One in five UK adults want to start their own business*. Franchising gives you the opportunity to be your own boss with the added benefit of an established brand, a proven business model, and ongoing training and support.
You can explore your options at the National Franchise Show on 1 and 2 October 2021 at the NEC, Birmingham. This is a great way to assess whether investing in a franchise is right for you.
Attendees will have the opportunity to meet the teams behind over 100 leading franchise brands. There will be a franchise to suit all budgets, interests and ambitions.
A comprehensive program of 60+ free seminars and workshops will also provide essential advice.
The National Franchise Show is exclusively sponsored by British Franchise Association (bfa), who will deliver a series of independent seminars that will provide a gateway to the industry. Sessions include ‘Introduction to Franchising’, ‘How to Evaluate Franchise Opportunities’ and ‘Taking Your Next Steps in Franchising’.
Attendees will also benefit from first-hand accounts from successful franchisees, during the question-and-answer sessions of real franchise stories held each day of the event. Attendees will learn why the panelists chose to invest, what they learned along the way, and their top tips for potential investors.
You will also have the opportunity to book an appointment to speak with one of our expert career coaches. It’s ideal if you’ve recently been made redundant and want to explore your options, are thinking about a career change or want to discuss whether self-employment is right for you. Places are limited so book the session in advance here. Arrange your free 10-minute career talk.
