We're working to compile our Top List of franchises to buy in 2018.
Where will you rank? Submit your opportunity today!

In our research, we've found that prospective franchisees value lists to help them research. However, many of the franchises that rank high in the most popular lists either have limited availability or require a large investment. That's why we've created a list of opportunities with strong growth potential that are more affordable investments to cater to the average franchise buyer.

Your franchise does NOT have to be a Franchise Gator customer to participate!

If you would like your brand to be considered for the 2018 TOP LIST, please complete this survey and email your most recent FDD to top100@franchisegator.com


Making the Top List will include...
  • Exposure on FranchiseGator.com, including our homepage
  • Press release, article and blog coverage
  • Top List links
  • Special placement on FranchiseGator.com
  • Top 100 seal logo for use on your Gator profile and franchise website
  • And more! REGARDLESS of whether you currently advertise with Gator

Please extract info directly from your FDD where noted. Franchise Gator will never use this information in a negative light. Items such as number of litigation actions, etc. will not be made public.

If there is any concern about sharing the information we seek, or if you have any other questions, please call or email Eric Bell at 678-748-3022 or top100@franchisegator.com
Deadline to submit is August 31, 2017.
