Franchising as a Career, Investment, or Both.
A Good Strategy in 2017 and Beyond

 

A Conversation with Faizun kamal

]

      

Are you contemplating various career and entrepreneurial options during your transition?


Come and learn from a franchise owner and expert why you might want to add franchising to your list of options.  You might be surprised to learn there are over 3000 different franchises in the US that you can launch a franchise for just $50,000, and that franchising boasts a 90% success rate.  Most franchise owners are just like you, wanting to find a safe and proven alternative to the corporate world and start their own business.  They want to control their own destiny and create financial security, but need to reduce the risks by buying something they know will succeed. 

Come and learn the following:

1.  How can franchising reduce the risk of starting your own business?

2.  What franchises have and are succeeding in the DC Metro area?

3.  Are there executive franchises, or is it just fast food and retail?

4.  How do I know if I’m suited for franchising?

5.  Which franchises might work best for me?
