About Franchise Business Review
As the leading market research firm in the franchise sector, specializing in franchisee satisfaction and employee engagement, we are here to provide unbiased data to enable franchisor growth and improvement

OUR STORY
At Franchise Business Review, we’re all about making your franchising journey as delightful and successful as possible. Since our founding in 2005 by Eric Stites, we’ve been dedicated to providing top-notch market research focused on franchisee satisfaction and employee engagement. Our mission is to empower both franchise companies and prospective franchisees with the insights they need to thrive.
Back in 2005, Eric noticed that prospective franchise buyers were eager for data to guide their decisions. He realized that third-party research on current franchise owners’ satisfaction could illuminate the best opportunities for success and help outstanding franchises grow. Teaming up with Michelle Rowan, Franchise Business Review was born to enhance franchise systems and share valuable experiences with future franchisees.
