Smart Cartridge Awarded BFA Associate Membership

 13 Aug 2005

Smart CartridgeSmart Cartridge, the fast-expanding provider of recycled ink cartridges, has been formally welcomed to the British Franchise Association as an Associate Member.   Coming just four years after the company was founded as a franchise operation, the announcement serves to endorse the integrity and viability of the Smart Cartridge franchise opportunity.
The past year has been an exciting period of development and growth for Edinburgh-based franchisor, Smart Cartridge.   During that time, the company appointed Master Licensees in both Ireland and Portugal, and opened its 44th franchised store with more to follow soon.

And now, that year of achievement has been crowned with the company's accreditation as an Associate Member of the British Franchise Association (BFA).

"The continued growth and success of the Smart Cartridge business owes everything to the hard work here at head office and within our franchise network.   And during the past 12 months, that hard work has really started to pay off," says business development director Suzie Lampshire.   "Our acceptance into the BFA as an Associate Member is recognition of that hard work and is a fantastic endorsement for the integrity and viability of our franchise business opportunity."

Accredited following intense scrutiny by the BFA, Smart Cartridge has proved that it meets the association's exacting selection criterion that includes franchise viability and ethicality.   Smart Cartridge also satisfied the BFA's requirements that the company's offering is "franchiseable" and that all relevant information pertaining to the franchise opportunity is disclosed to prospective franchisees in a clear and timely fashion.

"We are all delighted that Smart Cartridge has been made Associate Members of the BFA," Suzie Lampshire concludes.    "Everyone here, both at franchisor and franchisee level, believes in the Smart Cartridge business opportunity.   But it's wonderful to have our belief endorsed in this way by a panel of franchise industry experts."   ENDS - 250 Words
