Looking to be your own boss? Then consider starting a franchise business

Buying a franchise allows you to have your own business without having to start from scratch. You don't need experience in a specific industry, and by purchasing a tried and tested formula you benefit from the support and experience of the franchisor “ which means the risks are substantially lower.

Franchisees come from all walks of life and backgrounds, with ready-made business opportunities offered across a wide variety of industries “food & coffee, cleaning, B2B, motoring, retail, pet care, children services, gardening, health and fitness, beauty, printing and many more. With so much to choose from there is something for everyone!

Why attend a franchise seminar

BFA ScotlandTo assist you in your evaluation of franchising, whichfranchise.com, the official online partner of the British Franchise Association, is running franchise seminars to help you decide if franchising is the right route into business start-up for you. At each seminar you will hear from UK industry experts; all bfa accredited members, who will provide you with impartial franchise advice as well as being on hand to answer your franchise questions.

The seminars will take you through what franchising is and how you can identify if it is the right route into business start-up for you. It will highlight the advantages and disadvantages, how to go about buying a franchise and how to choose the right franchise for you.

Bill Hendry“BFA Franchise Group for Scotland 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.

“I would like to thank the whichfranchise team for an excellent and informative day. I thought that after 14 years of running a successful franchise that I knew a lot about the industry, but found myself leaving with 6 pages of notes! I now have a much clearer idea on how to find the right franchise for me.”
Andrew Henderson, seminar attendee

“The seminar was ideally pitched and covered all the areas of franchising I needed to know more about. It was through the seminar that I secured the services of my current lawyer and accountant, both of whom have helped me avoid a range of potential pitfalls. Not only is the whichfranchise team very experienced and knowledgeable in franchising - “they really know their stuff” - but they are also full of energy and enthusiasm, and totally supportive and encouraging. I wholeheartedly recommend that anyone considering taking on a franchise attends one of their seminars.”
John Gemmill, seminar attendee

“I found the day to be hugely informative and could not think of any way that the content, timing and balance of the different agenda items could be improved. Presentations were excellent and the input from the banks, legal advisors and current franchisees were probably the most important elements of the day.”
Stuart Waugh
