Want to buy a franchise outside the United States? In your fate, because franchising is a global issue. Consider this figure: Every year, we rank the top 500 franchises in our franchise list – and this year, 45 % of these brands were out of the United States!
This is not to say that global expansion is easy. It comes with many challenges – from products, services and marketing to different places and cultures, until dealing with different rules and regulations, to overcome language barriers. But more and more franchises look at it, which is why we recognize the strongest global brands in this annual rating.

To compile this list, we start with our franchise 500 ranking formulas, which estimates and scores more than 150 data points based on costs and fees, size and growth, franchise support, brand power, and financial strength and stability. We adjust the formula to give the system size and growth out of the United States, and as a result the top scorer companies have become our 200 top global franchises.
If you are interested in buying a franchise outside the United States, or if you just want to go to business with a global -minded brand, this list can offer a great place to start your search. But it is not intended to be a recommendation of a particular company. Before you invest in any franchise, you should always do your thorough research, to find out if it is right for you and the corner of the world. So make sure you read the company’s legal documents, consult a lawyer and accountant, and talk to current and former franchises.
