Cahaba Grand to host expo for franchise entrepreneurs

FranNet of Alabama will host an expo for aspiring entrepreneurs on Wednesday, May 20 at Cahaba Grand Conference Center.

Birmingham Franchise Expo 2015 will feature two sessions: one from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and another from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. The same information will be offered at both sessions. 

Attendees will hear from more than 20 successful franchise companies that desire to expand in the Birmingham market. Franchise industry experts will present information on topics covering the steps to owning a franchise and how to fund a franchise. There will be an opportunity to interact with each franchise company before and after each session.

“One of FranNet’s goals is to promote connections with different franchises representing a wide range of business models,” said Marcus Hunt, FranNet’s local consultant. “Local banks and other financing resources will be on hand to discuss opportunities for those looking to start their own business.” 

While the expo is free, a reservation is encouraged, as seating may be limited. To register, visit alabamafranchiseexpo.com.
