Lowest entry on this list: Computer Troubleshooters Australia from $31,500 all-in. Investment figures are each system's published all-in establishment cost. Rankings are directory listings, not endorsements, always verify fees against the disclosure document. Systems that don’t publish a cost, whose lowest figure is under a tenth of their highest (usually a deposit rather than the cost to open), or whose all-in runs well past this budget, are left out.
