top global franchise businesses 2022

My strategic partner, Franchise Direct, has just released their Top Global Franchise Businesses List for 2022. And the best part?

The team at Franchise Direct has been producing the Top Global Franchises list since 2009. So they know what they’re doing.

But how does Franchise Direct determine the top franchise businesses in the world? 

Top Global Franchise Businesses 2022: The Criteria

From The Franchise Direct website:

The Top 100 Global Franchises share the keys to business success at any level including: a well-defined business identity, a clear business plan, a commitment to training and support, and the ability to innovate to keep pace with ever-changing social and economic conditions.”

And…

Using a methodology that goes beyond financial performance and system size, the Top 100 ranking is compiled by taking into account a host of criteria, giving each criterion a weighted value.”

That said, should you base your franchise buying decision on a top franchise list like the one I’m about to share with you?

You should always base your choice in a franchise to own on several things…which may or may not include the franchise concept’s inclusion in a “list.”
