Membership of the FCA is voluntary, and open to any organisation or individual involved in the franchise sector including franchisors, franchisees, and suppliers to the sector such as lawyers, accountants, banks, consultants and publishers.
Whether it’s providing advice on the best current practices in franchising, advocating to government on regulatory and legislative matters, promoting franchising in the media or providing educational services to our members, the FCA does its part to make the sector a profitable, rewarding, and sustainable place to work.
Members of the Franchise Council of Australia are part of a unique association in which business experience and information are shared freely. Membership means solidarity: as an FCA member you belong to an association in which your peers and a highly experienced support team work together for the advancement of the sector while sharing the bond of a common method of doing business even if their individual businesses are very different.
It is this non-competitive culture of sharing that makes the FCA unique among industry associations, and this alone can recoup the cost of membership many times over from a single piece of advice gleaned from a fellow member at an FCA event.
FCA membership benefits are both tangible and intangible. The FCA’s strong foundations stem from its members, and include:
✔ Education ✔ Membership Services ✔ Representation ✔ Events
