Welcome to EWIF!
Welcome to EWIF (Encouraging Women into Franchising). We focus our time and energy on supporting women who are looking for a route into the franchise industry. With regional meetings, an annual awards ceremony, annual conferences and much more taking place for our members, EWIF has become a valuable community and source of information for so many people. Please take a look around and get in touch if you think EWIF could help you. We’re always delighted to welcome new members!
I am delighted that my original concept wherein members of the franchise industry give their time and expertise to women considering franchising has been embraced by so many people from within the franchise industry.
We are a not-for-profit organisation run entirely by volunteers, providing advice and guidance to anyone looking at trying to break into the franchise industry. Our remit is threefold; to encourage women to consider buying a franchise, to encourage business women to franchise their existing operations and to help franchisors attract more women to their networks.
