How this list is put together
Each brand's own franchise website is read afresh every quarter, and the summaries are written from what those websites say. The running order is our editorial view, weighing brand recognition, sector demand, international reach and how clearly each brand explains its offer to prospective franchisees.
Please note: this ranking is an opinion, not a performance measure or an endorsement. It is not based on audited turnover, profitability or franchisee earnings, and no brand pays for its place. Always carry out your own due diligence, read the franchise prospectus and take independent legal and financial advice before you commit to anything.
