More Than Fast Food & Fries - Why Consider Franchise Ownership in 2018? 

Everyone has a dream of owning their own business and enjoying all that life has to offer. More time for yourself, more time for the family, more time to travel. Franchises provide the playbook for you to execute your business ownership dreams. Statistics show that franchise businesses succeed at a considerably higher rate than do start-up businesses. 

Don’t live under the false impression that franchising is just fast food and it costs a million dollars to get into the game. Find out the real facts from this informative seminar.  Successful franchise owners have strong general business knowledge along with excellent people and communication skills. No prior experience in a specific field is required.  A typical franchise owner will have $50,000 - $75,000 of their own funds to invest and a strong credit history to secure additional financing if needed.

We'll cover:

- What is franchising?
- Factors to consider when selecting a franchise.
- "Hot” trends for today's expanding economy.
- Franchise myths and misconceptions.
- “Where's the money?" Financing your new business.
- Average investment for franchises in Central Ohio
- Strategies for finding the best business system for you and your family.
- How to perform the proper due diligence.
- Building a tangible asset with a franchise.

We’ll cover everything you need to know about investigating business ownership so that you are prepared to make the right decision for you.

Hope to see you there!
