This ranking recognizes the leading brands expanding their footprint in international markets through franchising. Among the 200 companies highlighted, Freedom Boat Club placed in the top 50 percent, reflecting a year marked by significant international expansion in premier boating destinations.

The Top Global Franchises ranking is based on information submitted to Entrepreneur for its annual Franchise 500® and is part of the brand’s continuing effort to best understand and evaluate the ever-changing franchise marketplace.
