What You Need to Know About Franchising Your Business
How to get your business ready for franchising, what it takes to launch a start-up franchise from legal to operational issues, and how to figure out if this is really a path you want.
Designed for business owners who are considering franchising, this seminar by a bar-certified specialist in Franchise & Distribution Law will cover the most frequently asked questions and the nuts and bolts of launching a start-up franchise system, including:
- What is a franchise, and am I better off just licensing my business name?
- If I want to sell franchises everywhere, what laws do I need to know about?
- What are the things I should be working on now if I plan to franchise in the future?
- What does a “standard” franchise system look like?
- How much time and money will I have to invest to get started?
- What challenges should I anticipate?
- How do I know if my business is ready?
