Quality Accreditation

The AFA provides the Franchise Industry within the United Kingdom with a voluntary, self-regulatory body; serving it's members, potential new franchisees and the industry as a whole.

Ethical Values

Our Values & Principles ensure our organisation remains focused and driven to our collective objectives, surrounding the growth, development and awareness of the Franchise Industry within the United Kingdom.

Support and Information

Whether you are Looking for a Franchise or an existing Franchisor, the AFA provides a simple, straight talking advice forum to the Franchise Industry. Our website and publications, while extremely professional, are created with ease of use and pertinence in mind.

Our philosophy is simple…

…Total commitment to further develop and support the collective Franchising community and ultimately benefit Franchising in the UK.

Demand for an alternative choice to support the industry is one of the reasons why we have experienced rapid growth since we launched at the beginning of 2012.

The number of businesses choosing to Franchise over recent years has increased dramatically including the diversity across a wealth of sectors. With previously only one association in the industry many were left with little or no choice for Franchisor representation and collective membership.
