Franchising will take on a decidedly Scottish flavour this summer for the seventh Scottish Franchise Week (SFW), a week of events presented by the British Franchise Association's focus in Scotland.
Throughout the week, 10th – 14th May , a number of franchise events will be taking place in Scotland.
Sponsored by Moreland Insurance, the aim of Scottish Franchise Week is to raise awareness of ethical franchising and the role which it plays in business start-up and job creation in Scotland.
One of the highlights of the week will be the Business Breakfast event on 14th May which will include presentations from a leading Scottish entrepreneur and successful Scottish franchisee.
If you want to be your own boss, there are many franchise businesses that could be owned and run by people like you! To assist you in your evaluation of franchising as a business option, whichfranchise.com is running FREE franchise seminars.
The Scottish Business Breakfast regularly attracts over 250 attendees, with media, ministers and business experts all participating in past events. As the key event in Scottish Franchise Week, the breakfast offers an outstanding networking opportunity and is the ideal platform for businesses from across the country to discover more about the importance and impact of franchising.
