International Franchise Association (IFA)
The International Franchise Association, founded in 1960, is a membership organization
of franchisors, franchisees and suppliers. Our Web site is dedicated to providing
our members and guests with a one-stop shopping experience for franchise information.
The International Franchise Association’s mission is to protect, enhance and promote
franchising.
The IFA Code of Ethics is intended to establish a framework for the implementation
of best practices in the franchise relationships of IFA members. The Code represents
the ideals to which all IFA members agree to subscribe in their franchise relationships.
The Code is one component of the IFA’s self-regulation program, which also includes
the IFA Ombudsman and revisions to the IFA bylaws that will streamline the enforcement
mechanism for the Code. The IFA’s members believe that adherence to the values expressed
in the IFA Code will result in healthy, productive and mutually beneficial franchise
relationships.
You can find more information about the IFA at its web site www.franchise.org

Office Depot is your #1 source for office supplies- from paper to furniture to ink
and everything in between. We use CONTRACT PRICING, tailored to all budgets.
We are set up on a price plan which allows you, an Avalar Franchise or affiliate anywhere
from 20-60 % off the list priced catalog - rock bottom pricing (just pennies above
our cost).
You can be set up to purchase on line or order over the phone and still receive your
discount based on your participation within the Avalar network. Minimum orders, online,
are $50 for free shipping and next day delivery right to your door.
You will work directly with Marla, so if it appears you order the same items frequently,
she can negotiate an even lesser price. Or if you have big ticket items (technology,
furniture) she can probably help you out with these too! Please note that items on
sale in the store, or on line are not hers and can’t be combined. Call her first to
see if she can beat what the store or the online store is offering – most likely she
can beat both prices. For more information, contact
