We work with franchises of all shapes and sizes, nationwide, to help mitigate risk, manage benefits, and provide insurance for proactive protection.

At Associated, we partner with franchisors and franchisees to ensure the entire company is safe, protected, and covered. Your reputation matters, so it's critical everyone representing your company is on the same page with a full understanding of your business model and policies.

As a franchisee, you may or may not have access to insurance options and employee benefits through your franchisor. Navigating through your welcome kit can leave you with questions about compliance, insurance, and the right protection, should a claim hit. We work closely with both franchisors at the top level and franchisees to ensure everyone is protected across the board.

Today’s franchise businesses face many challenges and areas of compliance, including ADA requirements and liability, employee practices liability (which includes protection against harassment and discrimination), and even biometric screening concerns. There are many compliance issues and laws to keep track of on both the corporate level and the franchisee level.
