Get StartedLet’s start with some important numbers. All of our potential franchise owners are required to have a total net worth of at least $1 million and at least $500,000 in liquid assets. If the owner is going to be an entity, each individual applicant is then responsible for an additional fee.

Your initial franchise fee is $50,000, due in a lump sum when you sign your franchise agreement. While the total amount depends on the format you choose for your restaurant, you can expect that to include materials, equipment, certifications, professional fees, and other expenses associated with opening a business.
Throughout the life of your business, you’ll incur additional restaurant franchise fees that allow Burger King® to give you the support you need to run a thriving business. In general, you can expect to pay these on a monthly or annual basis*.
