High investment franchise opportunities available at leading franchise events

For entrepreneurs looking to invest a significant amount of money, franchising is an attractive option. It is a hugely successful industry that generated a turnover of £13.7 billion in 2013 according to the recent NatWest/bfa survey, with revenues growing 20 per cent since 2008 despite the economic downturn in the same period.

There will be a superb opportunity for visitors to find out more about investment in the world of franchising and what opportunities are available at two leading franchise exhibitions: The National Franchise Exhibition, taking place on 14 & 15 February 2014 at the NEC in Birmingham, and The British & International Franchise Exhibition, at Olympia, London on 14 & 15 March 2014.

A wide variety of franchise companies are exhibiting at the events spanning sectors such as food and drink, property, retail, homecare, finance and fitness. Major names including Anytime Fitness, Chemex International, Driver Hire, McDonalds, Mr Electric, Papa John’s and Quiznos will be in attendance.

Visitors can ensure their time at the exhibitions is spent effectively by planning their day through the appointments booking system at www.franchiseinfo.co.uk. This will enable them to meet specific franchise brands one on one at specific times.

The exhibitions offer many free features to help investors understand more about the process of franchising with experts on hand to answer any questions.

An important feature of both events for those who have significant funds to invest is the High Investment VIP Lounge. This is a designated area where visitors can meet and network with various franchisors in a comfortable environment, and enjoy complimentary drinks and WiFi.

Visitors will benefit from guidance and support given by experts as part of the extensive seminar programme at both exhibitions. It will cover all aspects of franchising including a series of seminars dedicated to high-level investment franchising.

Steve Bolton, the founder of Platinum Property Partners, will look at property as a wealth creating tool and outline the high-return investment models operated by Platinum Property Partners to maximize profitability in ‘How to earn £50,000 - £150,000 per annum from your property portfolio.’

There will also be a high level investment panel seminar at The National Franchise Exhibition and The British & International Franchise Exhibition featuring speakers from Platinum Property Partners, Anytime Fitness and Home Instead Senior Care.

The exhibitions are endorsed by The British Franchise Association (bfa), the regulatory body for franchising in the UK. This means that visitors can be confident in the standards of all the companies exhibiting as they have met the Association’s strict code of ethics.
