Best In Class Franchises - Service-Based Franchises is an effort to pick the "best" franchises from among over 2,000 service-based franchise systems. While picking the "best" of anything is subjective in the final determination, every effort has been made to employ rigorous metrics whenever possible. All of the critical variables have been properly assessed. The final selection is based on a number of factors, including historical growth (annual and compound), franchisee "continuity" rates, turnover rates, competitive advantage, franchisee satisfaction, financial stability, etc. This book is an extension of other books on franchising published by Source Book Publications (Bond's Top 100 Franchises, Bond's Franchise Guide, How Much Can I Make?, Tips and Traps When Buying a Franchise, and Bond's Hottest New Franchises).

Now in its 20th annual edition, Bond's Franchise Guide contains everything the prospective investor needs to choose exactly the right franchise. In addition to the detailed profiles of each company, the book contains supplemental profiles on franchise attorneys and consultants. The companies are divided into 45 distinct business categories for easy comparison. As with every edition, this one is completely updated, and the book's 250 illustrations, charts, tables, and worksheets make it a resource the reader will return to again and again.

Anyone starting or investing in a business needs a realistic idea of how much they can expect to make. Now in its eighth edition, this indispensable guide enables prospective franchisees to establish a solid basis on which to make these critical financial projections. It contains historical sales, expense, and/or profit data for actual franchise operations, from the McDonald's and Burger Kings of the world to newer, smaller franchises with only a few operating units. Over 105 earnings claim statements, prepared by the franchisors themselves, are included for 45 major industry categories. Since franchisors are not allowed to make, or even discuss, any financial projections other than those published in their uniform franchise offering circulars, this hard-to-find data is especially useful to the individual investor. Also included are comprehensive, up-to-date company profiles, detailed worksheets, and the author's insights into making meaningful financial projections.
