Franchise Ownership 101 + Work-from-home franchises!

What does it take to be a successful franchise owner in the DC Metro area? Whether you are interested in franchising as a full-time business or semi-absentee investor, 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 be a special segment on work-from-home (WFH) franchises, as many people have enjoyed working from home during the pandemic, and many parents of young children learning from home will need to WFH until the schools re-open. Now as employers have begun to call workers back to their offices or facilities, more and more people are looking for flexible WFH options.

This live session will be offered as a Webex webinar, so you can join us from wherever you are!

A link will be sent to attendees 1-2 hours prior to the start of the workshop.
Please log onto the webinar on time.
