How we rank insurance franchises

"Best" lists in franchising are usually opaque. Ours is not. Each brand receives a composite score on a 0–1 scale, then displayed as 0–100 above. Two inputs drive the score:

  • System maturity (70% weight): The brand's verified unit count divided by the largest unit count in the industry. More units means more validated supply chain, more royalty data, more transferable real estate playbooks, and more peer franchisees to learn from.
  • Investment accessibility (30% weight): The lowest starting investment in the industry divided by the brand's starting investment. Lower-investment brands open the candidate pool to more qualified franchisee buyers and reduce single-unit risk concentration.

We deliberately do not weight royalty percentage, brand recognition, or marketing-fund size — those vary by territory and franchisee operating model. Brands cannot pay for ranking position; placement is determined entirely by the formula above.

A high ranking is a starting point, not a recommendation. Always validate Item 19 financial-performance representations, talk to existing franchisees, and have a qualified franchise attorney review the FDD before committing capital. Brands that score well here may still be a poor fit for a specific market, candidate background, or capitalization plan.
