Franchise Portals:

Franchise portals are basically huge directories with hundreds if not thousands of franchises listed on their websites.  People click on the franchises that they are interested in, fill out a form for more information, and then those leads are sold to franchisors for a fee.  The main thing to be aware of with franchise portals is that you have to follow up with those leads really quickly because they are often times being followed up on by 5-15 other companies.
