Fancy being your own boss?
The UK’s largest franchise event, the National Franchise Exhibition, is returning to the NEC on 4th & 5th October, giving entrepreneurs the chance to discover a range of business opportunities and meet franchise companies face to face.
Visitors will also be able to receive advice from industry leaders, as well as attend informative franchising seminars throughout both days. These will be on all aspects of franchising and include several presentations run by The British Franchise Association (bfa) from ‘An introduction to Franchising’, for those just starting out, to ‘Essential tips for franchising your business’ for existing business owners. These seminars consist of a panel of industry leading experts including lawyers, bankers, consultants and the franchisors themselves.
There will be more than 140 exhibitors at the event offering business opportunities across a broad spectrum of sectors such as food and drink, retail, property, homecare, fitness and finance. Many major franchised businesses will be present including: McDonald’s, Cash Converters, Guinot, thebestof, The Creation Station, Belvoir Lettings, Mail Boxes Etc., Anytime Fitness and many more from the UK and around the world.
The key to success in raising finance lies in the business plan and is an essential part of the finance process. Those who bring a business plan along to the event, no matter what stage they are at, will receive free advice on their plan, taking them one step closer to receiving a business loan.
A day out at The National Franchise Exhibition can also be fun for the whole family as there is a Children’s Activity Centre at the event, hosted by ‘The Creation Station.’ Children, along with a family member, will be able to play with imaginative arts and crafts whilst other members of the group can explore the exhibition.
The National Franchise Exhibition is supported by the British Franchise Association (bfa). This means visitors can be confident in the franchise opportunities presented to them as they have passed the bfa’s strict code of ethics.
The National Franchise Exhibition is open from 10am each day, closing at 5pm on Friday 4th October and 4pm on Saturday 5th October 2013.
