Opening a franchise in Romania requires an investment ranging from a few thousand to over 300,000 euros, depending on the business type. Entrepreneurs must consider additional costs such as space setup, equipment, and operational expenses, with recovery of the investment taking between 2.5 to 4 years. The initial franchise fee does not cover all expenses, and ongoing costs include royalties and marketing contributions. Popular sectors for franchises include food retail and HoReCa, with varying investment levels. Entrepreneurs should maintain a financial reserve for operational costs during the initial months and carefully evaluate the franchise agreement before signing.
