What Is ROI
Return on investment, commonly known as ROI, is a popular profitability metric. It is used by investors to evaluate how an investment has performed. The investments can be into real estate, stocks or a business.
ROI can be calculated using different formulas and presented as a percentage. It also helps in comparing and ranking different investments in an individual or different projects. However, there are some limitations and challenges of ROI as well.

Investors choose a company or a project with a good return on investment. Because high ROI implies that a company or a project is successful in using the investment money and generating high returns. In case you have shortlisted a few profitable franchisees, you can compare their ROIs and choose one with a higher ROI. There is a simple rule to interpret ROI in any business, the higher the ROI, the better it is performing.
Note: ROI should not be the sole criterion to choose a franchise business over other. This is just one of the many parameters you should look at while joining a franchise.
For instance, if you are satisfied with other aspects of a business like its brand value, quality of services, etc. but it has a negative ROI, it may not be a good option for short-term investment.
What is negative ROI
In layman’s terms, ROI is the sum you are earning on an investment. So, negative ROI implies the investment has failed or the project has lost money. It happens when a business incurs financial loss during a specific period of time. The term “negative return” can either be a net loss on all businesses or investments or a loss on an individual investment.
For example, if you have invested ₹10,000 in a business and a year later it generates ₹5,000. In this case, your investment had a negative return.

How To Calculate ROI For A Franchise Business
There are multiple formulas/methods for calculating ROI of a franchise business. Here, we will use:
(Benefits – Cost) / Initial Investment × 100
Get the best franchise opportunity – 80% Annual ROI.
To calculate ROI with utmost accuracy, you must know the total costs and total returns in a franchise business. Hence, make sure you have a complete list of everything in which money has been invested to run a business as well as all the returns. All of this information can be found in business spreadsheets, accounting journals or accounting software. Meanwhile, let’s see the common things you will need to check:
- Investment to start the business: It is basically capital expenditure made on fixed assets such as land, building, equipment, etc.
- Returns from the business: Revenue acquired during a specific period of time.
- Expenses to run the business: All the expenses or costs incurred to run the business may include money spent on purchasing inventory (raw materials), hiring staff, training staff, paying salaries, paying bills (electricity, water, Wi-Fi), business software, etc.
You can gain an even better understanding with the help of an example.
Suppose you invested ₹10,000 in machinery, ₹4,000 in branding ₹10,000 in the construction of a store. Your total initial investment is ₹10,000 + ₹4000+ ₹10,000 = ₹24,000.
The expenses or costs that you have incurred within a year of running the business include ₹10,000 for salaries, ₹10,000 for rent, ₹10,000 for marketing and promotion and ₹3,000 for taxes. The total expenses or costs sum up to ₹33,000. At last, the revenue you generated in the 1st year is ₹52,000.
In this case, you can calculate ROI as follows:
(Benefits – Cost)/ Initial Investment × 100
(52,000-33,000)/24,000 × 100 = 79.1%
In this example, the ROI is 79.1%
