SHOW GUIDE
event illustrates, the franchise industry continues to mould to the needs of today. There are so many possibilities open to aspiring and existing business owners to find a venture that suits their passions, working style, personal commitments, and their long-term ambitions. "The National Franchise Exhibition is
the perfect place to explore the range of options available, with the peace of mind that all the exhibiting brands have demonstrated to us that they adhere to certain standards and values." Franchising is more accessible than
ever, and visitors can meet businesses offering investment levels starting at under £10,000 at the Low-cost Showcase. Nowadays, the selection of businesses requiring low investment levels is extensive, reaching beyond van-based operations to business-to-business services, children’s activities, photography, confectionery and more. Those hoping to become part of the global success story that is McDonald’s should register for the exclusive Franchisee Recruitment Insight Sessions, where McDonald’s will reveal the demands and rewards of being one of its valued franchisees. Another opportunity to research being a franchisee of a globally known brand can be found at the Vodafone Partner Discovery Zone, where members of the Vodafone franchising team will be ready to discuss the available
opportunities to own and operate one or more Vodafone stores. In addition to discovering brands and talking to their teams, visitors are encouraged to take advantage of the programme of seminars and workshops on offer across the two days. The bfa will host a series of seminars
covering the fundamentals of franchising, as well as the Real Franchise Stories panel sessions where audiences can hear direct from existing franchisees about the realities of launching and operating a franchise business. Franchising experts will explain how to
franchise an existing business as a route to expansion, and a selection of exhibitors will host presentations about how their franchise networks operate. The long-term success of any business
is down to successful growth, and the Growing Your Own Business Conference, which runs parallel with the exhibition, offers seminars covering business planning, optimal sales tactics, and accessing business finance. Success with one or more franchises
will often lead to a desire to expand further, and the Multi-unit Franchise Conference has been designed to offer crucial insights and networking opportunities to existing franchisees with this ambition. Sponsored by HSBC and co-located with the exhibition, the conference runs on Friday 4 October. Delegates will
