At its core, franchising is about risk reduction. Entrepreneurs choose to join a franchise because it provides a heightened chance of success as a business owner. The Top 100 has been designed, with the assistance of The Educated Franchisee, to measure the quality of a franchise system over time. Rankings are mostly based on a formula created from various pieces of the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) that focus on:

· Financial Stability
· Growth
· Transparency
· Engagement
· Continuity
· Sustainability
A Unique Franchise Rankings List
We also focused on evaluating franchise opportunities that fit the mold of what a typical Franchise Gator visitor seeks. That meant taking investment range and industry into account to create what we feel is truly a unique rankings list. So if you are looking for some of the more high-ticket, recognizable names in franchising and don't see them, that by no means is a discredit to that franchise system. It simply means they were not part of our evaluation process.
Each year hundreds of FDDs are studied, but only the best make the list. Honest Abe Roofing is honored to receive this prestigious designation. We are confident anyone looking to invest in a roofing franchise system will discover that Honest Abe Roofing is the industry leader and the best franchise opportunity to invest in.
