WorkBuzz has announced the finalists of The 2025 Best Franchise Awards sponsored by Lloyds Bank. The awards stand out for being entirely driven by feedback from franchisees, putting a spotlight on the very best in the franchise sector.

To be considered for the awards, franchisors must have taken part in the Franchise Satisfaction Benchmark (FSB) programme managed by WorkBuzz.
Franchisees assess their franchisor through a confidential online survey, answering questions on critical factors such as initial training, ongoing support, their working relationship, and whether they would recommend the franchise to a prospective franchisee.
Each franchisor that participates is assigned an overall FSB score and only the top-performing franchisors are then entered as finalists in the awards.
