British Franchise Association

The British Franchise Association (bfa) is the voluntary self-regulatory body for the UK franchise industry, with a standards-based approach to membership. Its aim is to promote ethical franchising practice in the UK and help the industry develop credibility, influence and favourable circumstance for growth. One of the bfa's main jobs is to help potential franchisees recognise the good and the bad franchise opportunities for what they are; another is to help businesses operating a franchise model  to secure their position amongst the "good".
