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 – which are not widely known. As a franchisee, you can develop your own enterprise, within the knowledge-bank of a reputable, established and thriving organisation. The success rate for those engaged in this way, has been shown to outstrip conventional self-employment by a long way.
There is a unique opportunity to investigate Franchising on Friday 6th and Saturday 7th September at Franchise Opportunities Live, Radisson Blu Edwardian Heathrow Hotel,
140 Bath Road, Hayes, Middlesex UB3 5AW.
You can meet a range of franchises from food and drink to retail, cleaning to caring, cost management to debt solutions. Wherever your skills and interests lie – there’s a business to suit you.

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, at the market and at the competition. The training was comprehensive, inspiring and an excellent foundation for client meetings and acquisition!”
Matt Sidwell, Auditel’s Network Development Director says: “If like Ali you are exploring ways to expand your horizon, visit Franchise Opportunities Live and drop in to meet us!”
