The Virginia Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity, in
partnership with Powhatan Chamber of Commerce, invites you to attend
Franchising 101. This workshop all about franchising features speaker,
Heather Rosen, the president of FranNet of Virginia and D.C., a franchise
advisory and development services firm with 50+ offices in North America.
Starting a business through a franchise is often the shortest path to
profitability, and some require as little as $50K to start and simply operate
out of a home office – with no food and no retail space to rent. But how do
you find the good ones and not pay too much (or too little) for your
business? Learn everything from how to find the right franchise for you, to
which state and local regulations you must be aware of before signing a
franchise agreement, to which franchises do well (and don’t do well) in your
region. We will also discuss funding options.
