Midas Mufflers' operators include two former rabbis and a retired sea captain, while Chicken Delight restaurants have been opened by a bank teller, a beautician and a schoolteacher. Such entrepreneurs put up $6,000 on the average, but the price can vary widely. For $2,500, a would-be businessman can now open a shop selling foot-long meatballs at 90?. Car-matic auto-washing stations go for $14,800, while Lapin...
