| Event Name: | The British and International Franchise Exhibition 2012 |
| Description: | The British & International Franchise Exhibition can help you start up your own business, from 16-17 March 2012 at Olympia.
Find an established brand with a proven track record - and become your own boss.
If you are considering a change in career direction - you've become disillusioned with your job, because of redundancy, retirement, or you're just looking for a better quality of life - a visit to The British & International Franchise Exhibition should be your next step.
Starting a business with a proven business model and established brand has historically been shown to be more successful in a recession than starting your own independent business.
"Franchised businesses have weathered the recessional storm extremely well, which we should not be surprised about if we look at how franchising has proven itself over the years. The combination of the wider business support, training and economies of scale, with the determination, enterprising nature and local business focus makes franchise businesses a very robust offering. This year has highlighted this particularly well with success rates of franchise businesses not dropping even in the recent recessionary environment."
Brian Smart, director general of the British Franchise Association (bfa), 2010 NatWest/bfa Franchise Survey
The British & International Franchise Exhibition is the only franchise exhibition in London to be supported by the British Franchise Association (bfa) and only allows franchise companies that have met the Association’s code of ethics to exhibit at the event. This means you can be confident in the franchise opportunities presented to you, as they are an ethical entity within the UK market.
Extensive conference
The Conference at The British & International Franchise Exhibition provides you with an opportunity to find out everything you need to know about franchising, from where to start, who you need to talk to, and where to find advice, to which franchise would suit you best.
Featuring experts from the bfa, members from the legal and finance professions, business advisers, as well from both franchisors and franchisees - you will come away equipped with a fundamental grounding, which you can take on your search for that perfect franchise.
