• Networking Luncheon

  When: Thursday, Mar 1, 2012 11:30am
  Where: Colmslie Hotel and Function Centre, Cnr Junction and Wynnum Roads, Morningside

  How and Why Almost Any Business Concept or Idea is Franchisable
  Ever notice that great networkers seem to know a little bit about most things in business and life? If a client, friend or business colleague asked you about the value of franchising a concept or business idea could you confidently participate in a conversation on the issue?
  
  Come along to this luncheon and educate yourself on the subject of franchising and what can and can't be franchised. Most people are surprised to discover that business ideas that have not even turned a profit have actually been successfully franchised.  Franchising can be one the biggest but most rewarding challenges experienced by small business owners. But contrary to popular belief, franchising can be an extremely cost effective and lucrative way to grow a business.
  
  Following an outstanding presentation at one of our networking business luncheons in Sydney, we've invited James Corne to share his expertise and knowledge in Brisbane. The session will cover what criterion makes an existing business or a business idea and concept suited to franchising. What the process of franchising a business involves and the common myths and misconceptions about franchising. More information Ph 1800 052 476
