What BFA Accreditation Means
The British Franchise Association is the UK’s leading trade body for franchising, setting nationally recognised standards for ethical and sustainable franchise businesses. Accreditation is earned through a rigorous, independent assessment of a franchisor’s model, documentation, systems, and support.
Our successful accreditation confirms that Lemon and Lime Franchising operates in line with best practice and meets the high standards expected of BFA members.
