Nov 13: Fredericksburg Franchise Fair

Every day, successful professionals discover new ways to leverage their years of experience and knowledge by launching a fulfilling entrepreneurial career. A good way to learn about business ownership is at FranNet of Virginia’s Capital Area Franchise Fair, the semi-annual learning event hosted in partnership with the University of Mary Washington Center for Economic Development.

This Thursday, November 13th, the Fair will be making a stop in Fredericksburg from 9:30am-1:30pm. The event provides one-stop shopping for entrepreneurs interested in learning how to find a good business that also fits their financial, professional and personal goals.

Franchises are available in over 90 different industries starting from just $50K. Finding the right fit and a franchise with a solid track record is important for success. Some of the best known franchises have higher than average turnover rates. Most people equate franchise with “fast food;” but many exist that have a higher success rate, require fewer hours and far less start-up funds and generate greater profits.

The Capital Area Franchise Fair will help attendees explore different options and learn about navigating the franchise research and ownership process. Experts will be sharing advice about: the best franchise fit, industry trends, the franchise business model, local regulations affecting franchises, and how to fund a franchise. Also present will be representatives of national and international franchise companies that are expanding in the region.

The Fair will take place at the University of Mary Washington’s Stafford Campus in Fredericksburg. Tickets cost $35 in advance and $45 door. Special discounts are available for veterans – enter code VET50 when registering. To register, visit: www.capitalfranchiseshow.com
