Why visit?
"Face to face meetings early in the process at an event like this are vital for franchisors and franchisees to test and build relationships. I recommend prospective franchisees to come along to future exhibitions."
Over 100 proven franchised businesses
Over 40 seminars
Exclusive support from the British Franchise Association (bfa)
If you are considering a change in career direction - you've become disillusioned with your job, because of redundancy, retirement, or you're just looking for a better quality of life - a visit to The British & International Franchise Exhibition should be your next step.
Starting a business with a proven business model and established brand has historically been shown to be more successful in a recession than starting your own independent business.
Exclusive support by the British Franchise Association (bfa)
The The British & International Franchise Exhibition is the only franchise exhibition in Birmingham to be supported by the British Franchise Association (bfa) and only allows franchise companies that have met the Association’s code of ethics to exhibit at the event. This means you can be confident in the franchise opportunities presented to you, as they are an ethical entity within the UK market.
Extensive conference
The Conference at The British & International Franchise Exhibition provides you with an opportunity to find out everything you need to know about franchising, from where to start, who you need to talk to, and where to find advice, to which franchise would suit you best.
Featuring experts from the bfa, members from the legal and finance professions, business advisers and keynotes, as well as both franchisors and franchisees – you will come away equipped with a fundamental grounding, which you can take on your search for that perfect franchise.
