WorkBuzz has announced the finalists of the 2025 Best Franchise Awards, proudly sponsored by Lloyds Bank. These awards stand out for being entirely driven by feedback from hundreds of franchisees, putting a spotlight on the very best in the franchising industry.
To be considered for the awards, franchisors must have taken part in the Franchise Satisfaction Benchmark programme, where franchisees assess their franchisor on critical factors such as initial training, ongoing support, their working relationship, and whether they would recommend the franchise to a prospective franchisee. Only the top-performing franchisors are then put forward as finalists in the Best Franchise Awards.
The 2025 Best Franchise Award finalists are:
| Best Franchise Business to Business | Best Franchise Business to Consumer | Best Franchise Children’s Services | Best Franchise Management * |
| TaxAssist Accountants | Language for Fun | Kidslingo | Apollo Care |
| The Alternative Board | My Property Pros | Little City | FASTSIGNS |
| UK Business Mentoring | The Youth Fairy | The Creation Station | GoodOaks Homecare |
| Molly Maid |
Steven Frost, CEO and founder of WorkBuzz commented: “We’re delighted to recognise this year’s finalists in the Best Franchise Awards. Each of these franchisor’s has demonstrated an outstanding commitment to their franchisees, creating the right culture, support, and opportunities for them to thrive. Being shortlisted is a tremendous achievement and reflects the hard work and dedication behind these exceptional franchise networks.”
The winners of the 2025 Best Franchise Awards will be revealed at the BFA Annual Conference on Thursday, 6 November. A key event in the franchising calendar, the conference brings together industry leaders from across the UK to connect, exchange insights, and celebrate excellence in the sector.
* Due to identical evaluation scores, Management has four finalists.
