We work closely with the British Franchise Association (bfa) and its members to encourage successful and ethical franchising. We’re proud sponsors of the HSBC bfa Franchisor and Franchisee of the Year awards Perhaps more than any other sector, franchising is about more than just making money. It’s also about creating strong and mutually beneficial relationships. As a bank, we see our role as not only developing those relationships with our customers but also helping them connect with potential partners. Alongside that, our experienced business managers can make effective decisions, helping potential franchisors and franchisees to establish their businesses and build their success.
