Franchise seminars for prospective franchisors

For those looking to franchise their business

• View the one day seminar programme synopsis

For those who have an existing business and are considering using the franchise business model to expand and grow their business, the British Franchise Association (bfa) seminars will provide a platform for you to build a case of considerations, questions and planning needed to take the appropriate steps. As the voice and self regulating body of the franchising industry, the bfa is best placed to educate potential franchisors about the opportunities that franchising can offer.

Developing your business through franchising can provide growth that you couldn’t even dream of through the usual organic growth, but it is not an overnight process. It is vital to plan the process properly, get the right professional advice and have the right support and finance in place to see it through. If done properly this could be one of the most successful strategic decisions that a business makes.

The seminars will help you to consider whether franchising is right for your business and understand the necessary skills and business culture required to be a successful franchise operation. As well as hearing from both a franchisee and a franchisor to gain their perspectives, you will gain further insight into the finance that needs to be raised and the importance of the franchise agreement; a document that will protect your business and allow you to operate effectively as a franchisor. 

Who should attend?

If you are unsure about whether franchising is right for your business or if you are looking to expand, develop or grow and have considered franchising as a method of doing so, this seminar will provide the clarification that you need.
