This was just the result of a quick Google search so perhaps the numbers aren't accurate, but this website suggests that you need a net worth of 1.5 million to open a Taco Bell franchise.

I think that would be out of reach for many if not most Taco Bell managers. Presumably it would be even harder in parts of the United States with higher costs of living.

The vast majority of America cannot get 1.5 million dollars in funding to start a Taco Bell franchise. In fact, very few people would be able to get a 1.5 million dollar loan to start a Taco Bell franchise.

VC is not the norm. It is very much the exception.
