Maybe you've already read about it in the media, heard about others capitalizing on it or watched it happen firsthand--but will this finally be the year you get in on the franchising boom yourself? If so, you're in the right place. Entrepreneur's Franchise 500[R] is the world's first, best and most comprehensive listing of franchises--or, as we like to think of it, a great place to start on your path toward franchise success.
To help you in this important quest, we've polished and perfected our ranking procedure over the past 26 years to come up with a top-secret formula for identifying the top franchise opportunities on the market. This year alone, we've spent countless hours of research and analysis for a singular purpose: to arm you with the best, most up-to-date franchise information possible.
Only franchise companies that submitted full Uniform Franchise Offering Circulars (UFOCs) or Alberta, Canada, disdosure documents were eligible to receive a listing in the magazine. And only those companies whose information Entrepreneur verified from these disclosure documents are eligible to be ranked--giving us the top 500 franchises.
