 A Free Presentation:

Is Franchising for You? 

For many people wanting to own their own business, franchising may be a good option. But the skills and experience required to operate a franchise are quite different from those needed to start your own independent venture.  On Friday, October 30, 2015, The Lehigh Valley Chapter of SCORE will offer another in a series of free informal "Round Table" discussions on topics of interest to small business owners with this one focusing on what it takes to be a successful franchise owner.

The October roundtable will be held in the conference room at Dunkin' Donuts, 3670 MacArthur Rd, Whitehall, PA and run from 8:00-9:30AM.  Our subject matter expert will be Jeff Schonberg, Director of Franchise Development at        F-O-R-T-U-N-E Franchise Corporation. Prior to his current role, Jeff was a franchise owner himself and has experience in all aspects of running a franchise operation.  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" expert 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 business.

While each partcipant 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!
