We provide a range of membership benefits including:

• Access to a wealth of knowledge on social franchising including our "Opposites Attract" guide to social franchising
• The credibility of being a member of the Europe's only social franchising membership organisation
• An opportunity to be part of a rapidly growing new form of social enterprise development

To be a social franchise both the social franchisor and franchisees must be social enterprises (ie businesses that trade and have a social purpose) and there should be:

1. An organisation that replicates a social enterprise business model - the social franchisor
2. At least one independent social franchisee that has been replicated by the social franchisor
3. A common brand under which the social franchisees operate.

You can also join as an Associate member for aspiring social franchise and those who support of social franchising.
