Women in franchising seminars at The National Franchise Exhibition
2 & 3 October 2009, NEC, Birmingham
Seminar details
Franchisors primarily look for work experience preferably in marketing or sales in their potential franchisees. Most importantly however, is a hardworking and self-motivated attitude which women possess as much as men, and which are transferable to running their own business.
Franchising can also offer opportunities for women seeking flexible working hours in order to supplement a family income or juggle the responsibilities of home and children. Many franchises offer the flexibility to work from home or irregular hours, so there is no need for the usual trade-off between family and business commitments, and therefore provide the perfect work/life balance solution.
