Buying a franchise may be a more appealing way to get into business rather than starting from scratch.  A franchise purchase includes training, systems and support from the franchisor and history of information from other franchisees in the system.  You’ll hear Chris Coleman, a franchisee himself, and a franchise consultant who helps people find businesses that are a great fit.  

In this workshop you will learn:

  • Evaluating Franchising vs. starting from scratch or purchasing an existing business
  • Pros and Cons of purchasing a Franchise
  • Common Myths & Mistakes people make when researching franchises
  • What Assistance You Should Expect from the Franchisor
  • How to Evaluate the Options and Determine the Best Choice for You
  • Options to Consider to Fund the Purchase
