Franchise Education That You MUST Know!

It’s been said that knowledge and preparation enhance the value of any business and that ignorance and surprises cost money and time. If this has even a hint of truth in your franchise career, you’ve come to the right place.

Once you know the right questions to ask and have experienced franchise resources in place, you will be pleasantly surprised at the time and money you will be able to save as you grow your business.

EXPERT TRAINING BY LICENSED PROFESSIONALS

Franchising requires expertise in a number of specific areas, especially when it comes to leasing space and building brick and mortar locations. That know-how is often hard earned through many costly trial-and-error mistakes. A learning curve like that can take years to get beyond, often resulting in debt, frustration, stress, and--for some franchise owners--failure.

Fortunately, there is a better way -- the National Franchise Institute's Brick & Mortar Franchise Success program where you can learn the secrets to successfully lease space and build new locations without years of stumbling along the hard way. By raising the bar in franchise education we make concise, effective, actionable information accessible so that costly mistakes are avoided, locations are opened sooner, and you start making money.

The ideal timing for the Brick & Mortar Franchise Success program is after a Franchise Agreement has been signed but before the search for real estate begins (and DEFINITELY before a lease is signed!). In most cases, this sequence fits perfectly before operations training takes place. Best of all, programs are held approximately every six weeks.

Class sizes are intentionally small, hands-on, and interactive so that you get a comprehensive understanding of the knowledge and processes you need to know in order to create the right foundation for your company's ongoing success.

The investment in education you make now can make all the difference to both your short-term and long-term success and profitability. Program dates and additional details can be found in our Register/Events tab.
