The Alternative Board is a finalist in the 2025 Best Franchise Awards

The Alternative Board (TAB), a leading business advisory franchise, has been announced as a finalist in the much-coveted WorkBuzz Best Franchise Awards sponsored by Lloyds Bank, in the Business-to-Business category.

To be considered for the awards, franchisors must have taken part in the Franchise Satisfaction Benchmark programme, where franchisees assess their franchisor on critical factors such as initial training, ongoing support, their working relationship, and whether they would recommend the franchise to a prospective franchisee. Only the top-performing franchisors are then put forward as finalists in the Best Franchise Awards.

Steven Frost, CEO and founder of WorkBuzz commented: “We’re delighted to recognise this year’s finalists in the Best Franchise Awards. Each of these franchisor’s has demonstrated an outstanding commitment to their franchisees, creating the right culture, support, and opportunities for them to thrive. Being shortlisted is a tremendous achievement and reflects the hard work and dedication behind these exceptional franchise networks.”

This has been a stellar year for TAB, not only for the awards and accolades it has achieved, but also in celebrating 15 successful years in the UK. It really demonstrates their reputation for delivering meaningful support and value to its network of franchisees across the UK.

“Being awarded the 5-Star satisfaction earlier this year was such an achievement, but to then learn that we were also a finalist for Best Franchise is fabulous. As a franchisor it’s so important that we support our franchisees to succeed, this is very much a partnership and at the heart of everything we do at TAB.”
Ed Reid Managing Director of TAB UK

The winners of the 2025 Best Franchise Awards will be revealed at the BFA Annual Conference on Thursday, 6 November. A key event in the franchising calendar, the conference brings together industry leaders from across the UK to connect, exchange insights, and celebrate excellence in the sector.

TAB’s services are in growing demand as more business owners turn to peer-led support to navigate challenges and accelerate growth. Its franchise model empowers entrepreneurial individuals to build successful businesses while making a meaningful impact in their local SME communities.

Opportunities are available across the UK for confident leaders with a strong business background. As TAB franchisees, they facilitate peer advisory boards, bringing together local business owners in a confidential, collaborative environment to exchange insights, solve problems and grow together. The franchisee guides these sessions, helping members achieve greater clarity, performance and direction.
