The Franchise King®

Around this time every year, Franchise Direct publishes its very own Top 100 Global Franchise rankings. It’s a huge undertaking, so please show your appreciation to the team at Franchise Direct-both here in the US, and across the pond in the UK, by checking out their comprehensive report.

I’ve pointed out their franchise reports in the past, and it’s once again my pleasure do so now.

But first, I want to make sure you know about the eligibility requirements for these 100 franchises;

Franchises must operate businesses in two or more countries. The exact rankings are compiled by collating a range of data, including information self-reported by franchises, FDD documents, SEC filings, published industry sources, on top of other information pertaining to the financial state of the franchise.

Are you ready to see what the Top 100 Franchises are?
