Tips for Starting a Franchise Business in New York

  • Franchise fees range from $10K to $100K+ depending on the brand. That's before buildout, equipment, or working capital. Read the FDD (Franchise Disclosure Document) line by line.
  • Royalties run 4-8% of gross revenue. Every month. Forever. That's gross, not net. Factor this into your break-even math from day one.
  • Talk to at least 10 existing franchisees before signing. The FDD lists every current and former franchisee. Call the ones who left. They'll be honest.
  • Territory protection matters. Some franchises let other franchisees open 2 miles away. Verify your exclusive territory in writing.
  • The median income here is $123,000. That gives you pricing room most markets don't offer. Don't underprice.
