IFPG was ranked No. 1 in the franchise broker category of Entrepreneur's 2026 Top Franchise Suppliers list, marking the organization's eighth consecutive year receiving the honor. The ranking, published in Entrepreneur's September/October issue and online, is based on feedback from more than 1,000 franchise brands assessing suppliers on quality, cost and value. IFPG's recognition comes during a year of expansion that included its acquisitions of Franchise Business Review and Business Alliance Inc., the launch of Franchise Ignition and the development of Franchise Atlas, a platform offering candidate management, brand search and AI-assisted matching tools. Chief Operating Officer Matt Otskey became CEO, while founder Don Daszkowski became Executive Chairman, Head of M&A and Corporate Development. IFPG's annual Retreat was also named a Top Franchise Event by Entrepreneur for the third consecutive year.
