ComForCare\u2019s position on the ranking is a testament to its strength as a franchise opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cComForCare is thrilled to be positioned in Entrepreneur\u2019s Franchise 500 list particularly in such an unprecedented year with many challenges,\u201d said J.J. Sorrenti, CEO of Best Life Brands, parent company to ComForCare and At Your Side Home Care. \u201cOur entire franchise network has been working hard to bring home care to communities all across North America. This ranking underscores our strong franchise business model and our role as an essential business needed at all times.\u201d We look forward to reaching even more growth milestones in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>In Entrepreneur\u2019s continuing effort to best understand and evaluate the ever-changing franchise marketplace, the company\u2019s 42-year-old ranking formula continues to evolve as well. The key factors that go into the evaluation include costs and fees, size and growth, support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. Each franchise is given a cumulative score based on an analysis of more than 150 data points, and the 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500\u00ae in ranking order.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c2020 was a challenging year for everyone, but it was also a year of unusual opportunity,\u201d says Jason Feifer, Entrepreneur editor-in-chief. \u201cFranchises were able to be nimble and innovative, serving the needs of franchisees and customers in ways that will resonate for many years to come. We believe that, when we eventually look back on this time, we\u2019ll see it as a moment when many brands defined themselves for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To view ComForCare in the full ranking, visit www.entrepreneur.com\/franchise500.
