About us
The Franchise Performance network was founded in June 2018 with the aim of bringing together two existing companies: Occasion Franchise and Québec Franchise.
Quebec Franchise was founded in March 1995 with the first edition of the Québec Franchise Magazine, the only francophone magazine specializing in franchising in North America. The founder of the magazine, Jacques Desforges, was the publisher of the magazine, as well as the creator of the first specialized franchise website in Quebec in 1999.

With franchising in its infancy in these regions, the Franchise Performance network wanted to establish itself as an online reference for international franchisors and potential franchisees in this developing market.
