Franchise Show set for City

Potential entrepreneurs are encouraged to visit the NEC later this month to learn about new opportunities.

Franchise ShowA new event offering ambitious entrepreneurs opportunities to develop a thriving career as a franchisee takes place at the NEC soon. The National Franchise Exhibition runs on 24th & 25th February 2012 and follows the success of the well-established event in October each year.

The exhibition is the only one of its kind in the region to be supported by the British Franchise Association and only allows franchise companies that have met the Association’s code of ethics to exhibit. Alongside the exhibitors are many exciting free features to provide visitors with a greater understanding of life as a franchisee and the help they need to build a career running their own franchised business successfully.

Experts from the British Franchise Association, members from the legal and finance professions and business advisers will deliver valuable advice and guidance at the conference. Visitors can also attend seminars with a panel of industry leading experts include lawyers, bankers, consultants and franchisors.

Included in the exhibition is the Franchise Starting Point, where those new to the industry can obtain free one-to one advice in order to gather the information needed to make the most of their visit while the Franchisee Panel sees franchisees passing on the benefit of their experience first-hand.

Exclusive to the National Franchise Exhibition are McDonald’s Open Sessions where visitors can gain a unique insight into one of the world’s biggest brands. Presentations take place at 1100 & 1400 on both days of the event and can be booked online at www.franchiseinfo.co.uk.
