Visit the National Franchise Exhibition at NEC Birmingham 3 & 4 October 2014

Are you looking for a career change, to run your own venture, or to find a new approach to your business life? Consider the advantages of Franchising – supported self-employment. These are not widely known. As a franchisee, you can develop your own enterprise, within the knowledge-bank of a reputable, thriving and established organisation. The success rate has been shown to outstrip conventional self-employment by a long way.

On Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th October, there is a unique opportunity to investigate Franchising at the National Franchise Exhibition, at the NEC Birmingham, the largest franchise event in the UK. A wide range of franchises will be presented, including business-to-business, food and drink, retailing, cleaning, caring, property and automotive services. Wherever your skills and interests lie – there’s a business to suit you.

Real Franchise Stories
Put your questions to a panel of franchisees to find out why they decided to buy a franchise and what it’s really like to run your own business. Auditel Franchisee Debbie Davies will be on Friday’s panel at 1.15 pm and will be delighted to meet you.

Franchise Talks
Listen to a range of in-depth talks from franchised businesses, consultants and experts. Find out what franchisors look for in a prospective franchisee. Auditel’s Managing Director, Chris Allison, will be presenting ‘In Business for Yourself but not by Yourself’ on Friday at 1 pm. This is not to be missed!

Finance Clinic
You can get advice to how best to raise funds for any additional finance you might need to invest in your franchise.

British Franchising Association (bfa) Franchising Seminars
These hour-long exclusive bfa seminars will cover all aspects of franchising. A panel of industry-leading experts including lawyers, bankers, consultants and franchisors will talk about their subject and answer your questions.

After visiting an exhibition…
Ali Ghani joined the Auditel Cost Management Franchise after visiting a franchise exhibition. He was a Business Development Consultant for a variety of media companies and wanted to run his own business. He decided to take up a franchise. He explains: "Auditel’s business model is proven, robust, and lucrative. They have been established for a long period of time with full British Franchise Association (bfa) membership. The company's financial performance has been fantastic. The network has grown to over two hundred Affiliates and the software and tools are exceptional!

“But above all, the real reason that I chose Auditel is because of their values and the culture of the organisation. It's a very, very important and daunting decision to make, but I never felt pressured. They actively encouraged me to look at all the other options, the market and the competition. The training was comprehensive, inspiring and an excellent foundation for client meetings and acquisition!”

Matt Sidwell, Auditel’s Network Development Director for the UK and Ireland, says: “If like Ali, you are exploring ways to expand your horizon, visit this exhibition and drop in to meet us on Stand E280!”

About Auditel: Established in 1994, Auditel is the UK and Ireland’s favourite cost management franchise opportunity. Auditel Affiliates renew their franchises after 5, 10 and now 15 years due to consistently achieving their financial goals and the quality of life they want.
