The British Franchise Association

There’s nothing quite like franchising to make business ambitions happen. If you already have a successful brand, allowing others to buy in is a proven way to accelerate growth. Or, if you’re dreaming of going into business for the first time, opening your doors under an established name can get you off to a flying start.

Since 1977, we have become by far the largest and most influential trade association for franchising in the UK. What’s more, we’re also proud to be the only UK association working in partnership with the European Franchise Federation and World Franchise Council. In this way we can influence standards and franchise law across Europe for the benefit of our members.

We are proud to share content from our team, our members, and our events, encompassing guidance, best practice and the promotion of the franchise industry.
