However, due to the these factors, there is quite a high requirements from their franchisees – to make sure they continue to build the McDonald’s brand.

McDonalds Franchise Requirements:

• Very Large Capital Outlay
  Several sources confirm that if you are interest in a McDonalds Franchise then you are going to have at least $1million (probably more like $1.5million), just to get started. This figure includes franchise fees, equipment and other startup costs. This figure does not have to be totally unencumbered – as long as you have a sound business plan.
  
  
• Quality Business Experience
  McDonald’s want to make sure that you would be able to successfully run one of their stores and even though they have a proven system, they definitely require you have to quite a business background. As well as having previous management experience in a fast food service business, they also require general business and marketing experience.
• Very Long Franchise Agreement
  Be prepared to sign your life away for as long as your home mortgage, with McDonalds Franchise Agreements being for a term of 20 years. That is a quite a large portion of your life to literally give to a business, but if you like the first 20 years, then you will have the option to renew your agreement for another 20 years for the initial franchise costs.
  
  
• Be Committed To Working IN Your McDonalds Franchise
  McDonald’s requires its franchisees to be actively involved in the day-to-day running of their franchise.

However, if you are able to meet their stringent requirements, and are lucky enough to be approved, then you are sure to have a fantastic investment. The proof is in the fact that most Franchise owners are multiple franchise owners. But if you do not qualify you could always consider the many McDonalds careers on offer.

Franchise Costs Explained

There are five separate costs that you will need to consider when looking into the purchase of a franchise. Here is a list of these costs with a short description to help you gain a better overview of franchise costs.

1. Initial Franchise Fee

   Every franchise has it’s own initial franchise fee.Ranging from about $10,000 (for home based and internet franchises) up to over $1 million ( franchise, franchise and other famous fast food franchises), this initial franchise cost covers support, initial training and management, very much similar to the purchase price of an existing business. But there is no need to get to worried about having the full initial franchise fee upfront as many different payment options are usually made available to potential franchisees.

2. Setup/Build Costs

   Not the initial franchise costs are only for the setup of the business systems that make the franchise unique. They do not include the capital required to set up a shop front and purchase the required office machines. You will need to budget this into your franchise costs analysis.

3. Legal Fees

   Franchises have lengthy procedure manuals and contracts, much to complex for the average person. To complete the purchase of your desired franchise you will need to employ the services of a qualified solicitor that has experience with franchise contracts.

4. Ongoing Royalty Fees

   This is the fee that most people seem to forget. When you purchase a franchise, you are really purchasing a license to use a companies brand and systems. This requires the payment of a recurring fee to be added to your franchise cost list, being made payable to the franchiser for the continual use of their systems.

5. Running Capital

   The most forgotten franchise cost when people do their analysis is running capital. While you do not have to pay this out to anyone all at once, having a cash reserve is important as it provides cash flow as your business is still getting off the ground. This figure will be determined based on your own personal needs.

In purchasing a franchise, you are buying a proven business model and you will pay a premium. However, this does not mean that you shouldn’t purchase a franchise. Now that you know the franchise costs, you are well equipped to complete the required analysis on any franchises that you are interested in.
