Art of Franchising Launches Pro-Bono and Profit-Share Program to Strengthen Franchise Sector in the Philippines

Published

on

Singapore, Singapore, Singapore, 8th May 2025 – Art of Franchising (AoF), the specialist franchising consultancy division of Eccelerate PTE LTD, today announced the launch of a new partnership profit-share model and pro-bono initiative aimed at supporting the continued growth and long-term success of the franchising industry in the Philippines.

 

Art of Franchising Launches Pro-Bono and Profit-Share Program to Strengthen Franchise Sector in the Philippines

 

Founded in 2021 by Aaron Yeo (Chief Strategy Officer), Wayne Yia (Chief Financial Officer), and Edmund Chan (Chief Investment Officer), Eccelerate PTE LTD established the Art-of-Franchising (AoF) brand in 2024 to focus exclusively on franchising consultancy. With franchising contributing 7.8% to the Philippines’ GDP and employing approximately two million people (International Trade Administration, 2022), the sector remains a dynamic and vital component of the country’s economy.

“We recognize the incredible entrepreneurial spirit within the Philippines,” said Aaron Yeo, Chief Strategy Officer at AoF. “However, like all fast-growing sectors, there are challenges that come with rapid expansion. Our goal is to provide entrepreneurs with the right foundation to ensure they are positioned for sustainable, long-term success.”

To address common hurdles faced by emerging franchisors, AoF is introducing a partnership-based model that aligns the firm’s success with that of its clients. Rather than charging heavy upfront consultancy fees, AoF invests its expertise and resources alongside franchise owners, tying their success directly to client outcomes. Select businesses will also benefit from pro-bono services, offering additional support to promising enterprises that demonstrate exceptional potential.

“By structuring our relationships around mutual success, we ensure that our goals are fully aligned with our clients,” said Wayne Yia, Chief Financial Officer at AoF. “If the franchise succeeds, we all succeed. This approach fosters transparency, quality, and lasting partnerships — while also reducing initial costs for entrepreneurs.”

According to industry studies, newer franchise systems worldwide often face higher closure risks, largely due to issues such as business model, unit economics, and scalability. AoF’s strategy is designed to address these areas by focusing on robust business foundations, careful system development, and strategic growth planning.

“Our method prioritizes building businesses that are profitable, scalable, and ready for franchise expansion,” said Edmund Chan, Chief Investment Officer at AoF. “We are committed to tailoring our support specifically for the Philippine market, respecting its unique dynamics and vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem.”

Backed by their industry partners, AoF has supported over 1,000 franchises in Singapore & Asia, many of which have grown into multinational corporations or public companies. Their services include online franchise courses, a full franchise development program, business model redesign, strategic investor and valuation preparation — all crafted to foster growth and stability.

In addition to its standard offerings, AoF will offer pro-bono consultancy to a select group of high-potential businesses each year, helping more entrepreneurs access expert support without financial barriers.

“The Philippines has an exciting future ahead in franchising,” added Edmund Chan. “Our goal is to help entrepreneurs maximize their opportunities through structured support, proven systems, and dedicated partnership. Even for businesses not yet ready for franchising, we offer pathways to growth through connections to investors and additional business development support.”

Digital Finance Academy to Launch Global Talent Hubs in Strategic University Partnerships
Empowering the Next Generation of FinTech and AI Innovators

In an era where digital transformation is redefining the global financial ecosystem, the Digital Finance Academy (DFA) is taking bold strides to expand its impact beyond borders. Founded in 2019, DFA has been a pioneer in delivering forward-looking education in financial technology, consistently equipping professionals with the skills to thrive in the rapidly evolving FinTech space.

Now, DFA is announcing its global initiative to establish international talent development centers in partnership with leading universities worldwide. These centers will serve as powerful incubators for cultivating the next wave of FinTech and AI innovators—individuals who will not only understand finance but will also shape its future using advanced technologies.

A Vision Rooted in Innovation

DFA’s core philosophy, “Empowering the Future of Finance,” continues to guide its ambitious mission. With a robust curriculum that bridges classical financial knowledge and next-generation technologies—such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and automated trading—DFA is uniquely positioned to offer students and professionals a comprehensive, practical, and scalable learning experience.

The upcoming global expansion underscores DFA’s belief that the future of financial innovation depends on access to quality education and strong institutional alliances. By collaborating with top-tier academic institutions, DFA aims to integrate real-world FinTech practices into university-level programs, fostering a seamless pipeline of tech-savvy finance professionals.

Building Global Talent Hubs

Each DFA Talent Development Center will be strategically located within a partner university campus. These hubs will:

Train students in financial technologies, AI programming, and investment automation

Provide hands-on labs and simulators for trading and AI modeling

Host global FinTech competitions, research projects, and accelerator programs

Offer certifications jointly issued by DFA and the partnering institution

This model ensures students gain exposure to real-world challenges and cutting-edge tools, preparing them not just for employment, but for leadership and innovation within the digital economy.

Addressing a Critical Market Need

With digital assets, decentralized finance (DeFi), and algorithmic trading becoming mainstream, the financial industry faces an urgent demand for professionals who understand both technology and capital markets. DFA’s initiative directly addresses this talent gap by cultivating multidisciplinary experts capable of developing intelligent investment platforms, AI-driven advisory services, and robust FinTech infrastructures.

“The future of finance isn’t just digital—it’s intelligent,” says DFA’s Director of Global Partnerships. “We are creating a global network of thinkers, builders, and innovators who will lead the charge in investment technology and AI solutions.”

A Call to Academic and Industry Collaboration

DFA invites universities, governments, and financial institutions to join this mission of transforming financial education for the digital age. By fostering an ecosystem of learning, research, and entrepreneurship, the Academy aims to lay the groundwork for a smarter, more inclusive financial future.

As DFA gears up for this international rollout, the Academy is not just training students—it is shaping the architects of tomorrow’s financial systems.
