JUNE 3, 2025 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Littleton, CO, June 3rd, 2025 – Payroll Vault was recently named to Franchise Business Review’s 2025 “Culture100” list. The list recognizes the top 100 franchise brands in its annual research on the Best Franchise Cultures.
Payroll Vault is a national payroll and HR services provider that caters to small and mid-sized businesses. With over 60 franchise locations across the United States, Payroll Vault offers comprehensive payroll, HR, payroll tax, and compliance solutions to help businesses manage their most valuable asset – their employees.
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 its rankings of top franchises semi-annually in its Guide to Today’s Top Franchises, as well as industry reports throughout the year that highlight research on the top franchises in specific sectors.
Payroll Vault was among more than 350 franchise brands representing over 35,000 franchise owners that participated in Franchise Business Review’s research on the best franchise cultures. Franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems. The brands that were selected received the highest overall ratings based on 17 unique areas that contribute to a strong company culture, including leadership, core values, franchisee community, and engagement.
“Finding the right culture fit is an important part of any franchise investment decision, but it can be difficult to gauge,” said Michelle Rowan, president & COO of Franchise Business Review. “Franchise Business Review gathers data on how current franchise owners rate a brand’s culture and compare it to industry benchmarks. That data gives potential buyers insights into important indicators of a positive culture, such as if franchisees believe the franchisor cares about their success and how well support staff and franchisees work together to achieve their business objectives. The companies on this year’s Culture100 list are rated 20% - 50% higher by their franchisees than other franchise brands in the key areas that contribute to a positive culture. If you’re considering buying a franchise, we recommend you start your search there.”
"Earning a spot among the Top 100 Franchise Brands with the Best Culture represents a significant milestone for Payroll Vault," said Tricia Petteys, CEO and Co-Founder. "This achievement reflects our unwavering dedication to cultivating an outstanding organizational culture and underscores how prioritizing people and values drives meaningful results for our franchise partners and their communities.”
