BoeFly Franchise Growth Confidence Index Shows Positive Shift in Franchisor Sentiment

NEW YORK, March 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- BoeFly, the leading financial technology company specializing in fueling franchisor growth, has unveiled its latest findings in the quarterly Franchise Growth Confidence Index. This is the fourth survey conducted by BoeFly and designed to gauge franchisor executives' confidence in achieving brand goals in the face of current economic conditions. 

The latest survey data reveals a notable uptick in overall confidence levels among respondents, with 66.7 percent of franchisor executives expressing confidence in meeting growth goals for the year, up from 50 percent in the previous quarter. Despite this, interest rates remain a persistent concern, affecting confidence levels for 83.3 percent of respondents. Additionally, 75 percent cited inflation as a significant impediment to growth, with 87.5 percent agreeing that it has led to increased cost estimates in Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDDs).

"Despite ongoing economic challenges, the notable increase in overall confidence levels underscores the resilience and adaptability of the franchise community," said Mike Rozman, CEO and co-founder of BoeFly. "By leveraging these insights, our hope is that industry stakeholders can make informed decisions to drive sustainable growth within their respective brands and prosperity for the franchising sector as a whole."

BoeFly's latest iteration of the Franchise Growth Confidence Index was conducted from February 12-25, 2024, and reached nearly 700 CEOs, CFOs, and CDOs from a diverse range of franchised brands spanning automotive, education, fitness, health/beauty, home services, restaurant, and retail sectors. Through detailed analysis of survey responses, BoeFly aims to provide valuable insights into the state of franchise growth in the United States.
