Free franchising advice and information at the Franchising & Business Opportunities Expo - Franchise Show

The Franchising & Business Opportunities Expo - Franchise Show presents many opportunities for those researching franchises, or about to make their new business decision, to receive free franchising advice and information.

The franchise Advice Centre is where potential franchisees and franchisors can get important information on the franchising process, such as free legal and financial advice. Appointments with specialist lawyers and franchise bankers can be made on arrival at the Franchising & Business Opportunities Expo.

The Franchising Seminar Theatre is where Expo visitors can hear experts in open panel discussion on franchising a business, and talking on topics such as tax tips and traps in buying a small business and what should be considered when financing a business.

First time franchisees can invest 90 minutes in one of The Franchising & Business Opportunities Expo's Franchising Bootcamp's, a presentation on the franchising basic code of conduct, legalities and financial set-up. These also include an open discussion where visitors can ask franchisees about starting a franchise and learn from their experiences.

Also available is a Government Information for Business section where visitors can talk to government bodies for information and assistance in starting, building or growing a business. From preparing a business plan to understanding rights and obligations as a business owner, it can be found at the Government Information for Business section at The Franchising & Business Expo.
