Meeting the teams behind the brands is also a fundamental part of assessing whether a franchise is a suitable fit – this will be a medium- to long-term working relationship and it’s essential that the franchisee and franchisor can establish an affinity early on.
Phil Mowat, national partnerships manager at ActionCOACH UK, comments: “There’s nothing like meeting people in person and having a real chat so visitors can gain a better understanding of our brand, and for us to find out more about them, too. They’ll gain so much more than they would from an email or an online video.”
As well as offering the chance to
explore options across a broad range of sectors and business types, The National Franchise Exhibition has been designed to offer a combination of practical advice and inspiration to help would-be entrepreneurs achieve their goal of business ownership. Matt Markham and his wife attended The National Franchise Exhibition in 2016
and subsequently invested in a franchise with lettings and sales agency EweMove. Matt says: “Though my wife and I visited the exhibition to meet face to face with franchise brands, we actually gained a lot more from our attendance. “We benefited from some essential advice on our business plan, as well as guidance on the funding options available. It was invaluable being able to carry out so much due diligence under one roof and meant we were able to pursue and open our dream franchise in the quickest time possible.” A programme of more than 40 information-packed seminars and workshops addresses every stage of the franchising journey. The bfa will host seminars designed to provide transparent insights into the fundamentals of the world of franchising for anyone new to the concept. Also on offer is a series of enlightening presentations for those considering high-investment franchises. Anyone who has established their own
