Million dollar start up

I was thinking it was at least that much

They claim it's $10,000 up front...Franchise Info

I had no clue it was that cheap, I also found this: According to Chick-fil-A, 60k people apply to be operators every year — and only ~80 are selected.

Pretty sure the deal with CFA is you have to run the place yourself. So if you think you can serve ckn for 15-20 years, go for it.

Upscale daycare/tutoring. Buddy of mine had a successful insurance agency and walked away after opening a second Primrose Academy. Cash cow and only needed a nat worth of about 400k to start.

The license alone, in Texas, would be well over $1Million.

The lady that runs a Goddard School in our neighborhood is opening a second one only a few minutes away. She clearly has done well to open a second one after only being open for 6 or 7 years.

I've done the math on what we pay Primrose for two kids. Factor that over all the classrooms, their expenses can't even compare to they cash they must be taking in.

Rehab furniture.

It's 10K upfront - you don't own the store, CFA does - you just run it. Very few operators have multiple stores - I know of one here in Dallas that does (or did). They are (or at least were) extremely selective and place very high demands on the operators - not sure if the juice is worth the squeeze. I also played baseball with the guys son who ran the Rockwall CFA - not sure if he's still got it or has retired now.

Just double checked - 15% royalty, 50% of profits....again - you don't own the store - you're just an operator - no equity - no buy-outs - nada. You're paying 10G to run a store. They expect a considerable investment in time working and community engagement. All for less than $200K? Pass. Much better business ventures out there.

Up in Frisco when they build new neighbor hoods next thing you see is a daycare building being built in the area, so must me lots of money in those, you see alot of woman nail places as well

Thanks for the input. There are some good ideas here (and some bad ones too LOL). A few of these had crossed my mind and some are new but worth checking into.

Good money in tutoring. Kids are tutored by local teachers and graduate students that you pay, but daddy pays a lot more to you.

Tire shop. I've never seen one that wasn't busy!

I do a lot of rehabs for flippers. A lot of times we go in a look at them to get a rough estimate on cost so that the flipper can make a wise decision. You're right some just buy not knowing they are overpaying first of all and what the real cost is going to be to rehab it. Some wholesalers are fairly honest when it comes to rehab costs but most underestimate them and either the investor doesn't make as much money or they break even or even worse they lose money. Flipping is not for the faint of heart and if you're new you need help before jumping in the first or second time.

Honestly right now in dfw it is very hard to find the right deal to flip a house. Even the wholesalers are asking way too much for the properties vs the ARV. No room for much profit if any on most deals. You just have to be careful

Cybersecurity. Not my field of expertise, but I know enough to get the ball rolling.

I have been pondering something similar for several years.... my wife keeps finding ways to spend my saved money though. Im always looking into multifamily and retail rental, but building is big $$$.

For the time being I think im just going to finally get it out of a money market and get it into something more profitable. I feel foolish that I have let it sit in the money market as long as I have.

If I had the bucks and the law would allow it, I'd be all in for a bordello attached to a casino. Just saying......
