Are you looking for a career change? Perhaps you want to get into business for yourself, but don’t know where to begin. All your questions could be answered this weekend at the Brisbane Franchising and Opportunities Expo.
More than 100 exhibitors from across the country will fill the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre. The show kicks off this Saturday, June 1 and Sunday, June 2 for a weekend of franchising festivities and fun.
See fresh ideas, innovative models and established brands showcase their latest opportunities.
Fiona Stacey, exhibition manager said that this year’s expo offers something for everyone.
“Many people come to see traditional franchise formats in the fast food, home services or retail sectors, but there are also growing sectors such as accounting and finance, flexible office space, wellness and fitness,” Stacey said.
“Anyone investing in a small business is taking a risk, however franchised businesses have high rates of longevity and success, with greater brand recognition and the benefit of proven systems.”
Dessert and cocktail bar Cowch will be making their first venture to the expo. The brand will be showing off the decadent fare that has made the flagship outlet in South Bank a success.
Also making its first appearance at the expo is innovative franchise model Celebrity Ink. The tattoo franchise introduces franchisees to the booming body art world, offering the chance to break into the niche sector.
If you already have your eyes on a specific franchise however, the expo can also provide a wealth of knowledge and advice.
