Want to Own Your Own Business?

Buying a Franchise is a Safer and Easier Option

Well recognised and successful businesses such as McDonalds, Prontaprint, Molly Maid, Thorntons, Pizza Hut, Domino's and many, many more are often run and owned by independent business people.

So if you want to be your own boss, there are many franchised businesses that could be owned and run by people like you!

Learn More About Franchising

BFA ScotlandTo assist you in your evaluation of franchising, Business Gateway and the Franchise Group for Scotland have put together a series of free seminars running throughout Scotland.

At these seminars you will hear from franchisees, franchisors and leading industry experts.

All seminars start at 9.15am and run until 3.45pm.

Holden“It is important that prospective franchisees fully understand franchising if they are to seriously consider this option and the seminars provide an excellent platform to find out the realities and opportunities of franchising. The seminars are of up most importance for anyone considering this route into running their own business.”
Richard Holden, Head of Franchising, Lloyds TSB.

Bill Hendry“Business Gateway is committed to improving the awareness and understanding of Franchising as a way of getting into business for yourself and also as a way of growing your existing business. We are committed, in association with the BFA, to continue running awareness workshops and providing high quality business advisor support”.
Bill Hendrie, Chairman, BFA Franchise Group for Scotland.

Ken Wilson“ Many people are attracted to working for themselves after many years in secure but perhaps frustrating employment. However setting up your own business can be quite daunting and requires huge personal commitment. Franchising is an ideal solution and attending a franchise seminar with presentations by franchisors, franchisees, bankers, accountants and lawyers is an excellent way to build a good understanding of the advice available and the peace of mind that working in partnership with a good franchise organisation can provide.”
Ken Wilson, Master franchisee, Myhome Scotland
