The International Franchise Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to franchising, with a history spanning more than six decades. It identifies itself as the world's oldest and largest association in its field, focused on protecting, strengthening, and promoting franchising through government relations, public relations, and educational programs. Its membership encompasses franchise brands across more than 120 business formats, along with individual franchisees and service providers that support marketing, legal, and business development needs within the industry. The organization is based in Washington, D.C., and operates with a mid-sized staff. In 2025 the IFA expanded its events and media holdings with the acquisition of Franchise Update Media, reflecting a broader footprint in the franchising sector. The move aligns with its role as an information and advocacy hub for members by increasing access to events and industry media.
