Tips for Starting a Franchise Business in Texas

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 $188,396. That gives you pricing room most markets don't offer. Don't underprice.
