Franchising Expo
The Franchising Expo gives you a chance to learn about working for yourself with the support of an established franchise system. There are free seminars, expert advice and over 100 exhibitors showing the latest business ideas. They include food outlets, home services, gyms, retail stores, mobile franchises and more.
If you are thinking about buying a franchise then the show is a great place to get some ideas. And if you have an existing business you want to franchise then come along and see how everyone else does it. Maybe next time you will be an exhibitor!
This year the show runs in Brisbane in March, Sydney in May and Melbourne in August. For more information contact Rebecca Horsburgh at Specialised Events on 03 9999 5460 or click on the links.
