## Story

“We are proud to again be recognized as the best franchise to buy for less than $100,000,” said Mike Shim, senior vice president of field operations for Kumon North America.

Entrepreneur’s low-cost ranking is based on startup costs as well as inclusion in the magazine’s prestigious Franchise 500®, which reflects outstanding performance in areas such as costs and fees, size and growth, support, brand strength and financial strength and stability. Kumon has been ranked No. 1 in the education category for 23 consecutive years and in the Top 10 overall for four consecutive years.

Entrepreneur annually ranks three sets of low-cost franchises: those that cost less than $50,000, those that cost less than $100,000 and those that cost less than $150,000. Details on Entrepreneur’s Top Franchises for Less Than $100,000 are available online. The rankings are featured in the spring issue of Entrepreneur’s Startups publication.
