The Irish Franchise Association is the only self-regulatory body within the Irish franchise sector, with a standards-based approach to its membership. As a voluntary body, we don’t have the resources to regulate the industry overall. We do, however, regulate our members and accredit them only when we are satisfied that the minimum best practice accreditation standards have been achieved and our members subscribe to the European Code of Ethics on Franchising.

We work to promote best practice, raise standards, and support our members through advocacy, knowledge sharing, and networking opportunities.

Our Mission is to Protect, Develop and Promote ethical Business Format Franchising
