SAN MATEO, CA (March 2010) – All Business, Dun & Bradstreet’s small business advisory company, recently released its second annual Franchise 300 rankings of national franchise systems and ranked Vanguard Cleaning Systems at #6. Vanguard is among the list’s Top 10, which include franchises such as Subway, Jack in the Box, Choice Hotels International and McDonald’s.

The AllBusiness editorial team used a number of criteria to rank winners: franchise unit growth rate, financial strength, system size, years in business, years franchising, availability of financing and Web (brand) visibility.
