You will find that a Snap-on franchise has a relatively low initial license fee, a low monthly fee, no advertising fee and no initial training fee. And, since you have a mobile store, you don't have all the expense most fixed-site franchises have, and you won't even have employee expenses unless you choose to expand your operation. This lower overhead makes it easier for you to invest in your business and build your equity and net worth. In addition, Snap-on’s financing affiliate Snap-on Credit offers a variety of financing programs to finance the majority of the investment with down payments as a low as $25,000 for qualified applicants.

Depending on how you pay for various parts of the business and including whether you buy or lease your mobile store, total investment can vary. Snap-on estimates:

• The total initial investment range for a Standard Snap-on Franchise is between $145,913 - $281,959.
• The out-of-pocket up-front cost is between $38,103 - $49,123, which includes Snap-on Credit’s standard down payment.
• Snap-on Credit has financing programs available that may meet your initial investment needs.

Snap-on also offers the Gateway Franchise Program that allows you to operate the business for 2 years and build up your own cash equity in the business before making the full investment described above.

• Snap-on estimates that the Gateway Franchise investment range is between $17,619 - $81,139.
• Snap-on Credit has financing programs available that may meet your initial investment needs
