THE A TO Z’s OF BUYING A FRANCHISE

sponsored by:

If you’re looking for a no-nonsense, cut-to-the-quick, show me how to evaluate franchises so that I can buy one that’s right for me . . . this is the symposium you need. And it’s the only one you’ll need! It’s taught by Fred Kriss, a 25-year franchise veteran who has developed and operated successful franchise systems at the officer and director level. Mr. Kriss has been an advisor to franchise purchasers and has helped launch more than 50 start-up companies. A sought-after consultant to regional and national franchisors, Mr. Kriss is now an investor in start-up franchise companies. Mr. Kriss has written extensively about the topic and is the master instructor at FranchiseRight, the country’s leading franchise educator and incubator. If you hope to become a successful franchisee, get started with confidence by participating in this symposium.
You will learn the basic information about franchising but glean an in-depth knowledge through the experiences of Mr. Kriss. He will help you understand how to interpret and use the Franchise Disclosure Document to discover reliable information about the performance and viability of any franchise, how to evaluate the franchisor’s operating system and determine if you and your intended market are compatible with the system, the pros and cons of franchising, the fees required by franchisors, the facts about territorial and product restrictions, how to raise money to invest in a franchise, and much, much more.
All symposium attendees receive admission to the exhibits on all three days.

Who Should Attend

Anyone who’s thinking about buying a franchise will find this symposium to be invaluable. Where else will you have the opportunity to spend 3 hours with a seasoned professional who provides honest, accurate, timely information about franchising? Don’t worry, this symposium isn’t intended to sell you a franchise. It’s intended to educate you about the pros and cons of buying a franchise and help you understand why buying a franchise may be right for you. The subject matter is intended for people who want to buy a franchise in the United States, although the seminar also attracts many international candidates as well as prospective franchisors. Attend only if you want to be better educated about buying a franchise!

Here’s What You Receive

In addition to the comprehensive information covered in the symposium, you will receive a binder of all the information presented. You will utilize a self-evaluation tool to test your compatibility with franchising. The profile, valued at $125, will help you determine the type of franchise that makes sense for you to buy. Also, you will receive a handy guide that walks you through the process of evaluating and buying a franchise. You also get Fred’s exclusive list of 99 Questions To Ask Before You Buy A Franchise! – he’s done much of your homework for you! Finally, you get ongoing email access to Mr. Kriss and the FranchiseRight staff (a special code identifies you as a symposium attendee), so you’ll get answers to your franchise questions at no additional charge. Value: Priceless!
