What are the requirements to be listed in the Franchise 500® issue?

To have your franchise listed in the annual Franchise 500 magazine issue, you must meet the following requirements:

1. Online questionnaire — must be completed and electronically signed.
2. Current Franchise Disclosure Document — must be uploaded.
   Note: We will not accept Franchise Disclosure Documents dated/amended before August 1 of the previous year.
3. List of all open and operating units — as of July 31st.
   Note: Please keep franchise and company-owned unit numbers separate from each other.
   Note 2: If you are taking advantage of our early submission process, we will request your list of units after July 31st.
4. Audited financials — must be the most recent available.
   Note: Audited financials are recommended but not required if your company has been franchising for less than three years or has fewer than ten units.
