You might need to have more funds to acquire a decent franchise here in Canada.
Here is one that is in good standing : http://www.cfa.ca/FranchiseDetail.aspx?item=McDonald%27s+Restaurants+of+Canada+Limited
Also, there are more people on their wait list.
1) All the industries are on a down ward trend. So wait and watch the closures that are coming up first before you get into one. The surveys will be lopsided.
2) You surely can get a Business loan. Try BDC or your friendly Neighborhood Bank and if you have good relationship with them, then, you will come recommended.
3) There are people who RUN a business that does just surveys. They will charge you a fee. And you get what you pay for. Not too much. That is just to satisfy the lenders.
As for the list with your interest: I think they all are risky for a star. Initially, with a few, you and your family will never go hungry right from the start, if you like what you sell. (Or what you cannot sell) The others won't fly.
What is your expected rate of return? 30% Just to keep you a float?
Good Luck.
Freddie.

Hi NM,
If u r interested in a Wimpy's, I have a friend who wishes to sell his unit in Vaughn.
I can put you in touch with him.
Maybe you can sound him out on sales and other numbers. Get some inside info.
If u r interested outside the GTA area, there are subways and other franchises available for less than 125k.
NM,
When you take a Franchise Location. Please take into consideration that you have to pay Royality Fee..> Which differs from compnay to company, can be around 5- 8 % of Gross Sales. Also You have to Pay for National Marketing, Which is roughly b/w 1-2 percent.
Plus You also have to pay polling fee so that Corporate of ur Franchise should be able to capture your gross sales.
Hydro, water, telephone runs around $ 1000/Month.
Also if you are going to accept Credit cards then there is 1- 3 % charge you have to pay.
In regards to Salary and Wages.... take into Consideration you have to pay taxes as well.
Beside base rent, there may be other commited cost. as well as otehr direct cost, like repairing , Decoration, and Lot of different items.
I hope this will help....
Let me know if you have any other questions.
