Advancing & Supporting the Franchise Community Since 1967
Beyond its role as the voice of the franchise industry, the CFA strengthens and develops franchising by delivering best-practice education and creating rewarding connections between Canadians and the opportunities in franchising. Franchising is the 12th largest industry in Canada and franchised businesses contribute over $148 billion per year to the Canadian economy, creating jobs for almost two million Canadians. The CFA produces Franchise Canada magazine, Franchise Canada Shows, and LookforaFranchise.ca.
