Title: The prevalence of franchising in the economy
Speaker: Dan Allen
Description:
Why running your own business doesn’t have to mean starting your own business.
Lots of young people are very entrepreneurial. They have the ambition, the skills and the tenacity to be their own boss but sometimes there are things that get in the way. These things could include; thinking of an original idea to build a business around, having the resources to start a business from scratch, not being sure how to go about setting up and sometimes just not wanting to do it all alone.
Franchising is one of the fastest growing sectors of business in the world and you’ll be surprised how often you come into contact with them in your lives. They come in all different shapes and sizes, across every business area imaginable. If you’ve got an interest whether it Coffee, Car Repair, Finance, Football or anything else, it’s likely there’s a franchise out there doing business with it
Dan is the Managing Director of Turtle Tots Ltd. With more than 50 franchises across the UK and Ireland it’s one of the country’s largest swim schools for babies and children, teaching more than 13,000 children to swim each week and employing more than 250 swimming teachers. Dan helps the entrepreneurs who run those franchises create successful, profitable businesses for themselves and their families. He’s also responsible for the development of the whole business through the expansion of the franchise network.
This talk will help you to understand what franchising is, how it’s more accessible than you might think and how it presents a great career path for young entrepreneurs to pursue.
