Entrepreneur's ranking of top global franchises features North American franchisors that are seeking franchisees outside the U.S.

The top global franchises are listed according to how they ranked in Entrepreneur's 2012 Franchise 500®, which is based on objective criteria such as size, growth and financial strength and stability. This list is not intended as a recommendation of any particular company.
