Every year the topfranchise Awards recognise best practice within the franchising sector across six categories; marketing, branding, passion, support, lifestyle and expansion. Entering all six categories is required to compete for the overall award.
The Top 10 Awards recognise franchises that perform well in the selected category as rated by current franchisees so you can find the best franchises for sale in Australia.
There are six different award categories to enter with one overall category. Franchises enter into one or more categories by having their franchisees surveyed on the topic. Each category specific question is weighted according to its importance to franchisees. Weightings are determined by sophisticated (multivariate) market research techniques. The Awards are then presented to potential franchises to help them make a more informed choice about the franchise which will suit their needs.
