BFA Franchising Seminars

Hear from industry experts during a series of exclusive educational seminars hosted by the British Franchise Association (BFA). Learn more about the franchise model and get practical advice to help you take your next steps with confidence.

Founded in 1977, the BFA is the voluntary, self-accrediting body for the UK franchise sector. These seminars are an extension of the Association’s work to develop, protect and promote industry standards.

The BFA will be joined by a panel of industry experts who will explain how the business model works, what you should look out for and the range of support available.
