The startup costs to open a Moldman franchise are low, especially when compared to our competitors.  First of all, we do not charge a franchise fee.  Second of all, we keep startup costs at a minimum in many ways such as by encouraging our franchisees to buy their equipment as cheaply as possible (you can even buy it used), to work from home initially (to avoid paying for a lease) and to not hire any full time employees at first to save on overhead.
