With more than 1,000 franchise opportunities already out there, it takes guts for a new company to throw its hat into the ring. But many do each year. Here, you'll find 158 businesses that started franchising in the past three years, believing they have something special to offer aspiring entrepreneurs.

Inclusion in this listing is not intended as an endorsement or recommendation by Entrepreneur. When considering any franchise business, new or old, do your own research. Read the company's legal documents, consult with an attorney and an accountant, and talk to experienced franchisees to find out whether the opportunity is right for you.
