Browse business opportunities with an advertised starting cost under $500. Compare what the price includes, the training and support offered, and any recurring fees before you decide.
At this level, listings commonly include affiliate programs, distributorships, membership and referral models, and online service businesses. The advertised price may cover training, a website, starter inventory, or a license to use a program. Some opportunities add monthly fees, product orders, or marketing costs that make the total higher than the starting price. Compare how much support and training each one provides, and whether you can speak with current participants before paying.
