It's London show time

London's premier franchise event will bring a host of opportunities to Olympia

 

The British & International Franchise Exhibition, well-established as the capital's major franchise event and the only London exhibition endorsed by the British Franchise Association (bfa), will bring a vast range of new career opportunities to Olympia, London, on Friday 19 and Saturday 20 March 2010.

 Featuring a host of new and leading franchise industry businesses, valuable conference presentations and helpful experts from banks, accountants and lawyers, the event will provide aspiring business owners with all the knowledge they need to take a major step forward into a new venture.

 A must for anyone looking for their next challenge, The British & International Franchise Exhibition will only feature franchises that have been bfa-accredited in accordance with its code of ethical franchising. This means all companies at the event have proven to be a viable enterprise and reputable company within the industry, and visitors can be confident in all franchise opportunities presented to them.

 An event for people with all levels of franchising knowledge, the exhibition will feature a range of initiatives designed to help provide a comprehensive insight into all the fundamental aspects of franchising.
 The extensive conference programme, with several keynotes speakers, will cover the key franchise-related topics including couples in franchising, high level investment franchising; franchise resales; management in franchising, hands-on franchising, women in franchising, franchising your business and Growing Your Own Business.

The International Conference, sponsored by the UKTI, will discuss both how to launch a franchise in the UK and how to take a UK-based franchise overseas. The bfa will also address the key trends, benefits and challenges associated with franchising.

 Other features at the exhibition include The Franchise Starting Point, based on the Business Franchise magazine stand, which will be dedicated to helping visitors completely new to the concept of franchising; and the ever-popular Franchisee Panel facilitated by whichfranchise.com that offers visitors the opportunity to hear from franchisees about their success, failures and transition periods from employee to a self-employed franchise owner.

"The British & International Franchise Exhibition is an ideal starting point for anyone interested in becoming part of this successful industry," said Mike Seaman, Franchise Portfolio Manager at Venture Marketing Group, organisers of The British & International Franchise Exhibition.

The British & International Franchise Exhibition is open from 10am each day, closing at 5pm on Friday 19 March and 4pm on Saturday 20 March 2010.
