The certification program was started by a group a leasing professionals who were members of Western Association of Equipment Leasing, now the United Association of Equipment Leasing (UAEL). The program grew to the point UAEL relinquished all rights to the program and the CLP Foundation was established as a non-profit corporation. The Eastern Association of Equipment Lessors, National Association of Equipment Leasing Brokers, and UAEL now lend their support to the Foundation and the CLP Program. January 1, 2015, the name was changed to include finance.

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/

Founded in 1944, it was known as the Commercial Finance Association. It changed its name. Basically, the association is the trade group of the asset-based financial services industry, with members throughout the U.S., Canada and around the world. Members include the asset- based lending arms of domestic and foreign commercial banks, small and large independent finance companies, floor plan  financing organizations, factoring organizations and financing subsidiaries of major industrial corporations.

They also have monthly meetings in various states as well as many education and other programs, including studies and information available to members and non-members.
