Australian franchise brand Pack & Send is just one of the international exhibitors participating in the upcoming Franchising & Licensing Asia (FLAsia 2009) expo and conference.

Franchise systems from Australia, Canada, Indonesia, India, Japan, Malaysia, the UK and the US will join local franchisors at this yearÕs event from 15 to 17 October 2009 at Level 4, Suntec Singapore International Convention & Exhibition Centre.

For the first time, FLAsia 2009 will be the launch pad for SingaporeÕs first Certified Franchise Executive (CFE) Program offering franchising professionals in Singapore the opportunity to learn, grow professionally and reach a recognized standard of excellence amongst the franchising community.

“Franchising still remains a low-risk alternative for companies looking to expand overseas and for individuals who want to fan the fires of entrepreneurship,” said Douglas Foo, chairman, FLA Singapore.
