Signarama & Fully Promoted rank on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500

Entrepreneur magazine has named five brands of United Franchise Group (UFG) to its Franchise 500 list. Placing on the 2025 list were Transworld Business Advisors, Signarama, Fully Promoted, Office Evolution, and Venture X.

In addition, Transworld Business Advisors is among the top 100 brands on the list, moving up from #80 to #51 since the 2024 list was announced. The business brokerage consulting firm was one of three UFG brands named No. 1 in their categories, with Fully Promoted topping the embroidery and screen printing group.

UFG brands achieved the following rankings:

• Transworld Business Advisors: No. 51
• Signarama: No. 174
• Fully Promoted: No. 423
• Office Evolution: No. 439
• Venture X: No. 455

All five brands returned to the list after multiple years of recognition, including Signarama for 26 consecutive years and Fully Promoted for 23 years.

According to UFG, their continued appearance on the list is a testament to the strength of the UFG family of affiliated brands and consultants, which provides members with a global network of resources and more than three decades of franchise industry expertise.

“We are proud to see our brands’ tremendous performance recognized once again with inclusion on the Franchise 500, one of the most meaningful honors in the industry,” said Ray Titus, founder and CEO of UFG. “This ranking recognizes what we’ve always known about our franchisees’ hard work, dedication, and success, but to have it validated by this highly respected publication is a true honor. To have one company on this prestigious list is great, but for UFG to have five brands on the list is amazing!”

For almost five decades, the annual Entrepreneur Franchise 500 has recognized the industry’s top achievers. It is considered an invaluable resource for potential franchisees.

“The Franchise 500 is more than a list. It’s really a collection of life-changing opportunities, featuring strong and resilient brands that future franchisees will be proud to be a part of,” says Jason Feifer, editor-in-chief of Entrepreneur magazine. “This year’s honorees represent the bold ideas, operational excellence, and adaptability that make franchising a cornerstone of entrepreneurial success.”

The Entrepreneur editorial team determines the rankings each year by researching and assessing factors that include companies’ costs and fees, size and growth, support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. Each franchise is then given a cumulative score based on analyzing more than 150 data points. The 500 brands with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500 in ranked order.
