The only way is to choose a franchise with minimal investment. Franchising is not something where you set the price -- the franchisor sets the price and the fees involved. Your only option is to select one that requires lower investment. \n\nNote, however, that you cannot really start a franchise with only $500. It is not something you can start on a shoestring budget. If you decide to go the franchising route, you need to have some money upfront\n\nIf you are thinking of opening a Subway franchise, for example, you need to have anywhere from $70K-220K as the franchise fee alone is about $12.5 -- that is not my definition of minimal  http://www.entrepreneur.com/franzone/details/1,5885,12-12---282839-1,00.html?section=costs\n\nYou may want to consider some of the lower cost franchise. Entrepreneur Magazine has a list of low cost franchises as follows:\nhttp://www.entrepreneur.com/franzone/listings/lowinvest/0,5839,,00.html\n\nCurves = total investment: $38.4K-53.5K; Franchise fee: $31.9K-39.9K\nJackson Hewitt Tax Service - Total investment: $49.8K-94K)\nJani-King = Total investment: $11.3K-34.1K+\nRE/MAX Int'l. Inc. = Total investment: $20K-200K\nLiberty Tax Service = Total investment: $42.3K-52.4K

You'd have to either do it via written resolution or by a board meeting (either way you need to put the original in your minute book and send a copy to whoever's asking for it).\n\nI don't know anything about your company but assuming its a corporation, i would hypothetically imagine that it might look something like this:\n\n\nWHEREAS, the Board of Directors have been presented a [PROPOSAL] by which the Company would lease [PUT SOME DETAIL ON THE LEASING ARRANGEMENT] from [NAME OF RENTAL COMPANY];\n\nWHEREAS, after careful consideration, the Board of Directors have agreed that entering into such a leasing arrangement with [NAME OF RENTAL COMPANY] for [DETAILS ON LEASING];  \n\nNOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the officers of the Company are hereby authorized and instructed to enter into the [NAME OF LEASING CONTRACT] by and between the Company and [NAME OF RENTAL COMPANY] and execute and deliver such document and such other agreements, forms and filings as may be required to lease the aforementioned vehicles on substantially the same terms as set forth in [THE PROPOSAL].

get tapes of your games and have someone who knows what they're doing edit them (your school or a local Jr college or high school's av department would probably help you out) send copies to all of the teams scouting heads all of the info is available online.  \nAlso if you're playing on a team currently have the coach call in favors for you.  If that doesn't work get over to open calls for Arena league teams.  You don't need an invite for those and all of the coaches have NFL experience, you'll get noticed.

There are a series of exams that you would have to pass to become licensed in the US.  Brokerage houses are nearly always searching for new representatives though, and Edward Jones in particular encourages you to open and operate your own office under their name (I don't know exactly what the franchise agreement involves, but I'm sure they would be willing to discuss it with you)

Well, first you must register your trademarks in order to protect its use.\n\nThen you must develop a business model in order to attract potential clients interested in franchising your business.  You must determine certain issues like the look of the business areas, colors, materials, etc.\n\nThen the most important, you must have a competent lawyer in franchising or commercial/business law draft you a franchise contract that addresses all the issues you have determined in the model, exactly how you want your franchise to be run.\n\nAn expert consultant could also give you more detailed insight into franchising.

I assume that you're talking about joining an existing chain, rather than franchising out your own new chain, right?\n\nIf that's true, there are different requirements for each chain.  You should contact the individual companies to learn if they are selling franchises, and if so, what costs are.  There is not a standard fee for all of them.  They each set their own requirements.  However, I suspect it is quite expensive if it's anything like franchises in other businesses. \n\nBest of luck to you.
