# FRANWORLD — The Global Franchise Hub

Last updated: 2026-09-29

> FRANWORLD is an AI-native, cross-border franchise marketplace connecting franchise investors and seekers with franchisor brands worldwide, with a focus on emerging markets. It offers honest AI matching, exclusive leads that are never resold, pricing published in full, and a data-scored annual ranking called the Franworld Index. Status: live in public preview — 64 franchise brands published as of 22 September 2026; full commercial launch planned for 1 January 2027. Co-founded by Nguyễn Phi Vân with partners; an independent venture.

FRANWORLD serves four audiences on one hub: Brands (list once and receive matched, exclusive leads — never resold to a competitor), Investors (search by country, sector, budget and ownership type — single-unit to master franchise — with explainable fit scores; always free), Suppliers (reach franchise networks that need POS, fit-out, packaging and logistics), and Advertisers (placements on a published rate card).

Three public promises: (1) every lead is sold once and never resold; (2) all pricing is published in full; (3) every data figure is labelled verified, brand-supplied or estimated, and rankings run on published rubrics — never on payment. AI advisor "Maya" answers franchising questions on-site.
