And Entrepreneur continues to celebrate them all with what is still the world’s first, best, and most comprehensive franchise ranking.

Before They Determine The Rankings

The first step in determining the ranking is gathering the data. Starting in July 2019, they asked franchisors to fill out an online form and submit a copy of their current franchise disclosure document (FDD) or Canadian disclosure document. Entrepreneur had a record-breaking year, with 1,105 companies supplying all the required information. Submissions were vetted by their editorial team before being entered for data analysis.

To be eligible to rank, a franchisor must be seeking new franchisees in the U.S. or Canada and must have had a minimum of 10 units open and operating as of July 31, 2019, with at least one franchise located in North America. Each eligible franchisor was scored based on more than 150 data points, and those with the highest cumulative scores became the Franchise 500.
