The Entrepreneur’s Source® was recognized as one of the top 500 franchises in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500®, the world’s first and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Landing at an impressive #150 for its outstanding performance in areas including unit growth, financial strength and stability, operational and marketing support, and brand power, this placement marks TES’s best ranking since 2012 and reinforces its position as the leading business coaching and consulting franchise on the #1 In Category list for the fifth consecutive year.
“For 47 years, the Franchise 500 has been the gold standard for identifying franchise excellence. This year’s ranking proves that the best brands don’t just survive changing markets; they thrive in them,” says Jason Feifer, Entrepreneur magazine’s editor in chief. “These 500 companies represent some of the most reliable pathways to business ownership in America, each one vetted through our rigorous analysis of what actually drives franchisee success.”
In Entrepreneur’s continuing effort to best understand and evaluate the ever-changing franchise marketplace, the company’s 47-year-old ranking formula continues to evolve as well. Each franchise is thoroughly evaluated and given a cumulative score based on an analysis of more than 150 data points in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. The 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500® in ranking order.
Over its 47 years in existence, the Franchise 500® has become both a dominant competitive measure for franchisors and a primary research tool for prospective franchisees. The Entrepreneur’s Source’s position on the ranking is a testament to its strength as a franchise opportunity. “Being recognized in Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise 500® is an incredible honor and a powerful validation of the work our coaches and support team do every day,” said Marissa Frois, CEO of The Entrepreneur’s Source®. “This ranking reflects the strength of our brand, the resilience of our franchise model, and—most importantly—our commitment to helping individuals take control of their future by exploring self-sufficiency through franchise ownership as a viable path. We’re proud to serve as a trusted guide on the journey to entrepreneurship and are energized by the continued growth and impact of the TES community.”
