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.
