Franchise Fee

How Much is the Franchise Fee?

The franchise fee is $10,000 for a market serving a population of up to 1 million people.  Franchise fees are higher for larger markets. Franchises can serve markets with populations of 250 thousand to 2 million people. We will work with you to determine the best size market for your geographic area and budget. What's important is that the market served by the website is considered "local" to the people who live there, and that the market isn't too small or too large to be manageable and to be attractive to potential advertisers.

Qualified candidates may be eligible for a small business loan from the SBA. Fun 4 US Kids is eligible for SBA financial assistance. Click HERE to learn more.
