The event, supported by the British Franchise Association (bfa), Ulster Bank and Franchise Ireland magazine, will provide interested entrepreneurs with an excellent opportunity to learn a great deal about what is involved with buying a franchise and setting up a franchise. It will take place on Friday May 12th and Saturday May 13th 2006, with activities beginning at 10:00 BST on both days. Those attending have the chance to have discussions with senior members of UK and international franchises and with franchisees that have been successful. Advice and support will be on offer from franchising experts who work for banks, law firms and the bfa. In addition, key figures from the franchising industry will give free franchise information seminars on how to decide which franchise is best suited to someone and to establish a successful franchise in a short space of time. This exhibition is being organised by the Venture Marketing Group (VMG), which has already run five similar events in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and Dublin. David Tuck, franchise sales manager at VMG, said; "Northern Ireland offers superb opportunities for both franchisors and franchisees. This new event should be a great success for everyone."
