Eurasian Franchise Association
The Eurasian Franchise Association was established almost 12 years ago as a response to the growing interest in the franchise business model across the region. Since then, the Association has evolved from a small initiative into a respected platform that unites entrepreneurs, experts, and government institutions.
Our mission is to promote franchising as an effective tool for business scaling, to support entrepreneurs, and to build a strong entrepreneurial ecosystem throughout the Eurasian space. We strive to make franchising accessible, transparent, and easy to understand for all market participants.
Team and Expert Council
The Association brings together professionals with extensive expertise in franchising, marketing, law, finance, and international business.
The Expert Council consists of practitioners and industry leaders who help shape development strategies, design standards, and share their knowledge with entrepreneurs. Among them are:
- specialists in franchise development and business process design,
- lawyers in intellectual property and contract law,
- marketing and international growth consultants,
- representatives of universities and business schools.
We are proud that our team combines theory with practice, strategic vision with real success stories.
