According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, 90% of franchised operations are still operating after ten years, whereas 82% of independent businesses fail. This statistic solidifies the fact that aligning with a recognized leader increases the probability of success. Although only 8% of businesses are franchises, these operations represent 40% of all US sales. According to market research, consumers prefer nationally recognized names 2:1 over similar entities.
