Budget Blinds Is #27 In Franchise Business Review’s Top 200 Best Franchises To Buy In 2020

Every January, Franchise Business Review® (FBR) publishes their annual Franchisee Satisfaction Awards to help prospective franchise buyers in their search for the right franchise. Based solely on surveyed franchisees who currently run a business, the results cull the top 200 franchises to buy in the new year. Budget Blinds is #27 for 2020 and has been in the top 200 for fourteen years in a row.

How the top franchise opportunities are chosen

FBR’s annual Franchisee Satisfaction Awards is the only franchise ranking based on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance, surveying thousands of franchise owners in hundreds of brands. The surveys go beyond surface appearance, delving into strategic areas of the business for an in-depth evaluation, delivering unbiased facts about the overall health of a franchise system.

• Training and support
• Systems and operations
• Executive leadership
• Core values
• Franchisee community
• Self-evaluation
• Financial opportunity
• General Satisfaction

Additionally, personal questions concerning business lifestyle and overall enjoyment of owning their franchise gets to the very heart of the matter, such as:

• Do you enjoy being part of this organization?
• Do you respect the franchisor?
• Has your investment in this business been consistent with your expectations?
• Would you “do it again” knowing what you know today?
• Would you recommend this franchise to others?

Getting information “straight from the horse’s mouth” is what sets FBR apart and makes their annual valuations so important and so valuable to prospective franchise owners. They talk to those who are living the life every day – the real experts! While this information doesn’t replace the franchise investigation process and due diligence that all potential franchisees need to do, this list can help to navigate the complex franchise landscape.
