Free Presentation: Operating a Successful Franchise Business

Franchising can be an attractive alternative to starting a business from scratch. But like any business start-up, it requires significant planning and commitment. On Friday, April 24, 2015, the Lehigh Valley chapter of SCORE will offer the seventh in a series of free informal "Round Table" discussions on topics of interest to small business owners, this one focusing on starting and operating a franchise.

The April roundtable will be held in the conference room at Dunkin' Donuts 3670 MacArthur Rd, Whitehall, PA and run from 8:00-9:30 AM. Our subject matter experts will be Mike Furman and Ken Dawson, co-owners of the Lehigh Valley Pridestaff franchise. Our roundtables are offered at no charge, however, advance registration is required. Visit the Lehigh Valley SCORE website at www.lehighvalley.score.org to register or call Tracy Damiani at 610.2663000.

Roundtable discussions will be facilitated by a SCORE member.  Our "subject matter experts" will offer brief introductory comments on the topic and then the session will be open to discussion and questions by the participants.

These roundtables will offer participants an excellent opportunity to meet other small business owners and developers, and to gain valuable insight and information on a variety of topics relevant to small businesses.

While each participant will be given approximately 30 seconds to introduce themselves, and  may share their business card, participants may not distribute any type of marketing materials (brochures, pamphlets, etc).

Registration is limited, so please contact us today.
