O


n 3 & 4 October, The National Franchise Exhibition will once again invite aspiring


entrepreneurs to discover their next venture. The UK’s flagship franchise event will showcase over 100 brands catering to all budgets, interests and ambitions, including: McDonald’s, Snap Fitness, Greene King, OVO Solar & Heating, and many others. This is a unique opportunity to meet the people behind leading franchise brands, learn more about the business model and discover the wide range of opportunities the sector presents. The event is exclusively supported by


the British Franchise Association (BFA) who will host a series of panel discussions to provide a gateway to the industry for those considering investing in a franchise or franchising an existing business. Visitors will have access to over 50 free educational talks across two days – covering everything from accessing finance to the legalities of investing in a franchise. This year’s keynote will be delivered


by pioneering serial entrepreneur Jo Fairley, co-founder of the world’s first organic chocolate brand, Green & Black’s.


Jo’s journey is a masterclass in vision, innovation and brand-building. Her keynote, ‘7 secrets for every successful business’ promises to share proven strategies that will help aspiring business owners to take the next step and achieve long-term success. Other event highlights include the


ever-popular McDonald’s Insights Sessions which shed light on what it takes to be part of one of the world’s biggest brands, and the brand-new Finance Zone, featuring leading banks alongside specialist franchise funding providers to help you understand your options. There will also be a range of industry experts, including the BFA, on hand to offer free, impartial advice on all aspects of franchising. Existing franchisees with ambitions


to expand their portfolio should register for the Multi-unit Franchise Conference. Established multi-unit operators and representatives from brands including Black Sheep Coffee, Anytime Fitness and Subway will share their secrets to building a franchise empire. Running for more than 30 years,


The Franchise Exhibitions have helped BUSINESSFRANCHISE.COM 39


thousands of people find their perfect franchise opportunity. Jed Wortmann, a franchisee who met More Than Loft Ladders at last year's event, offers this advice to all visitors: “Take a notebook, ask loads of questions, and don’t be afraid to follow up after the show. If something stands out – trust your gut and explore it.”
