This year’s judging panel will be looking for dedicated franchisees whose businesses have out-performed competitors and demonstrated ‘Success in Challenging Times ‘ – the theme for this year’s Awards.

The winners will be announced at a glittering black-tie event at the International Convention Centre (ICC) in Birmingham, on Thursday 1 October.

The overall winner will walk away with the top prize of £5,000 followed by two runners-up who will win £3,000 and £2,000 respectively – all courtesy of HSBC.

Director General of the bfa, Brian Smart, said: “Despite tough trading conditions the franchise industry continues to flourish, with twice as many people preferring to buy from a franchised business than a non-franchised business, in an industry worth an annual £11.4 billion to the economy.
