Do you want to own your own business but aren't sure what that business should look like-or whether you want to build everything from scratch? Franchising can be a powerful path to entrepreneurship, offering built-in systems, brand support, and operational guidance across many industries. This course is designed for entrepreneurs seeking to learn what franchising is (and is not), how franchise systems operate, and how to evaluate whether a franchised business aligns with their personal work style, goals, and risk tolerance. By the end of the session, participants will be better equipped to ask informed questions and decide whether franchising deserves further exploration in their entrepreneurial journey.
