At Franchise Fame, we are proud to have been named Best Franchise Marketing Specialists 2025 by the SME Business Elite Awards, hosted by SME News.
This recognition marks a significant milestone for us, emphasising our reputation for innovation, dedication and excellence in the franchise marketing sector.
Now in its seventh year, the SME Business Elite Awards are one of the UK’s most respected accolades for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
The programme, which launched in 2018, exists to spotlight high-performing SMEs that drive industry progress, deliver exceptional services and exemplify what it means to be a successful enterprise in today’s competitive business environment.
SME News Celebrates the Heroes of Small UK Businesses
While large and international corporations often dominate headlines, SME News believes that the backbone of the UK economy lies in its vibrant SME community.
The Business Elite Awards seek to redress this imbalance by shining a well-deserved spotlight on the UK’s most dynamic and dedicated small and medium-sized businesses.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to receive this award,” said our Founder and CEO Dani Peleva. “Being recognised by SME News as the Best Franchise Marketing Specialists for 2025 is not just a reflection of our hard work. It’s also a proof to our clients’ trust and the remarkable results we’ve achieved together.”
Award Criteria: A Strong Focus on Integrity and Excellence
Each year, the SME Business Elite Awards are judged through a rigorous and impartial process conducted by SME News’ in-house research team.
Candidates are assessed using a comprehensive and merit-based system that considers the quality of service, client dedication, innovation, business growth and industry impact.
Notably, all businesses, regardless of their size or history, are evaluated on equal footing, ensuring that every nominee has a fair opportunity to shine.
