Workshop: Exploring Business Ownership - Franchising

Buying a franchise may be a more appealing way to get into business rather than starting from scratch.  A franchise purchase includes training, systems, and support from the franchisor and history of information from other franchisees in the system.  You’ll hear Chris Coleman, a franchisee himself, and a franchise consultant who helps people find businesses that are a great fit.  

In this workshop you will learn:

• Evaluating Franchising vs. starting from scratch or purchasing an existing business
• Pros and Cons of purchasing a Franchise
• Common Myths & Mistakes people make when researching franchises
• What Assistance You Should Expect from the Franchisor
• How to Evaluate the Options and Determine the Best Choice for You
• Options to Consider to Fund the Purchase
