Franchising is a popular option for those who want to start a business without starting from scratch. However, franchising in the UK is not government-regulated, which can be daunting for those interested in franchising. The Quality Franchise Association (QFA) is a not-for-profit trade association that assists both franchise businesses and individuals interested in franchising. QFA provides a level of assurance to potential franchisees and supports franchisors in operating ethical and successful franchises. QFA members commit to the QFA Members Charter, which outlines ethical franchising practices such as transparency in financial reporting and adequate support for franchisees. QFA offers support and resources to franchisors, such as marketing, legal issues, and business planning assistance. If you are interested in franchising, QFA can help you achieve your franchising goals.
