News Sources

There are various magazines in the UK specific to franchising, but be careful because many of them are not independent and are operated by franchise consultants or other service providers primarily to promote their own services and to collect advertising revenue, with very little genuine unpaid for content included.

Franchisor News magazine does offer interesting articles and is not operated by consultants, and the British Franchise Association website and newsletters give news and updates in particular to members.
