Abstract. Choosing a successful franchise company in the ever-changing business environment is a challenge for any investor. The work suggests the creation of an optimal algorithm (E-IFFr) for selecting a franchise company using the concepts of index matrices and elliptic intuitionistic fuzzy sets for modeling this variability in the business environment to optimally solve this optimal problem with elliptic intuitionistic fuzzy parameters. The E-IFFr approach involves experts with dynamic ranks performing evaluations by the selection criteria while also taking into consideration the relative importance of the criteria for each investor. The efficacy of the suggested strategy is demonstrated by a numerical example of the best franchisor selection for the courier business. In an optimistic, average, and pessimistic scenario, the investor has three options to choose from.
