THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WAY TO BE AN ENTREPRENEUR!

Learn about the business of Franchising!

Topics covered will include:

What is Franchising? Franchising is a form of business ownership where the purchaser buys the right to operate a franchise of an existing company (ex. McDonald’s). The purchaser/franchisee follows the rules and operations manual of the franchisor. The franchisor supports the franchisee in the form of corporate blueprint, location, financing and usually includes local and national marketing of the franchise. For people who want to own their own a business but don’t know how tackle some of the requirements such as; building a customer base, create a desirable product or service, or be responsible for marketing, franchising offers the opportunity to be part of, and follow, the successful blueprint created by the franchisor.
