Do you want to buy a franchise outside the United States? You are lucky because franchising is increasingly a global affair. Consider this statistics: every year we rank the top 500 franchises in our franchise 500 list – and this year almost 45% of those brands outside the US were!
That does not mean that the global expansion is simple. It comes with many challenges – from adjusting products, services and marketing to different locations and cultures to dealing with different laws and regulations to overcoming language barriers. But more and more franchisors see value in it, which is why we recognize the strongest worldwide brands in this annual ranking.

To put together this list, we start with our franchise 500 formula, which assesses franchise options and scores on the basis of more than 150 data points in the field of costs and costs, size and growth, support for franchisees, brand strength and financial strength and stability. We adjust this formula to give extra weight to system size and growth outside the US, and the resulting top scores become our 200 best global franchises.
This list can offer a great place to start your search if you are interested in buying a franchise outside the US, or if you just want to do business with a worldwide brand. But it is not intended as a recommendation of a certain company. You must always do your own thorough research before you invest in a franchise chance, to find out if it is suitable for you and your corner of the world. So make sure that you read the legal documents of the company, consultation with a lawyer and an accountant and talk to current and former franchisees.
