What investment level can I afford? What are my options? What preparation and steps are necessary to attain financing? How do I make myself look attractive to lenders? In this seminar we will discuss how to use financing as a tool to help you achieve your goals through business ownership. We will explore financing opportunities available to you through the SBA program, equipment leasing, as well as other potential financing options.

Meeting the Franchisor (Repeat)
11:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Room 204A
Presented by: Ed Teixeira, Chief Operating Officer, VTS Franchising, LLC

In this presentation the prospective franchisee is taught how to maximize the benefits of visiting the franchisor at their corporate headquarters. Since most franchisors require a personal visit by the prospect, it is critical that the individual uses this opportunity to learn about the franchisor, ask the right questions and introduce questions that may pertain to the franchise agreement. The information provided will benefit the franchisee and the franchisor because it lowers the risk of either party making the wrong decision.

Room 202B
Presented by: Lori Kiser-Block, President, FranChoice, Inc

Much is said about finding a business that involves what you love and enjoy and success will follow. Is falling in love with a business important for business success or is this a false expectation that keeps people from achieving their goals through business ownership? This seminar is about taking a completely different approach to finding a business. Instead of finding a business to fall in love with, we will discuss a proven strategy to help you find a business that you can manage, market and promote. Using this approach to finding a business will allow you access to more of what you love, enjoy and value most.
