Buying a franchise: What serious business owners need to know before they commit
21 April 2026 at 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

The second of two free online sessions from the Business Academy at the Department of Business & Trade.
Explore franchise ownership and get a realistic understanding of what you are committing to – financially, operationally, and personally.
What you’ll learn
- Understand how the franchise model works in practice, including typical fee structures, ongoing obligations, and the shared responsibilities between franchisor and franchisee.
- Assess franchise opportunities more objectively, recognising red flags, understanding why applications are declined, and distinguishing strong systems from strong marketing.
- Determine whether franchise ownership aligns with their goals, working style, and expectations, enabling them to make informed, commercially grounded decisions before committing.
