IFPG

IFPG (International Franchise Professionals Group) is currently the largest in this space, touting over 1,700 members. Of those members are over 600 franchisors, hundreds of brokers and hundreds of vendors ranging from marketing to insurance to funding.

To join IFPG comes with an initial fee of $25,000 and then a monthly fee of around $200–$250 for a new consultant. Their key differentiators for those looking to join as a consultant are that they represent the most brands and, since they charge a monthly fee, they allow their brokers to keep 100% of their commissions.
