There are 150 listings in this section of the directory. 115 of them state a starting investment, ranging from $255 to $590,000, with a median of $100,000. Figures are franchisor-supplied and should be confirmed before you rely on them.
Health and medical franchising covers a wider range than most people expect. At one end are clinical concepts that require a licensed practitioner on site, such as physiotherapy, chiropractic, dental and optical clinics. At the other are operator-led businesses in the same sector that need no clinical credential at all, including hearing testing, medical staffing, home health equipment, non-surgical aesthetics and diagnostic lab collection. Which group a listing belongs to matters more than its investment figure, because it decides whether you can own and run it yourself or have to hire the person who can.
Canada adds a second layer, because health care delivery is regulated provincially. A clinical model that operates freely in one province may need a different ownership structure in another, and in some provinces a non-practitioner cannot hold a controlling interest in a practice at all. Any franchisor in this sector should be able to tell you exactly which provinces their model is cleared for and what the ownership rules are. If a franchise development team cannot answer that in plain terms, it is a reasonable signal to slow down.
The listings below are drawn from every category in the directory rather than one, because these businesses sit under Health, Health care, Senior Care and Business Services depending on who filed them. Verify current territory and investment with the franchisor directly before you rely on either.
Based on the 115 listings here that state a starting investment. The other 35 give no figure, or give one that cannot be read as a number.
Head office locations for the listings on this page: Ontario (7), Alberta (4), British Columbia (1), Saskatchewan (1). Head office is not the same as where territory is available, so ask the franchisor which provinces they are currently granting.
It depends entirely on the model, and this is the first question to ask any franchisor in this sector. Clinical concepts usually require either a licensed practitioner as owner or a licensed practitioner on staff, and in some provinces the ownership rules are stricter than that. Non-clinical models in the same sector, such as medical staffing, home health equipment or hearing testing, are generally open to any operator. Ask the franchisor which category their model falls into and which provinces it is cleared for.
Because the original listing data filed them that way. The same kind of business appears under Health, Health care, Senior Care or Business Services depending on who submitted it. This page pulls them back together so you can see them in one place.
Treat it as a starting point, not a quote. The figures come from franchisor-supplied listing data and some of them are years out of date or state only the low end of a range. Always confirm the current total investment, the franchise fee and what is included directly with the franchisor, and ask for the disclosure document before you commit money.
