Matt Haller, IFA's president, argued that the FTC's actions are based on 'the false premise that franchisor control is inherently bad for franchisees,' which could significantly harm the franchise model.
Haller emphasized that the FTC's unilateral regulations could negatively impact both current and prospective franchisees by eroding the operational framework that supports franchise success.
The IFA highlighted federal court rulings revealing that consistent franchisor standards actually foster a better consumer experience and operational efficiency in franchises.
The IFA has formally requested the FTC to redirect their efforts away from increased franchisor regulation, asserting it exceeds the agency's authority and risks franchise viability.
