The Canadian Franchise Association’s (CFA) Fran-Guard course is based on the International Franchise Association’s (IFA) Fran-Guard program and is a mandatory component of the CFE Program.
The Fran-Guard course was created to safeguard your franchise by having your key employees fully trained on the franchise sales management and compliance process. It gives you the tools to manage your compliance program and avoid costly mistakes that can potentially wreck your franchise system.
CFA’s Fran-Guard program is for senior executives, franchise development professionals, lawyers and compliance managers. The program features both the legal and business aspects of compliance taught by legal experts. Compliance not only reduces risk but it can result in better company profits.
The CFA hosts multiple virtual educational seminars throughout the year, featuring franchising experts who share their wealth of experience and advice for franchising success. Now, you can access videos from past events any time for a low price, using the On Demand Video Library. Learn how to franchise your business, adapt your franchise system to the “new normal” post-COVID-19, grow your system to more than 50 units, and more—all from the comfort of your own home and on your own time!

Key Messages for Franchise Awareness Day
Here are four key messages we’d like to drive on Franchise Awareness Day. (Please feel free to bring your local franchisees to government meetings too.)
- Franchised businesses are local businesses: While many brands are recognized around the country and across the world, the local stores are owned by franchisees who live and work in their communities from coast to coast.
- Supports that franchised businesses need to cope with the pandemic: While some brands are up others are down we will highlight the supports that franchised businesses need to help them recover from the pandemic.
- The importance of the franchise business model: Franchising contributes over $100B in GDP, employs almost 2M Canadians and is the 12th largest industry in Canada
- The unique nature of the franchisor/franchisee relationship: Franchisees are small business owners who are in business for themselves but not by themselves
Exclusive to CEOs, Founders, and Presidents of CFA Member Franchise Systems, the CFA’s Franchise CEO Forums are confidential roundtable discussions that provide you the opportunity to discuss critical issues you face with other leaders of franchise systems so you can gain insight and support in your business today and for the future.
The Franchise Social is a great opportunity for you to network with the CFA franchising community. Save your spot for the upcoming Franchise Social:
