The Road to Self-Employment: Exploring Options in Franchising
A good franchise system offers a successful business model, proven methods and best practices that make the change to self-employment easier than starting a business completely on your own. That is why studies show that franchises succeed at a much higher rate than traditional start-ups.
This franchise track, however, is not for everyone. This workshop will help you decide if a franchise business is compatible with your personal capabilities and financial aspirations, and if could be a viable path forward to reach your goals. You’ll gain the skills, knowledge and confidence to explore the opportunities that are right for you.
Also, discover the best kept secrets on where the money is, how people are funding their busineses and how you can too.
At the end of this lively and informative workshop, you will:
- Answer 20 key questions to determine if franchising can work for you
- Get clear on common misperceptions and the truth about franchising as a career alternative and/or investment strategy
- Learn how to investigate a franchise network & avoiding novice mistakes
- Know the sectors and trends that are hot and what to avoid
- Get your free copy of the best-seller “The Franchise MBA” by Nick Neonakis
Who should attend?
Those who are exploring small business ownership and are considering franchising opportunities, anyone with concerns about job security and those seeking smart investment options.
Join us for this interactive and valuable workshop.
After the workshop, put the training to work by scheduling a free follow up appointment with a SCORENYC mentor.
