Answer: There are many ways
(or metrics) that can be used to measure the success of a
franchise business system. From my experience as a
franchises consultant the most
successful franchises all share some common characteristics
that set them apart from their peers. In my opinion
Entrepreneur's yearly
Franchise 500® list provides a very
good and overall ranking of some of the most successful
franchises in today's market. According to their web site some
of the most important metrics they use to establish the
ranking order of their list of
top franchises include
financial strength and stability, growth rate, and the size
of the franchise system. They also consider how long the
franchiser has been franchising, start-up costs, litigation
issues, and whether the franchise provides in house
financing.
