Update 11/12/2004: A new version of the business opportunity has been posted here: McDonald’s.

McDonald’s has always been a franchising Company and has relied on its franchisees to play a major role in its success. McDonald’s remains committed to franchising as a predominant way of doing business. Approximately 70% of McDonald’s worldwide restaurant businesses are owned and operated by independent businessmen and women, our franchisees.

A Recognized Premier Franchising Company

McDonald’s continues to be recognized as a premier franchising company around the world. Perhaps the fact that McDonald’s management listens so carefully to its franchisees has something to do with McDonald’s being perennially named as Entrepreneur Magazine’s number one franchise.

A Partnering Relationship

Our franchising system is built on the premise that the Corporation can be successful only if our franchisees are successful first. We believe in a partnering relationship with our owner/ operators, suppliers and employees. Success for McDonald’s Corporation flows from the success of its business partners.

What We Are Looking For

Our selection of prospective candidates is based on an assessment of overall business experience and personal qualifications. We look for individuals with good “common business sense”, a demonstrated ability to effectively lead and develop people, and a history of previous success in business and life endeavors. A restaurant background is not necessary. We franchise only to individuals, not to corporations, partnerships, or passive investors.

An Equal Opportunity Franchiser

McDonald’s is, by choice, an equal opportunity franchiser, with a proven track record of franchising to all segments of society. In the U.S., minorities and women currently represent over 34% of our franchisees and 70% of all applicants in training.

McDonald’s is currently seeking highly qualified individuals to join the McDonald’s family as new franchisees in both U.S. and International markets.
