In 2012, we asked over 2,000 existing franchisees to rate their franchise ownership experiences. We asked them questions about the training and support provided by their franchisor, how effective the franchise system was and how the financial and non-financial rewards compared to their expectations.

We then recognised the top performing franchisors in The Best Franchise Awards, which are sponsored by Lloyds TSB and supported by Franchise World.
