes and for our IFPG Members.
