Melbourne Event Details – Day 1

Our “Is Franchising the Right Growth Strategy?” conference is designed to set out the benefits of franchising for growth as well as the pitfalls.

Our objective is to arm you with the knowledge you require to decide if Franchising is a good fit for YOUR business. We’ll make the case for and against Franchising as a growth strategy, outlining the benefits while ensuring you are aware of the potential risks and costs involved.

Franchising is a tried and tested route to growth, especially for businesses that want to grow quickly with limited resources. It can also be a beneficial strategy for businesses that are looking to expand into new markets or gain access to new customers. However, it’s critical that you understand the key factors you’ll need to consider to make the right decision for YOUR business.

After this one-day, interactive session, you’ll walk away with a clear and actionable framework on how to assess whether Franchising is the right growth strategy – for YOU.

Key Benefits:

  • Take the first step towards understanding the complexities of franchising.
  • Connect with experienced franchise professionals and gain new insights into the franchising model.
  • Learn more about the strategies for franchising success, legal and financial considerations, and marketing strategies for franchising.
  • Gain access to leading experts in the field and learn from their experience and knowledge.
  • Network with other professionals from a variety of industries and learn from their successes and challenges
