Form an Independent Franchisee Association

Being part of an active independent franchisee association is a powerful way to improve the way your franchisor treats you.
Franchisee associations, especially when seeking a positive and collaborative franchise relationship, can effectively level the playing field in a franchise system by joining franchisee voices in common cause.

Launching your franchisee association as a chapter of AAFD is the most efficient and cost effective way to quickly and easily form your franchisee association.

The AAFD is organized by the formation of exclusive Trademark Chapters representing all of the franchised systems for which we have a significant number of members. The Association’s Trademark Chapters provide a crucial service of helping franchise systems throughout the United States develop consensus decisions within their franchise systems and to promote more equitable franchise relationships which exhibit the AAFD’s goal of  Total Quality Franchising!
