[Parlin, NJ] The International Franchise Professionals Group (IFPG) was named the No. 1 franchise broker organization on Entrepreneur magazine’s 2023 Top Franchise Suppliers list for the fifth consecutive year. The ranking, which is featured in the September/October issue of Entrepreneur magazine and on Entrepreneur.com, highlights the top franchise service providers across 11 categories.
“IFPG’s hardworking team and our world-class franchise consultants are thrilled that Entrepreneur has again acknowledged the excellence of what we do,” says Don Daszkowski, founder and CEO of IFPG. “We constantly challenge ourselves to empower our members with the resources they need to match candidates with ideal opportunities. When our members succeed, so do franchisees. That’s our ultimate goal: changing lives for the better through franchise ownership.”
IFPG has experienced strong growth since its founding in 2012 and now has a 1,500-plus membership made up of franchisors, franchise consultants and vendors. The franchise broker organization sets superior ethical standards in all of its business practices, maintains a collaborative workplace culture, and hosts creative events such as a fun and educational annual Retreat.
Last year, IFPG formed a strategic partnership with Princeton Equity Group (“Princeton”), a private equity firm focused on partnering with growing franchisors and multi-unit businesses. By leveraging Princeton’s resources and expertise, Daszkowski says IFPG has been able to expand the support provided to its members while perpetuating the company’s family-like culture. “Our collaborative culture nurtures growth for our members,” he says. “And our members build lasting business connections and deep friendships. We function like a big extended family.”
IFPG President Red Boswell says that culture enables its people to succeed and that the staff lays the foundation for that success. “We aren’t satisfied with anything less than excellence as we make life-changing differences for aspiring entrepreneurs through franchise ownership. Simply put, we have the absolute best franchise consultants at IFPG. This year’s ranking by Entrepreneur confirms that.”
Entrepreneur’s Top Franchise Suppliers ranking is based on an annual survey of franchisors, from emerging brands to long-established companies. For 2023, a record 1,000-plus franchise brands participated in the survey, reporting on their satisfaction with individual suppliers such as IFPG. The franchise brands evaluate their suppliers based on quality, cost, and value, and then Entrepreneur reviews the scores to determine its annual rankings.
"No franchise can succeed alone, just like no entrepreneur can succeed alone,” says Entrepreneur’s editor-in-chief, Jason Feifer. “The brands on our Top Suppliers list are the often unsung heroes of franchising, who help entrepreneurs do business right."
