Ohio buyers can evaluate 11 technology franchise systems with FDDs on file, at a median initial investment of $94K–$147K and a typical franchise fee near $40K. Across the 4 brands that disclose unit revenue in Item 19, median annual revenue per location runs $805K — but 82% of the full set disclose Item 19 at all, so earnings claims still have to be verified brand by brand. 6 of them can be started for under $100K.

Ohio buyer notes for technology franchises
Technology franchise systems with initial investment under $100K.
Compare technology against the other franchise categories available to Ohio buyers.
The same technology systems are available to buyers nationwide — see state-specific investment, Item 19, and regulatory context:
Across the 11 technology franchise systems in our database, median initial investment runs $94K–$147K, with a typical upfront franchise fee near $40K. 6 can be started for under $100K. Each FDD's Item 7 provides the exact investment range for that brand.
82% of the technology franchises in our Ohio dataset disclose Item 19 financial performance representations. Among the 4 that report unit revenue, the median is $805K per location per year. The remainder rely on Item 1 (business background) and Item 7 (initial investment) without making earnings claims. Brands disclosing Item 19 give you the strongest basis for projecting unit-level revenue.
Three major metros (Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati) support diversified multi-unit territory development. Columbus is one of the fastest-growing Midwest metros and a frequent franchise test market.
Ohio does not require state-level franchise registration, so no separate state-level verification is needed. The federal FTC Rule still requires the franchisor to provide the FDD at least 14 days before you sign or pay anything.
