Costs? Do you have to buy your own vehicle – does the franchise provide it for you? Having to buy a vehicle and have it customised for the specific purposes of the franchise as well as the cost of the exterior design will add a lot to the minimum investment amount of the franchise opportunity.
Market? Is there a market for your service/product. Van based franchises are not all suited to city centre areas, as people are usually in close proximity to everything they need.
