Leading franchising consultants backs initiative to support global franchising
Leading franchise consulting firm Infinity Business Growth Network have sponsored a new initiative by the Quality Franchise Association ( QFA ) to assist businesses across the globe to grow their businesses via franchising. The QFA is a not for profit trade association that provides leadership, standards and raises awareness of franchising. It was founded in 2018 and has hundreds of members. QFA provides networking and support and has organized hundreds of free online events for members, educational and business support organisations. It has also created the Verified Franchising Professional ( VFP ) course and other free courses and guides which it delivers online.
The new initiative is to expand globally, providing a low cost Global Membership to allow international co-operation and networking. This has been achieved by the creation of 45 new QFA websites which include free resources and a directory of franchises available in each country.
Ian Townsend, COO of the Quality Franchise Association comments “This is another fantastic initiative by the QFA, creating a global franchising community under one brand. Membership is extremely cost effective and provides huge benefits to our members. We thank Infinity Business Growth Network for sponsoring this project and their continued support of franchising.”
Joel Bissitt, MD of Infinity Business Growth Network comments “We are delighted to support this project. I have grown several businesses internationally and it can be extremely challenging. The new Global Membership with the QFA will allow thousands of franchisors across the globe to join the QFA community, at an extremely affordable rate, and access franchising experts in 46 countries”
