$10.00About the event
Curious about starting your own business in 2025? Franchising is an often-overlooked option that allows entrepreneurs to be in business for themselves but not by themselves. It’s far more than fast food and retail. With options across a wide variety of industries, characteristics, and price points, it’s crucial to understand what franchising is and isn’t, and how to take advantage of the opportunities to find the perfect fit. This webinar will dive into questions around franchising as an option for starting a small business.
Presenter’s Bio: Ben Terrill, our presenter, is a franchisee himself of FranNet and an expert in matching businesses available for franchise entrepreneurs. Ben grew up in a household that encouraged realizing your dream of business ownership and learned at a very early age the benefits of ownership. Today Ben leads an effort to help prospective franchisees find opportunities that complement their skill sets that leads to business ownership in the St Louis and Kansas City area. FranNet is a valued partner of SCORE, and we think you can benefit from understanding what opportunities exist for new business ownership in franchising today.
