Encouraging Women into Franchising

Encouraging Women into Franchising (EWIF) are a not-for-profit organisation run entirely by volunteers, providing advice and guidance to women looking for a route into the franchise industry. 

Their mission is to educate, inspire and empower women considering or involved in franchising through a network of Ambassadors. Their remit is threefold; to encourage women to consider buying a franchise, to encourage businesswomen to franchise their existing operations and to help franchisors attract more women to their networks.

Services

EWIF Ambassadors offer a range of free services to help women who are considering becoming franchisees; women business owners looking to franchise their business and franchisors that have an under representation of women franchisees in their networks.

Their free services include a 30 minute telephone call where support and advice is offered alongside mentoring from one of our Ambassadors.
