Find Out About Franchising
In association with Blue Orchid, FranchisingWorks provides practical help, advice, guidance and funding* to people interested in exploring franchising as a way into self-employment.
Franchising gives individuals an already proven business system, brand and intellectual property along with training and all the equipment required to get started in business from day one. Individuals also get on-going support to help develop and grow their business to success.
FranchisingWorks provides practical help, advice, guidance and funding* to help start a business for yourself, but not by yourself, through franchising. FranchisingWorks can help you to determine whether franchising is right for you, introduce you to suitable franchisors and assist you with your market research and business planning.
*FranchisingWorks has its own unique fund to help meet the start-up costs for successful candidates with insufficient financial resources of their own.
90% of franchise businesses are still operating and are profitable after 5 years, they are therefore a very sustainable, lower risk form of self-employment. Many franchise businesses can be started with little experience, training and cost.
FranchisingWorks runs FREE weekly 'Find Out About Franchising' workshops in Greater Manchester. Each event is very informal and will enable you to get a strong understanding of what franchising is and what it can do for you as a route to ‘supported’ self-employment. Workshops also cover how FranchisingWorks can mentor individuals going forward if they wish to look into franchising further and how to apply for funding.
To book a place, please call 0161 341 0245 or email events@theblueorchid.co.uk
The FranchisingWorks programme is supported by RBS, NESTA, AGMA and New Economy.
