Is franchising right for your business?
14 April 2026 at 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Two free new online sessions from the Business Academy at the Department of Business and Trade on franchising as a route for business growth.
In the first you can explore franchising as a potential vehicle for expansion and understand what it really involves:
What you’ll learn
- Evaluate whether their business is structurally and commercially suitable for franchising, including systems, profitability, leadership capacity, and brand consistency.
- Understand the key stages involved in preparing a business for franchising, from operational foundations and documentation to recruitment readiness and long-term support requirements.
- Identify common risks, misconceptions, and early-stage mistakes that cause franchising strategies to fail or stall, and assess whether franchising is the right growth pathway for their business at this point in time.

The second event ‘Buying a franchise: What serious business owners need to know before they commit’ is on 21st April at 11.00am.
