A franchise broker is a professional who helps individuals find franchise opportunities that align with their goals, strengths, and values.
They guide people who feel “trapped” in their current situations toward the freedom of owning a franchise business. By matching prospective franchise owners with the right franchise systems, brokers benefit both parties: individuals unlock their potential and achieve personal growth, while franchise systems gain committed and capable partners who contribute to the network’s success.

Love being a valued member of such an outstanding organization! I've been a part of companies that want you to sit down, stay in your corner, shut up, and do what you're told. And then there are organizations that invite you to bring the very best of yourself, all that you are, all you can do, and then celebrate when you do. Thankful that the FBA found me and invited me to be part of their family!

The best thing about FBA is that you are more than a member, more than a subscriber. You are part of a community that you can learn and use from. The support staff is always there when any issue arises.

The Franchise Brokers Association is a top notch organization to work with. They all exhibit the utmost in professionalism, integrity, and show a genuine desire to do what is right and go the extra mile for their clients!
Being a part of their organization feels like being a part of a family. You can easily tell that they care more about people than money. We have been a part of their organization for over a decade now and truly value our business partnership, because they go out of their way to make us feel valued in return. If you are considering a new business or franchise venture of some kind, I would highly recommend connecting with an FBA broker to help you through that process. You will not be disappointed!

Wonderful organization with their priorities placed in the right order. They are committed to both the life change of their clients as well as the success of their brokers! A truly human company, more interested in the human connections that bring success than just the closing of deals. Highly educational focus so that things are done right and most importantly in the right frame of mind. They have won my full respect!

Do You Need a License to Become a Franchise Broker?​
Typically, no specific license is required to become a franchise broker. However, understanding franchising laws and local regulations is crucial. Many brokers enhance their credibility by joining organizations like the International Franchise Association (IFA) or the Franchise Brokers Association (FBA), which offer training and resources.
Proven process for launching successful franchise brokers into the industry.
From our experience working with our brokers, we’ve identified the most common and critical pitfalls. In the franchise industry, brokers struggle with technology, qualifying leads, candidates who won’t return their calls, following up, franchise research, and the creative energy it takes to send compelling marketing content. All of which are distracting, time inefficient, and take time away from closing more deals.
Through building BOS, we leveraged our powerful team of coordinators, copywriters, graphic designers, and CRM developers to bring you a tool to do all the busy work for you.
Connect with us for expert guidance at every step of your franchise journey. From brokers to industry insights, marketing, finance, and sales support – we provide everything you need to succeed.
Find the franchise that
fits the lifestyle you want.
Buying a franchise offers a proven business model, easier financing, and reduced risk with strong franchisor support, making it a better option than starting a new business.
