Franchises are available in over 90 different industries that fit a variety of budgets and interests. Finding the right fit is important for success. Most people equate franchise with “fast food;” but many exist that require fewer hours and far less start-up funds and generate greater profits. That’s why the Capital Area Franchise Fair, hosted by FranNet of Virginia, will help attendees explore different options and learn about navigating the franchise research and ownership process.
Tickets cost $35 ($45 at the door). Register at http://www.CapitalFranchiseShow.com. For questions, contact Heather Rosen at 703-291-0939 or hrosen@frannet.com.
