About the Top Global Franchises

If there were an international language of business, chances are, it would be franchising. Customers worldwide have proven franchising has a rare universal appeal. And U.S. franchisors are more than happy to supply global entrepreneurs with the opportunity to get in on this phenomenon.

Interested in buying a U.S. franchise? We've compiled this ranking of America's top 200 franchisors seeking international franchisees to assist you in your research. The ranking is based on information from Entrepreneur's Franchise 500^® , the world's most comprehensive ranking of franchise companies.

This ranking is not intended to endorse, recommend or promote any particular franchise. Rather, it's a research tool you can use to compare franchises. It's imperative that you conduct an in-depth investigation—including consulting an attorney and an accountant, reading all literature and disclosure documents provided by the franchisor, and visiting existing franchise locations to speak with current franchisees—before you invest any money.
