Congratulations to 2025 CFE Graduate, Michael Silva-Nash, CFE! “It is critical that we, as franchisors, have a strong foundation and deep, intimate understanding of franchising and best practices for supporting our franchisees. We are a resource to small business owners, and we must be well versed in franchise law, strategy, marketing, operations and much more. The CFE accreditation is critical in being well rounded in all these areas. Having previously been a Molly Maid Franchisee for twelve years, I have a great appreciation for the CFE certification and how it sets you up for success and that of your franchisees.”
