Why Should Franchisors and Suppliers Join the Canadian Franchise Association (CFA)?
The Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) is more than just a non-profit assocation—it’s a powerful community dedicated to supporting franchisors, suppliers, and franchisees. Whether you're building a franchise brand or offering services to the industry, CFA membership provides valuable connections, credibility, and resources that can help you grow.
1. Credibility and Trust
CFA membership signals to potential franchisees and business partners that you uphold ethical franchising practices. The CFA Code of Ethics sets high standards, and being part of this trusted network builds confidence in your brand. https://cfa.ca/about-cfa-2/code-ethics/
2. Industry Advocacy
Franchising is a unique business model with its own regulatory challenges. CFA actively advocates for policies that protect and strengthen the franchise industry in Canada. As a member, you have a voice in shaping the future of franchising. https://cfa.ca/advocacy/
3. Exclusive Networking Opportunities
The CFA hosts events, conferences, and roundtables where franchisors and suppliers connect. Whether at the CFA National Convention coming up in April, 2025 in Niagara Fall, ON, webinars, or regional meetings, members gain direct access to industry leaders and potential partners. https://cfa.ca/events/
4. Marketing and Brand Exposure
Through Franchise Canada Magazine, CFA’s online directory, and promotional events, members get valuable exposure. This is an excellent way for both franchisors and suppliers to showcase their brands to a highly targeted audience. https://cfa.ca/brand-awareness/

Staying informed is crucial for success in franchising. CFA offers expert-led workshops, research reports, and peer discussions that help members navigate challenges and seize opportunities in the franchise world. https://cfa.ca/education/
