In new comments submitted to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on the “Deceptive or Unfair Earnings Claims” rulemaking, the International Franchise Association (IFA) urged the Commission to exclude franchised businesses from duplicate and potentially conflicting regulatory requirements under the proposed rule.

The International Franchise Association (IFA) today announced five new congressional endorsements in the 2022 midterm election cycle, naming U.S. Sen. John Boozman (R-AR) and Reps. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), Richard Hudson (R-NC), Kurt Schrader (D-OR), and Drew Ferguson (R-GA) as “Friends of Franchising.”

In honor of National Small Business Week, the International Franchise Association (IFA) recognized the 775,000 local franchise small businesses it represents and their commitment to creating opportunities for underserved individuals, uplifting the communities where they operate, and serving as an engine for economic growth and upward mobility.
