The magic numbers

elcome to this issue – Spring 2023! As ever, we're looking forward to
helping aspiring entreprenuers meet the ideal brand to partner with and discover rewarding ways to build a business. On page 18, our franchise
expert notes that, in what are proving to be turbulent times, franchising is still proving its resilience, just as it has over the
last few years, during upheavals caused by the Covid pandemic. What makes franchising an often bullet-proof option? Here's my top 5 reasons: a supportive network, comprehensive training, knowledge and experience, a tried-and-tested model and a trusted, recognised brand name. That's just a handful of the many evergreen factors contributing to the franchise industry's continued success. I've got another set of magic numbers for you – 9 & 10 ... of June, that is, when The British & International Franchise Exhibition returns to Olympia London bringing a wealth of expert advice, a comprehensive presentation programme and a variety of top-drawer franchise brands showcasing their business opportunities. Turn to page 16 to meet some of the brands that will be exhibiting. We look forward to seeing you there!
