Franchise Europe - Source the best European franchise information on Europe's top franchise directory.

Methodology

Franchise Europe has identified the Top 500 biggest franchise opportunities operating across Europe. This year’s list is based on the number of units the franchise currently operates in Europe.

To arrive at this figure we referred to several European Franchise Association Web sites as well as numerous franchise directories. We verified the figure by referring to the franchise’s own Web site. A preliminary questionnaire was also sent to the franchisors.

No similar definitive list of Europe’s best franchises exists. Franchise Europe will become an indispensable resource to anyone researching franchising in Europe.

Our 2006 survey will be even more in-depth and will be based upon stability and growth variables, including: turnover, how long the franchise is in existence, the number of people employed and the number of new franchises developed over the past few years. Franchises will be encouraged to participate in order to preserve or improve their current ranking.
