Franchising 101: Starting a Business Through a Franchise

What does it take to be a successful franchise owner in Virginia?

Whether you are interested in operating a full-time business, being a semi-absentee investor, or having a highly profitable summer business, learn what to look for in a franchise, which franchises do well (and don’t do well) in our region, and state and local regulations to be aware of before signing a franchise agreement. There will also be information about franchise trends and opportunities.

Speaker: Heather Rosen, President of FranNet of Virginia and D.C.,

Fee: No Cost
