To avoid large file sizes please send any images you would like to upload to your listing to socialmedia@www.fasa.co.za. Our team will resize and upload images for you.
Step 1
You will receive an email from the system to notify you that your account has been set up and you need to change your password. Please proceed and change your password with something memorable. Once changed, you will be asked to log into your account.

Tips on completing the directory listing
Content
- Use easy to understand language and avoid industry terminology.
- If you are a franchise, keep information simple but thorough, so that a potential franchisee will be encouraged to contact you about your franchise opportunity.
- If you are a franchise, COMPLETE the financial section, it is a required field otherwise the listing will not submit and you may lose information when you try to submit your form. The form will not submit if you do not complete this field.
- As a service provider or goods supplier member you can use the option of tags whereby you can add specialist services, e.g. compliance, franchise agreements, funding, lighting supplies, juice supplies, spices, copy writing etc.
Images and videos
Please make sure your images are good quality. To avoid large file sizes please send any images you would like to upload to your listing to socialmedia@www.fasa.co.za. Our team will resize and upload images for you.
- Submit images of team members, store openings, awards you’ve won, etc.
- For videos, the system will ask you for a YouTube url or a vimeo user to upload videos. PLEASE INSERT THE FULL URL
Reviews and Testimonials
Once your listing is published in the directory, you can send the link to your franchisees or clients and ask them to submit a testimonial or write a review of your service offering or franchise business.
And lastly
Once you’ve submitted your listing, it will be held in pending for review by one of FASA’s team members who will be in contact with you for any changes should there be any thereafter your listing will be published. As long as you’ve completed the required fields, you can submit at anytime and come back to complete the rest of your listing. All information will be saved on the system.
