BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY SEMINAR

“Paving Your Way to Entrepreneurship”


February 2011I Hotel I Gujarat
Program

Day 1, day, February 2011


One-Day Business Opportunities Seminar for budding entrepreneurs in Tier II and Tier III cities
across the country. We identified basic obstacles faced by prospective investors seeking to own a
franchise and some challenges faced by franchisors seeking to recruit them as franchise owners.
Obstacles were categorized as three gaps: an informational gap, a relational gap and a capital
gap. These one-day seminars address all three gaps and include sessions on:
Fundamentals of Franchising–
• What franchising is (and isn’t) and how to evaluate franchise options.
Experiences in Franchising -
• What is it really like to be a franchisee? Current franchisees will share their
experiences and advice. What are franchisors looking for? Prospective
franchisees will hear first hand from experienced franchisors. Franchisors and
supplier members will also have tables to distribute information on their concept
or information on services they can provide to a potential franchisee.
Legal Aspects of Franchising –
• What questions do you need to ask before signing on the dotted line?
Funding and Technical Assistance –
• What resources are available? What are the requirements for financing in this
economic climate? Are special programs available?

Business Opportunity Seminar: an independent evaluation
