Crestcom International Named a 2025 Top Low-Cost Franchise by Franchise Business Review

Independent Research Data Shows Franchisees are Highly Satisfied with their Investment in Crestcom.

Greenwood Village, CO, April 2025 — Crestcom International was named one of only 50 franchises to qualify as a 2025 Top Low-Cost Franchise by independent franchise research firm Franchise Business Review. 

The Crestcom franchise is for the professional executive who wants to make a difference in people’s lives by fulfilling the mission of developing great leaders around the world.  It is for those individuals choosing the path that leads to profit with purpose. Since its inception in 1987, Crestcom’s leadership development programs have delivered sustained behavior change and measured value to its clients. 

More than 12,000 franchisees representing 125 low-cost brands participated in Franchise Business Review’s franchisee satisfaction survey over 18 months. The brands named to the list of the best low-cost franchises to buy had to have high franchisee satisfaction and an investment of under $100,000 when their franchisees participated in FBR’s satisfaction survey. 

FBR asked Crestcom’s franchisees 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems. Their responses were overwhelmingly positive, rating Crestcom as “Very Good” in overall franchisee satisfaction in training and support, leadership, core values, and the Crestcom franchise community. 

When asked about her experience as a Crestcom franchisee, Jennifer Thorne said, “Crestcom has allowed us to make a positive impact in people’s lives while making a great living. Coming from a corporate background, we are now blessed with the work-life balance we only dreamed of. We work hard but don’t have the stress of a corporate job. Crestcom’s support has been outstanding, and the head office has created a high-performance environment combined with integrity, kindness and high-quality training.”

Earlier this year, Franchise Business Review also recognized Crestcom as a 2025 Top Franchise and a Top 100 Franchise for Women.
