One
of the most important parts of buying a franchise is doing your
homework. The 2012 Guide to Today’s Top Franchises takes a close
look at the top brands in all of franchising based on an annual
survey of franchisees, and includes more than 150 companies. The
report explores what concepts and franchise models are most popular
in 2012, what’s involved from an investment and financing
standpoint, what skills and attributes contribute to a franchisee’s
success, and how franchisee satisfaction has fared in the past
year. The report also forecasts where franchising is going and
identifies the top franchises based on extensive franchisee
satisfaction research.
