Franchises Headquartered in Colorado

Colorado-based franchisors span a notably broad mix of industries rather than clustering in just one lane. Among the 15 brands here, the mix leans toward business services and home services, with additional representation in beauty and personal care, real estate, health and wellness, and fitness. That variety matters if you're comparing not just brand names, but the kind of day-to-day business you want to operate.

The cost spread is wide. Startup investment disclosures run from $38,575 to $2,093,000, with a median startup investment of $221,458. In practical terms, that means Colorado headquarters show up in both lower-cost service concepts and much larger brick-and-mortar formats. Sola Franchise, LLC sits at the high end of the featured group at $1,181,960 to $1,939,349, while brands such as REMAX, Motto Franchising, LLC, and Miracle Method come in at much lower disclosed entry points.

Recurring fees also vary, though the middle of the group is fairly steady. The median royalty is 6.0% and the median marketing fee is 2.0%. Featured examples reflect that range: Miracle Method lists a 5.5% royalty and 2.0% marketing fee, Elements Massage - Standard lists 6.0% and 2.0%, and Sola Franchise, LLC lists 5.5% and 1.5%. Outlet counts range from emerging to very established, with a median of 93 units, while some featured brands are already operating at much larger scale, including Sola Franchise, LLC at 729 outlets and REMAX at 475.

A practical comparison often comes down to format and operating style. Some Colorado-headquartered brands are consumer-facing service businesses with physical locations, such as beauty and wellness concepts, while others are more office-based or property-related models. Because the grouping is based on disclosed principal business addresses in Colorado, the common thread is headquarters location rather than a single operating model.
