Annual franchise rankings powered by real FDD data. Every award is calculated from verified Franchise Disclosure Documents filed with state registries.
Our awards are calculated from verified Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) data filed with state registries. We analyze investment costs, royalty rates, unit growth, earnings disclosures, litigation history, training programs, territory rights, and more. No franchise can pay for a higher ranking. Premium listings receive enhanced badge placement but rankings are purely data-driven.
