Franchise under ₹10 lakh: common questions

+What kind of franchise can I actually open under ₹10 lakh?

At under ₹10 lakh you are usually looking at a kiosk, a counter, a small-format store or a service or online model with no outlet at all. Full-service outlets with a kitchen or treatment rooms sit well above this band. The listings here are filtered on the starting investment each brand publishes.

+Does under ₹10 lakh include everything I will spend?

No. Banding uses the starting investment the brand states. It excludes the rent deposit, your working capital for the first three months, and anything the brand has not published. Ask for the full opening cost sheet in writing before paying a franchise fee.

+Are low-investment franchises worth it?

They can be, but the trade-offs are real: smaller formats rarely come with an exclusive territory, and a low fee sometimes means the brand makes its margin on supply pricing instead. Check the royalty, the supply terms and the territory clause, not just the entry price.
