Want to Own a Business but Don’t Know What? Consider Franchising!

Many people would like the benefits of owning their own business; more flexibility, control, financial reward, building equity and fulfillment but get stuck because they don’t have the next big idea like Facebook or Uber.

Business ownership through franchising can be the solution. There are thousands of franchise businesses and most franchises have nothing to do with french fries or sandwiches.

Franchising is being in business for yourself but not by yourself. The challenge is finding a business that matches your skills, budget and desired outcomes. Join us to see if owning a franchise business is an alternative for you.

In this comprehensive workshop, you will learn:

What is franchising?
What are the real costs?
What are my financing options?
Who is and is not a good candidate for franchise ownership?
How do I make a safe and wise decision?
What research is necessary when looking at a franchise business?
How to assess the risk involved in business ownership vs. a traditional career path or starting a business from scratch?
