Franchise Direct’s Top 100 Franchises report launched in the UK this year andis the first of its kind to exist in the British franchise industry.

Our report analysed some of the top franchise businesses operating in the UK today, using information from company-submitted data, published industry sources and third-partyresources. Franchises were ranked using criteria such as revenue, market expansion, growth and number of years in operation. Consideration was also given to franchises that had an environmental policy in place, offered financial assistance to their franchisees or received awards or other forms of recognition. The data was put through Franchise Direct’s ranking methodology to ensure an objective outcome.

Eazi-Apps secured a well-deserved spot in Franchise Direct’s UK Top 100. As an internet franchise with a global reach, the brand offers a very unique investment opportunity. Mobile apps are invaluable in the business world and Eazi-Apps’ powerful drag and drop platform makes it very easy for franchisees to offer mobile apps to local business customers. No IT or design experience is needed and franchisees have the option to be home-based. 

Anne-Claire Herel, leading author of the report says: “As a long-standing client of Franchise Direct, Eazi-Apps’ have achieved phenomenal growth.
