Franchisor Profile on www.worldfranchising.com
The Franchise Directory on www.worldfranchising.com lists detailed profiles on more than 1,000 North-American franchisors. The profiles are sorted by five search criteria — name, industry type, total investment, franchising fee and total units — for easy comparison. The site is unquestionably the most exhaustive and up-to-date source of information on active franchisors.

Each participating franchisor submits a 41-point questionnaire that details their company’s background, capital requirements, level of training and assistance, franchisee evaluation criteria, areas of geographic expansion and much more.

The inclusion of each company’s 4-color logo and a hot link to its homepage provides immediate recognition of its name and logo and allows visitors to access its franchise system quickly and easily.

Franchise Profile in Bond's Franchise Guide
In addition to the prominent Web space that franchisors will receive on www.worldfranchising.com, each franchisor profile will also be published in the all-new 2006 (17th) Edition of Bond’s Franchise Guide.

Bond's Franchise Guide provides detailed profiles of over 1,000 North American franchisors, as well as leading franchise attorneys, consultants and service providers. The Guide, considered by many as the “bible of the franchising industry,” is the only franchise directory marketed in the book section, rather than the magazine and periodical section, of major bookstores.

We anticipate 10,000 - 12,000 copies of The Guide will be sold through bookstore and library sales, franchise shows, online bookstores, outplacement firms and direct mail.
