Importance of attending a Franchise Exhibition

A franchise exhibition allows you to communicate at will with brands from varying sectors and to truly better understand their respective offerings. Franchise Exhibitions are the perfect platform for you as a potential franchisee to collect and compare vital information from the vast array of franchise brands on show. There will be brands covering all sectors, from fast food franchises and estate agent franchises to pet care and accountancy franchise opportunities.

Franchise Events such as shows and exhibitions also give you an insight into the type of person you’ll be working with (Franchisor), first impression is everything! You need to ensure you feel comfortable enough to engage in working relationship with this organisation as the Franchise Agreement is a document that will contain many sanctions on the franchisee (You) if things were to go wrong.

Visiting franchise exhibitions such as The Franchise Show at Excel on the 16th and 17th February 2018 will allow you to narrow your search, you never truly know what is it you want.

It’s not just the franchises you’ll be keen to meet and discuss with, franchise exhibitions such as The Franchise Show also provide advice and guidance stands from banks, accountants, franchise lawyers and other franchise bodies that are there to support the incoming franchisee. It’s crucial that you do speak with the big banks at these franchise shows as they ultimately want to lend you money to start your own business and can supply you with your personal borrowing power. This then allows you to narrow down your franchise search!

Franchise Exhibitions are not simply just about stands, far from it. Well organised events such as The Franchise Show will host regular seminars, talks and Q&A panel events hosted by franchisors, franchisees, banks and consultants to name a few. We would strongly advice you taking 30 minutes to sit down and take in one of these slots, it’ll help you better understand the processes and what it’s really like to be a franchisee. They simply provide you with the opportunity to gain a valuable insight into franchising from the point of view of both franchisees and the franchisor.

If you are visiting The Franchise Show this February, then make sure you come over and say Hello to the Franchise Supermarket team on Stand 420. We look forward to meeting you.

Great piece. Franchise exhibitions are a must for anyone considering franchising. I'll be going to a few myself this year.
