FBR’s lists are unique in that the rankings are based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance surveys. This year, over 30,500 franchisees from 310 franchise companies were surveyed, benchmark questions about their franchisor that focused on such areas as leadership, training, and core values, delving into strategic areas of the business for an in-depth evaluation.

  • Training and support
  • Operations
  • Franchisor/franchisee relations
  • Experience requirements
  • Revenue potential
  • Recession resistant
  • Proven business model
  • Brand recognition
  • Potential for higher resale value

Personal questions concerning business lifestyle and overall enjoyment of owning their franchise also played a role in determining the Top 200. Here are samples from the survey:

  • I enjoy being part of this organization
  • I respect my franchisor
  • I believe my franchisor operates with a high level of honesty and integrity
  • My investment in this business has been consistent with my 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 valuable. Franchise Business Review is dedicated to helping prospective franchise buyers find the business that is the best fit. “Our mission at FBR is to give you reviews and ratings of franchise opportunities based on the actual performance and satisfaction of real franchise owners—so that you can make a confident buying decision.
