Have you ever dreamed of leaving the corporate world behind and starting your own business? Franchising is an option that many career transitioners overlook. There are over 3,100 national franchises that do just about anything you can imagine – from home tutoring to home cleaning. Franchising today is much more than fast food and retail. Opportunities abound for first time business owners, aspiring entrepreneurs, and investors looking for new opportunities to build wealth. Franchise businesses provide support and training from an expert management team, are easier to finance, and command higher price-earnings ratios when you sell. Franchises also leverage an existing brand and proven business model and offer more control over your income. There will be 20 minutes of open networking with fellow job seekers after Alan's presentation. GUEST SPEAKER Alan Goldberg Alan Goldberg is a business builder, marketer, coach, dynamic speaker, and franchise specialist. He helps identify businesses that leverage your strengths, skill set, interests and meet your income requirements.
