The recognition follows a period of aggressive expansion for the organization. In 2026, IFPG completed the acquisitions of research firm Franchise Business Review and brokerage network Business Alliance Inc. These moves were accompanied by the launch of two proprietary platforms: Franchise Ignition, a lead-generation marketing tool, and Franchise Atlas, which utilizes AI-assisted matching to streamline candidate and brand searches.

IFPG Secures Top Franchise Broker Spot in 2026 Entrepreneur Ranking
For the eighth consecutive year, the International Franchise Professionals Group has secured the number one spot in the franchise broker category of Entrepreneur magazine’s annual Top Franchise Suppliers list, an honor determined by direct feedback from over 1,000 franchise brands regarding service quality, cost, and value.
Leadership changes have also marked the current fiscal year. Founder Don Daszkowski transitioned to the role of Executive Chairman and Head of M&A, while former Chief Operating Officer Matt Otskey stepped into the CEO position. Under this new structure, the firm is prioritizing deeper integration of agentic AI into its consultant workflows. Beyond the primary broker ranking, the group's annual conference, the IFPG Retreat, earned recognition as a Top Franchise Event for the third year running, underscoring the organization's focus on networking and community development within the franchising sector.
