Crestcom Named a Top 100 Franchise for Women by Franchise Business Review
Independent Survey Shows Female Franchise Owners Are Highly Satisfied with Crestcom International’s Performance
Crestcom International has been recognized by Franchise Business Review as a 2026 Top Franchise for Women for the second year in a row. Only 100 brands were named to the annual list of award winners.
Crestcom International is a leadership development franchise with a mission to develop effective and equitable leaders worldwide. Crestcom franchise owners have provided leadership development to over one million managers in 60+ countries, partnered with over 30,000 client organizations, and impacted many lives — personally and professionally. Consistently recognized for its profitable, scalable franchise opportunity, Crestcom was also named on Franchise Business Review’s 2026 Top 200 Franchises list earlier this year.
Franchise Business Review, a research firm that conducts independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction, provides the only ratings of franchises based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance. Franchise Business Review publishes industry reports throughout the year that highlight research on the top franchises in specific sectors.
Crestcom was among 320 franchise brands, representing nearly 8,550 female franchise owners, that participated in Franchise Business Review’s research on the Top Franchises for Women. Crestcom’s franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including leadership, training & support, financial opportunity, and work/life balance.
“For women exploring the path to business ownership—whether full-time or part-time—franchising opens a world of real, achievable opportunity,” said Michelle Rowan, president of Franchise Business Review. “But with a vast landscape of options out there, due diligence is everything. Before committing to any brand, women should take a close look at what current female franchisees are actually experiencing: the quality of training and support, work-life balance, earning potential, company culture, and leadership strength. This year’s Top Franchises for Women list speaks for itself—88% of female owners say they enjoy operating their business, and 3 out of 4 would recommend their franchise to others. That kind of peer validation is invaluable when you’re standing at the threshold of a major life decision.”
Crestcom understands the impact of supporting women in business and leadership. Julie Draguns, president and CFO of Crestcom International, explained, “We are incredibly honored to be recognized as a Top 100 Franchise for Women. At Crestcom, we are committed to empowering women entrepreneurs with the tools, training, and support they need to thrive. This recognition reflects the dedication of our franchisees and their commitment to developing leaders in their communities every day.”
About Crestcom
Crestcom International, LLC, is an international leadership development organization that has trained over one million leaders for 30,000 businesses in 60 countries worldwide. Crestcom does this through a unique blend of live-facilitated multimedia video, interactive exercises, and shared learning experiences, followed by action plans and accountability sessions to ensure measured development in key leadership competency areas.
Owning a Crestcom Franchise has been both rewarding and energizing. You step into a proven model with strong systems, excellent development programs, and a highly supportive global network. After a 25-year corporate career, I initially looked for a program to complement my coaching—but quickly recognized a scalable business aligned with my strengths. Since starting in 2021, I’ve expanded multiple times. Day-to-day, it’s a balance of delivering leadership development, building relationships, and growing the business. It’s structured yet flexible, allowing you to bring your own insights. It is sales-driven, but that’s where the real growth and opportunity lie.
Starting with Crestcom in 2017 was one of the best professional decisions we’ve made. Since then, we’ve grown to four territories and have had a great experience building the business. What stands out is the combination of independence and support. You get the freedom of working for yourself, with the structure, guidance, and backing of a strong program. Everyone has been supportive and generous along the way. After working in a corporate setting, this has been a much better fit. The work life balance has also been a real benefit and something we truly value.
