Expressed opinions Entrepreneur Contributors are their own.
There are thousands of franchise ideas on the market today, covering hundreds of industries and businesses. For every aspiring entrepreneur, it is a sure bet that there is a business model for every owner – and finding the perfect match is the goal of the investigation process. Each year, approximately 300 or more brands officially enter the franchising arena, hoping to use this strategy to expand their reach. We often refer to this new entity as an “emerging” brand that has been in business for less than five years. Nevertheless, a small percentage of these startup franchises have managed to earn a place on our prestigious franchise 500 list.
