IFA At The White House

On June 26, nine franchise small business owners, along with IFA President and CEO Matt Haller, joined President Trump at the White House to urge Congress to pass the “One Big, Beautiful Bill.” 

Zoom out: According to a brand new analysis from IFA and FRANdata, the budget reconciliation bill would positively impact nearly all franchise small businesses through its permanent tax relief, which includes key provisions like the 199A Deduction, Bonus Depreciation, Business Tax Deduction, No Tax on Tips, and No Tax on Overtime.

Zooming out: Throughout the spring, IFA members have been using their voices to advocate for the positive impacts of the franchise model, including testifying before the U.S. House Small Business Committee and the Joint House and Senate Small Business Committee, and this week signing a coalition letter urging lawmakers to swiftly pass it into law.
