“Networking with other franchisees has huge benefits, we are all local business owners in essence and having the ability to network together can only help in increasing our brand awareness but also our customer base locally. Franchisees all have requirements that potentially help everyone build a business community of both potential sales but also support.”

“Networking with other franchisees is so important. It helps us understand it doesn’t matter what sector you operate in, there are always similarities in business. We have also been able to refer to other franchisees and we have also received referrals from the franchisee network.”
Catharine Chalton, Home Instead
“Makes time for essential learning, networking and also reflection via the discussions. It’s really valuable to speak with like minded individuals who have been on or are on the same journey as yourself, all willing to support each other.“

“Learning from other franchise brands can be so valuable, we can learn about each-others businesses. Find franchises local to us we hadn’t heard of before, and most importantly support each other! We will grow stronger networking with one another, sharing ideas, thinking outside the box. Giving up your time a few times a year, will add value to your business overall, saving you time in the future.“

BFA franchisee members can apply for a fuel card of their choice (Fuel+, Texaco, BP, Shell or Esso Truck) accepted at selected UK filling stations.
Each card will currently give the holder 4p discount on the pump price of regular diesel or 2p discount on the pump price of regular unleaded at the selected stations. Supermarket purchases will be charged at pump prices. Cards have NO admin or annual fee and are exclusive to franchisee members.
Members can apply for as many cards as they want and for as many vehicles as they operate. To benefit from the negotiated discounts cards must be applied for by the following UK Fuel Cards exclusive link and applicants must be BFA franchisee members. Please note that the card works like a credit card with monthly bills but must be paid by DD set up on the application form.

It is important for individuals to understand that they don’t need to own a company to be eligible for a fuel card. Everyone can apply for it.
