Topic: Start-up Assistance

5-6 PM - light meal provided with a chance to network before the event starts 6 -8 PM - Franchise ownership as a new career, a side business, or an add-on to your existing business Would you quit your job and go into business for yourself if you knew you could replace or exceed your salary in 2-5 years? Do you already have a business, but you could really use a big, predictable revenue stream? Most people who go into business with the support of a franchise are looking for predictable income and the support from an experienced franchisor. But how do you find the best franchises (for the lowest investment) when there are over 3,000 options to choose from? Topics Covered: - How to significantly increase your chances of success as a franchise owner - How to research franchises - what to look for - Current trends, including franchises that are expanding in Virginia and DC - Examples of semi-absentee and add-on businesses
