“I’m delighted to receive the news of Sunbelt’s placement on Entrepreneur’s Magazine’s 35th Annual Franchise 500 list once again. It’s been a challenging few years for the business brokerage industry and we consider this a real accomplishment. As only one of two business brokerage firms to make the list, we are proud to receive this honor in response to our low-cost opportunity and innovative support services to our franchisees,” stated Kelci Cotter, Senior Brand Manager for Sunbelt Business Brokers.

Entrepreneur Magazine’s selection, rating and ranking process for the 2014 Franchise 500 is based on key factors including financial strength, growth rate, stability and size of the company. Each franchise system is also evaluated on the number of years the company has been in business plus the length of time the company has been involved in franchising. Additional rating factors include initial start-up costs and available financing options. Each company’s objective factors are then analyzed by the Franchise 500 formula that presents a cumulative score for each franchise system.

Cotter added, “In our opinion, Sunbelt’s brokers are among the best in the world; without their hard work, devotion to the brand and expertise, we wouldn’t be where we are today. On behalf of Sunbelt, we thank you for being a part of our family and we are pleased to share this desirable achievement with all of you. We’re looking forward to an exciting and prosperous year!”
