FAI is a member of World Franchise Council (WFC),an amicable and non-political association of National Franchise Associations under the support of the International Franchise Association (IFA) and supported by the European Franchise Federation. Full membership of WFC is open to all National Franchise Associations (NFAs) whose constitution requires a subscribing membership and a governing body which is in the majority composed of franchising companies.

FAI is also a member of Asia-Pacific Franchise Confederation (APFC), an amicable, non-political association of NFAs around the Asia-Pacific region. Formed on September 24, 1998, the objectives of APFC are to provide a forum with properly constituted NFAs in the Asia-Pacific region where they can share experience, information and technical “know-how” on franchising, including the establishment of better communication channels among members.

It is also to encourage further development of properly constituted NFAs in all countries within the region in order to strengthen the industry networking regionally and to present regional information in franchising and the common views of NFAs within the region to international bodies like the World Franchise Council.
