The estimated investment required to open a McDonald's franchise is between **$1,314,500-$2,306,500**. There is an initial franchise fee of **$45,000** which grants you the license to run a business under the McDonald's name. Franchisees are required to pay **40% of the startup costs with cash and other non-borrowed resources**, while the rest can be financed.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
