Entrepreneur Magazine compiles its list based on companies’ financial strength and stability, growth rate, and size of the franchise system. Other considerations include the number of years in business, length of time franchising, startup costs, low employee turnover, and whether the company provided financing.
All franchisors are given the opportunity to supply pertinent information associated with their franchise offering to Entrepreneur Magazine. This data, collected from hundreds of franchisors, is placed with an independent auditor for evaluation, ensuring that no franchisor has the ability to gain an unfair advantage. When the data crunch is completed, the results are published for all potential franchise buyers to evaluate.
