AACFB is the premier trade association empowering the independent commercial financing professional and providing direct access to their funding source partners. We represent an estimated $12 billion worth of origination and transaction placement.

Founded in 1990 and led by experienced commercial financing professionals, the AACFB (formerly the National Association of Equipment Leasing Brokers) is an association for brokers, by brokers. That means every member understands the importance of certain core values: the foundation of a rock-solid Code of Ethics, the significance of one-on-one networking, the merit of up-to-date education and the power of a collective voice within the industry.

National Franchise Association

1080 Woodcock Rd. #295
Orlando, FL 32803
Tel: 888-317-7429
https://www.franchiseba.com/

The Franchise Broker Association (FBA) was founded in 2008 with a mission to provide ongoing support and assistance for business growth for the members of our Association.
We started out initially as a resource for brokers to connect to other industry leaders in order to work collectively in the franchise business. As more people began to join our association, they felt they were doing so much better in their careers and started to ask us to offer an Introduction to Franchise Brokering class. Shortly after that, we formed the Franchise Training Institute (FTI).
We are an Association, not a network or franchise. We do not charge royalties or share in commissions with our members; we are supported by our members who find value in being a part of our Association and who pay monthly dues for our ongoing support.
Meet the talented people behind our association and learn more on our website! http://franchiseba.com/
