What is Current in Entrepreneurship?
Home-based and mobile franchises

Business ownership doesn’t have to be super-expensive. Sure, some franchises cost thousands–even millions–of dollars to start. But a growing number of franchisors are coming up with homebased and mobile options, as well as new technologies, to help keep costs down for franchisees. Below, you’ll find Entrepreneur ‘s Top Low-Cost Franchises, 97 businesses that can each be started for less than $50,000.
