Bond's Top 100 Franchises, 2017
"Bond's Top 100 Franchises, 2017" is an effort to pick the "best" franchises from among the 3,500+ franchises available.
While picking the Top 100 or Best 100 of anything is very subjective in the final determination, every effort has been made to ensure that all of the critical variables have been properly assessed. The final selection is based on a number of factors, including historical performance, competitive advantage, franchisee satisfaction, financial stability, etc. This book is an extension of other books on franchising published by Source Book Publications ("Bond's Franchise Guide," "How Much Can I Make?," "Tips and Traps When Buying a Franchise," and "Bond's Hottest New Franchises").
