There are many franchise costs involved with buying a franchise and it can be confusing.  

There is a price range to consider when buying a franchise.  For example, a McDonald’s franchise investment can cost between $1.1M to $2.2M (Entrepreneur Franchise 500, 2019). This investment range is provided in a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which by law every franchise business must disclose to the public.
