News From SCORE Westchester: Taking the Entrepreneurial Plunge

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. - Oct. 11, 2013 - PRLog -- Planning for the future Bev Johnson of Cortland NY, formerly a manager of group homes for disabled people, decided to take control of her future. After attending a franchise workshop at SCORE Westchester, she committed to become an independent business person.  Frank Dunne of FranNet was the featured speaker and working with Frank she decided on purchasing three Westchester Super Cut Franchises. Ms. Johnson is presently working on the exact locations.

FranNet, a National supporter of SCORE, helps match potential entrepreneurs with the franchises that best meet their needs and life style.

Dunne points out franchising is just not fast foods since there are over 400 different franchises available. Today franchises account for roughly 10% of the American Economy and are a tested path for individuals while giving them the benefits of running your own business.  Ms. Johnson feels that her efforts to start these franchises will allow her to build something for her family.

Frank Dunne returns to SCORE Westchester Wednesday, October 16th to present his workshop Franchises – Are They Right for You? The workshop will run from 1 – 3 pm at SCORE Westchester headquarters in White Plains.  Dunne will discuss the specifics of owning a franchise and set aside time to answer attendees’ questions regarding the process.  For more information and to register for the workshop, visit: www.scorewestchester.com/workshops/franchises-are-they-right-for-you-3/.
