THE BRITISH FRANCHISE ASSOCIATION

WHAT IS THE BRITISH FRANCHISE ASSOCIATION?

The British Franchise Association (BFA) is the governing body which exists to uphold ethical standards within franchising in the UK.

Affiliate members “…must show evidence of professional standing; they must submit evidence to show that staff qualified in the profession concerned are experienced in the application of that profession to franchising; and a commitment by a nominated responsible officer to the maintenance of the organisation’s arrangements for providing appropriately experienced advice on franchising to its clients.”

WHY YOU SHOULD USE A BFA AFFILIATED CONSULTANT

Any advice you seek about franchising should come from a reputable source. Franchise consultants that are BFA members represent the professional end of the spectrum. The franchising community is close knit and the BFA is very good at monitoring what is happening in the market place. Consultancy companies that are long time members of the BFA are demonstrating a track record of professionalism and high ethical standards.

THE FRANCHISE DEVELOPMENT CENTRE AND THE BFA

The Franchise Development Centre has been an active member and key supporter of the BFA since the inception of the business in 1995. Over the years our Directors have held various positions within the BFA including that of Main Board Director. Through training programmes, seminar programmes and invitations to speak at various BFA events we have worked closely with the BFA and fully support its efforts to continue to raise ethical standards within franchising to ever higher levels.

All of our consultants are of course BFA members and personally support and contribute to the BFA’s vision. In addition, the personal and professional qualities we require of a person before they can join our team as a consultant, means that they automatically adhere to a level of conduct which exceeds the BFA criteria.
