Forbes.com, with Robert Bond’s help, stacked up 400 operators that require less than $100,000 to open a new location, have been in business for at least five years and are opening new units now. Then they plucked the top 20 by applying a weighted formula based on comparable metrics. If you’re thinking about being your own boss-and buying a franchise to do so, check out the list below. It’s a good place to start-but not end your search.
