Methodology

Rankings are calculated from verified Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) data. Scores are based on a weighted composite of transparency, system health, earnings disclosure, legal record, and franchise maturity. No franchise can pay for a higher ranking. Data is sourced from state franchise registry filings. See our Disclaimer for more information.

This website is for informational purposes only. It is not an offer to sell or buy a franchise.
