The Top Global Franchises Could these worldwide franchises be your passport to the future?
This story appears in the July 2015 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
Becoming a household name in the U.S. is no small feat. But brands with international aspirations won't be satisfied until they are recognized around the world. Check out our list of the 200 top global franchises to find opportunities as varied as the four corners of the Earth.
Only companies seeking new franchisees outside the U.S. and with a minimum of five open international locations were considered for this ranking. To compile our list, we started with each company's 2015 Franchise 500® score—based on objective, quantifiable criteria including system size, growth and financial strength and stability—then adjusted to give extra weight to international size and growth.
This ranking is not intended as a recommendation of any particular company. No matter where you're interested in opening a franchise, it's essential to do your own thorough research first. Read the company's legal documents, consult with an attorney and an accountant and talk to experienced franchisees to find out whether the opportunity is right for you and your corner of the world.
