Independent Research Firm Identifies the Franchise Brands with the Greatest Opportunity to Perform in the Recession Based on Owner Satisfaction Data
Not only do the companies on this list have outstanding satisfaction among their owners, but we feel they have the greatest opportunity to perform in these historic times.”
— Michelle Rowan, President & COO, Franchise Business Review
Franchise Business Review provides ratings of franchise opportunities based solely on survey research that measures franchisee satisfaction and performance. Franchise Business Review publishes rankings of the top franchises in its annual Guide to Today’s Top Franchises, as well as guides throughout the year ranking the top franchises in specific sectors.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted every business owner in some way. Over the past few months, the franchise community has pulled together during this crisis to support and help protect their franchise owners - something independently owned businesses don’t have. That makes franchising uniquely positioned to survive, innovate, and recover much faster than other businesses,” said Eric Stites, CEO of Franchise Business Review. “Franchising has historically performed well in a recession, and for people seeking to own their own business, the recession-proof companies on this list hold a strong advantage to outperform their competitors in the years ahead.”
To identify the best recession-proof businesses, Franchise Business Review analyzed 18 months of data from over 28,000 franchise owners, representing 307 brands on their overall satisfaction, financial opportunity, training and support, and likelihood to recommend their brand to others, among other key factors. The franchise companies on this list represent numerous industry segments, as well as a wide range of investment levels – including a number of businesses you can start with an initial investment (cash required) under $25,000.
“We have surveyed thousands of franchise owners in our many years of research. From our perspective, franchisee satisfaction is one of the most important factors to consider before investing in any franchise opportunity,” said Michelle Rowan, president & COO of Franchise Business Review. “Not only do the companies on this list have outstanding satisfaction among their owners, but we feel they have the greatest opportunity to perform in these historic times.”
