Are you interested in owning a business? Do you like the idea of starting with an established brand and infrastructure behind you? Those may be hard questions, but the next one is even tougher: How do you choose from more than 2,500 franchising opportunities currently available in the United States?
StartupJournal uses straightforward, clearheaded criteria in pulling together a list of 25 franchise "high performers." One key trait: longevity of performance. Underscoring that there is no single right answer for any would-be franchisee, StartupJournal doesn't rank the top 25, choosing instead to list them alphabetically. The explanation of its sorting methodology is as useful as any of the recommendations on the list.
