Building a Stronger Franchise Future

Who We Are

The Canadian Alliance of Franchisees (CAF) stands as a voice and resource hub for committed franchise owners throughout Canada, offering independent advocacy and support.

Proudly Canadian, we are dedicated to representing the unique interests and challenges of franchisees across the nation.

Whatever your franchise, whether in retail, food service, or any other sector, we provide tailored assistance and resources to help you thrive.

Our comprehensive support network ensures that every franchise owner has access to the expertise and guidance needed to succeed in a competitive marketplace.

Our Values

At the core of the CAF are the principles that guide everything we do: fairness, balance, and the pursuit of mutual success. We believe in fostering a far-reaching and reliable environment where franchisees not only thrive but have a voice and industry autonomy. Our commitment to providing informed business decisions empowers our members to navigate the complexities of franchising with confidence. As advocates, we work around the clock to ensure that franchisees benefit from protection and support. Above all, the CAF is accountable solely to its members. We’ll always fight for what is right.

Membership

Reflect on all the efforts and steps you’ve taken to reach your current position. Now, as you look ahead, take a moment to consider your future. Please keep in mind:

  • Will staying the same lead to greater success, or a decline?
  • Can an association of franchisees, free from corporate influence or pressure, effectively advocate for your interests with the autonomy needed?
  • Similar to the numerous thriving associations supporting franchisees like yourself, could an independent association provide stronger protection for your legal rights, priorities, business, and future?

Be Heard

CAF represents our members and only our members. We are accountable to you and no one else.

Be Informed

The CAF is dedicated to consistently delivering up-to-date and unbiased insights into various aspects of the chain: from regional sales figures to local product testing, member feedback, independent research, and more. We often receive feedback from franchisees expressing a lack of information from the corporate side. Rest assured, we’re here to bridge that gap and provide the support needed.

Education

The CAF is always making tools and resources to assist members in enhancing their businesses. These resources will cover operations, policies, and overall profitability, with a specific emphasis on maintaining operating standards and adapting to corporate program changes. Additionally, the CAF is establishing access to a network of external experts to guide various other areas.
