Aspiring entrepreneurs invited to “unlock the potential of franchising” at upcoming London event

Aspiring and existing business owners alike will have the opportunity to explore the “lucrative world of franchising” at The British & International Franchise Exhibition this summer.

Returning to Olympia London on June 17 and 18, this free event enjoys the exclusive support of the British Franchise Association and is an unmissable opportunity to meet a range of franchise brands and to tap into a wealth of expert advice.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to speak to the teams behind homegrown and international franchise brands including Getir, Tutor Doctor, Little Caesars Pizza, Visiting Angels and Platinum Property Partners to “find the right franchise to suit their budget, interests and ambitions”.

The British Franchise Association (BFA), the industry’s regulatory body, will deliver a series of independent seminars to provide a gateway to the industry. Sessions include ‘An introduction to franchising’, ‘How to evaluate franchise opportunities’ and ‘Taking your next steps in franchising’.

Saturday’s visitors will be treated to a keynote presentation by Tim Lowther, General Manager for Europe & Russia at Carl’s Jr., who will share his expertise on the future of fast-food franchising, a sector which has evolved rapidly over the past two years.

Existing franchisees looking to expand their portfolios will also be able to gain insights from the Multi-unit Franchise Forum & Networking Lunch, sponsored by HSBC, on June 17.

All attendees will be able to tap into a wealth of expert advice from industry professionals. Advisors at the event include specialist lawyers, funding providers, careers experts, franchise consultants and the British Franchise Association – all offering complimentary one-to-one advice.

Tracy Shah, Senior Commercial Director at Venture Marketing Group, the event organisers, commented: “The British & International Franchise Exhibition has helped thousands of visitors find their perfect franchise opportunity. This summer’s event promises to be equally successful.

“We are delighted to be in the heart of the capital at Olympia London to showcase leading franchise brands alongside unparalleled educational content to help aspiring business-owners to unlock the potential of this lucrative business model.”
