In the crowded world of American franchising, few names have managed to secure repeated recognition for sustained growth. Five Star Franchising, the Utah-based home services platform, has done exactly that, earning a place on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The company ranked No. 780, marking its fifth appearance on the list and strengthening its reputation as one of the industry’s most consistent performers.
The Inc. 5000 has long been considered a benchmark for entrepreneurial success, counting giants like Microsoft and Under Armour among its alumni. For Five Star Franchising, the honor is more than symbolic. “Our inclusion on this list continues a remarkable trend of recognition for Five Star Franchising—both for our platform and for individual brands,” said Scott Abbott, the company’s co-founder and chief executive.
This recognition follows a year of momentum across the company’s portfolio of service-based franchise brands. Several of its concepts were featured in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500® rankings, while others earned distinction as top low-cost franchise opportunities and attractive options for multi-unit ownership. The breadth of these honors reflects both the company’s operational depth and its appeal to aspiring entrepreneurs.
Regionally, the company’s presence has been equally noteworthy. Five Star Franchising ranked ninth in the Provo-Orem area, 17th in Utah, and 63rd nationally in the Business Products and Services category. These placements are all the more impressive against the backdrop of economic headwinds, from rising inflation to a constricted labor market, that have challenged many in the franchising sector.
This year’s Inc. 5000 class demonstrated resilience in the face of these challenges, recording an average growth rate of more than 1,500 percent. Within that group, Five Star Franchising distinguished itself not only through its national profile but also through its ability to scale while maintaining brand consistency.
“Being honored on this list once more is a powerful affirmation for us,” said Andrew Mengason, the company’s chief growth officer. He emphasized that demand for territories and new franchise ownership has reached record levels, positioning the company to accelerate expansion in the years ahead.
For aspiring business owners, Five Star Franchising’s growth offers a clear signal. With its platform of home service brands and proven infrastructure, the company presents a path to entrepreneurship that promises both stability and scale. In an industry often defined by volatility, its track record of repeated recognition has made Five Star one of the sector’s most reliable names.
