LAS VEGAS, March 1, 2023 – The International Franchise Association (IFA) today named Zane Glove, owner of Payroll Vault in Fort Collins, Colorado as a 2023 Franchisee of the Year. Glover was honored at the 63rd IFA Annual Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada, for being an outstanding franchise establishment owner-operator.
“Franchisee of the Year recipients represent the best in franchising,” said Matthew Haller, president and CEO of the International Franchise Association. “This is the highest honor IFA awards to individual franchisees, and local business owners like Zane exemplify the power of franchising and its positive contributions to communities around the world.”
The Franchisee of the Year Award, sponsored by IFA’s partner Paychex, recognizes leading franchise owners from IFA member brands whose outstanding performance and contributions help protect, enhance, and promote the franchise business model. Nominated by their parent company, individuals are selected for their service to their communities, fostering a strong and vibrant workforce, opening the doors for career growth and entrepreneurship, and supporting their fellow franchisees.
Payroll Vault is a local full-service, boutique-style payroll service that focuses on the workforce compliance needs of small businesses. The company’s mission is focused on re-defining payroll and workforce management solutions, complemented with industry leading client service.
“I’m honored to receive this recognition, and it’s a testament to the benefits of a proven business model backed with a strong network of fellow franchisees and leadership. Being a part of the Payroll Vault franchise provides endless opportunity to succeed,” explained Glover.
“Supporting business owners through franchising continues to be equally exciting for us as it is for the entrepreneurs that make up the Payroll Vault system. Every decision we make is made to create a positive impact in our franchisee’s future, as well as the continued growth and strength of our brand,” says Sean Manning, CEO/Founder of Payroll Vault. “Congratulations to Zane for receiving this recognition and leading with his kindness, technical expertise, and peer leadership!”
There are approximately 800,000 franchised businesses across the U.S., providing over 8.4 million direct jobs and generating over $800 billion in economic output. According to Oxford Economics, franchising on average provides higher wages and better benefits than non-franchised businesses, as well as greater entrepreneurial opportunities to minorities, women, veterans, and other underrepresented communities.
