The recent Franchise Business Report reveals that owning more than one franchise leaves investors with greater satisfaction compared to a single franchise. Today, franchise brokering is nearly as popular as stock brokering due to the huge gains posted by the franchise opportunity to investors.
The research conducted by Franchise Business Review utilizes satisfaction ratings of over 6,600 franchisees who own more than one franchise unit from over 300 companies which are open for franchising. The report is conducted to name the best brands for multi franchise unit ownership.
To gather data for the report, all active franchisees of North American franchise companies were invited to a free satisfaction survey. Franchisees ranked their franchise based on these areas: core values, franchisee community, financial opportunity, general satisfaction, leadership, operations, product development and training and support. Information from franchisees owning 3 units or more were utilized to complete the report and determine the top multi-ownership franchise brands.
Franchise Business Review’s president, Michelle Rowan, stated that it is not surprising for multiple-unit franchisees to have greater satisfaction since owning more than one unit is more profitable and profitability can have a huge effect on satisfaction. He continued that the surprising data was that multi-unit franchise owners gave a higher ranking for their system in every question in all categories.
