Growth is what franchising is all about-- both at home and abroad. While Entrepreneur’s main Fastest-Growing Franchises list identifies the brands with the greatest unit growth in North America, this special list identifies those that are expanding the fastest outside of the U.S. and Canada.
This ranking is based on the net total new international franchise units added from July 2023 to July 2024, as verified by Entrepreneur magazine, with ties broken based on percentage growth.
This ranking is not intended to endorse any particular franchise, but rather to provide a starting point for your research. Due diligence includes thoroughly reading a company's literature and its Franchise Disclosure Document, calling and visiting existing franchisees, and consulting with an attorney and an accountant. Here's where slowing down makes sense: You should only buy a fast-growing franchise after you've taken the time to conduct a careful investigation.
