SUMMARY:Franchising 101: Starting a Business Through a Franchise
DESCRIPTION:(Hosted by Virginia Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity and FranNet)\n\n\n\nDescription\n\nStarting a business through a franchise is often the shortest path to profitability\, and some of them require as little as $50K to start and simply operate out of a home office – there is no food and no retail space to rent. But how do you find the good ones and not pay too much (or too little) for your business? Learn everything from how to find the right franchise for you\, to which state and local regulations you must be aware of before signing a franchise agreement\, to which franchises do well (and don’t do well) in your region. We will also discuss funding options.
