BFA Logo

The Holiday Franchise Company made an early decision to become accredited by the British Franchise Association (BFA) because we share their commitment to transparency, ethics, and responsible franchising.

The BFA was established in 1977 by leading franchisors to set and enforce a strict code of conduct across the franchise industry. It has played a vital role in protecting investors and promoting sustainable franchise growth in the UK.

The BFA delivers a globally respected education programme and provides a trusted platform for franchisors, franchisees, and advisers to connect, learn, and succeed.

As highlighted in the HSBC Starting a Franchise guide, one of the most important questions any prospective franchisee should ask is:

“Are you a member of the British Franchise Association? If not, why not?”

We fully support this. If a franchisor isn’t a BFA member, you should question why. BFA accreditation isn’t automatic, it must be earned by meeting high standards around business viability, recruitment, ethics, and support.

We strongly believe that anyone investing in a franchise should look for BFA accreditation as a minimum standard. Be cautious of copycat “accreditations” that are little more than pay-to-join memberships for franchisors. These often have no entry criteria, no assessments, and no accountability, meaning anyone can sign up, regardless of business quality or ethics.

We do not subscribe to this approach.

We’re proud that our membership has since been upgraded after the BFA reviewed our franchise model and saw that many of our franchisees were outperforming the financial projections set during their business planning meetings.

As a responsible franchisor, our role is to:

  • Help you understand our model and how it could benefit you
  • Get to know you and the type of business you’re looking to build
  • Assess whether this could be a successful long-term partnership

Choosing a franchise is a big decision. Make sure you’re investing with a company that has been independently assessed, accredited, and held to account.

If you’re ready to explore a franchise backed by credibility, results, and real support, start by visiting our Pathway to Partnership video series, then book a call with us.

When you’re considering starting any franchise, you’ll be advised to look into whether each franchisor is a member of the bfa, and if not why not.
