The Franchising Expo is the event that gives everyday Australians the opportunity to learn about working for themselves, and next year it gets a fresh new look and sister show.
“If you are thinking of getting into your own small business then franchising could be the easiest path to success” says Exhibition Manager Fiona Stacey.
“Working for yourself is a great way to achieve financial security and life balance. For many people it is a life ambition. But starting a business from scratch is really challenging. Buying a franchise means you get an established brand, marketing, system and support. You own the business but have a whole support team behind you”.
The Franchising Expo has been running for almost 40 years and provides visitors with the chance to research the market and compare different options. There are free seminars, free advice and over 100 exhibitors showcasing their individual business opportunities.
Next year the show is running in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, and will be bigger and better than ever. Stacey says “there is a huge amount of interest in working for yourself. We are taking this chance to expand the show with a lot more exhibitors and workshops”.
Perhaps the most exciting development is the launch of the Start Your Own Business Expo which will run right alongside the current show. It will cater to entrepreneurs who want to launch and grow their own small business. There will be a wide range of services to help them on their journey.
Stacey says the two shows will complement each other. “The common factor is people who want to run their own business. I am sure many people who are thinking about a brand-new concept will also have a look at the franchising options while they are there.
“Running your own business is not just about the money. It is about taking control of your destiny, having more flexibility and building a legacy for you and your family. I really love this show. Helping someone turn their dreams into reality is a real privilege”.
The Franchising Expo and Start Your Own Business Expo will run together in Sydney from 24-25 May, Brisbane from 26-27 July and Melbourne from 30-31 August. Stand bookings are now open. For information call 03 9999 5460 or visit www.franchisingexpo.com.au
