This ranking is not intended to endorse any particular franchise, but rather to provide a starting point for your research. You must also conduct your own due diligence, which consists of thoroughly reading a company's literature and its Uniform Franchise Offering Circular, calling and visiting existing franchisees, and consulting with an attorney and an accountant. You should only buy a franchise after taking the time to conduct a careful investigation.
