National Franchise Exhibition Arrives in Yorkshire…

Feb. 2, 2008 - PRLog -- The exhibition is the type of thing budding tycoons based in the Yorkshire would normally have to visit Birmingham, London or Manchester to see. However, this year, 45 of Britain’s most innovative and exciting franchise and business opportunities have decided to descend at the brand new Lazurus Exhibition Centre at Doncaster Racecourse – all of them looking for people who want to run a business in the South Yorkshire and M18 corridor area.  

Franchising – or licensing – is widely regarded as a less risky way to enter the world of self employment. The concept allows an individual to use the brand and know-how of an established, proven company – and enjoy a step-by-step guide on how to successfully run the business.

Free seminars run throughout the whole two days: examples include mums mean business, Asian business investor forum and a motor franchise theatre. All seminars include a Dragons’ Den style forum – allowing the franchises to pitch their idea to the audience.    

But why are these companies all coming to Doncaster? Mark Monument, of exhibition organisers Job Done, explains:

“The exhibitors want a branch, a representative, an agent or a depot here in Yorkshire and Humberside. And that’s exactly why they are here….simply to meet people who live - and wish to run their business - in their own local area

Mark goes on:

“It’s not all about making (or investing) fortunes. Most exhibitors are looking for dedicated individuals who want to carve out a pleasant living and lifestyle for themselves.

There’s a bit of everything here for everyone – for “petrol heads”, for tradesmen, for white collar careers, for those interested in property investing, for those looking at retail outlets, or catering, or care homes. And, for once, you don’t have to travel to the NEC or London to see it all”.

In summary, the organisers claim that there is a proven, road-tested, ready made business waiting “on a plate” for all manner of career backgrounds and aspirations - and that each of the exhibitors offer a Yorkshire license

The show takes place over two days – Friday 22nd & Saturday 23rd February in the main Lazurus Exhibition Centre at Doncaster Racecourse. There is no entrance fee; there’s plenty of free car parking and all the seminars and advisory sessions are without charge too. It seems you just need to be a free thinking, budding entrepreneur to benefit from it all.
