Franchising
1. Can you still get a McDonald's franchise (in the United States) and how much does it cost?
2. How can I become a non U.S. McDonald's franchisee?
Yes, McDonald’s continually seeks qualified individuals to become franchisees. Since the total cost varies from restaurant to restaurant, the minimum amount for a down payment will vary. Generally, we require a minimum of $300,000 of non-borrowed personal resources to consider you for a franchise. For more information about purchasing and financing a McDonald’s Franchise, please see the Franchising Home Page.

McDonald’s franchises restaurants in many international markets, and decisions relating to the selection of candidates are made locally by the management in the country where the restaurant is located. For interest in specific markets regarding international franchising, please see the list of contacts and franchising information on the International Section of the Franchising page of this web site. Links to individual market web sites are provided where available.
