Free entry – to UK’s leading international franchising event for BizHelp readers

The British & International Franchise Exhibition will offer more superb new career opportunities than ever before when it takes place at Olympia, London, on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 March 2011.
With a more extensive range of exhibiting companies from overseas than in previous years, the exhibition reinforces its reputation as the UK’s leading international franchise event.
The extensive conference and seminar programme covers all the important franchise-related topics. They range from the popular bfa seminars such as An Introduction to franchising, to sessions on Families in Franchising, High-level investment franchising and Franchise resales, with several distinguished keynote speakers in both the franchise and Growing Your Own Business events. The International Conference, supported by UK Trade & Investment, discusses both how to launch a franchise in the UK and how to take a UK-based business overseas. It will address many key industry issues including buying a master franchise in the UK and buying an international franchise. The theatres will also host presentations from exhibiting franchisors and the highly successful Franchisee Panels which, due to levels of visitor demand, now takes place throughout the two days. These give visitors the opportunity to hear from inspirational franchisees about their successes, failures and the transition period from employee to a self-employed franchise owner. Other popul ar fe atures include The Franchise Starting Point, helping visi tors new to the concept of franchising to find exhibitors to suit them, and the Business Plan Clinic, sponsored by Lloyds TSB Commercial, which gives advice on how to prepare a plan to raise finance.
