The British Franchise Exhibition will offer aspiring entrepreneurs a huge array of business opportunities and information when it takes place at new venue, EventCity in Manchester, the second largest exhibition venue outside of London, on 20 & 21 June 2014.

Already the most successful franchise event in the North, the move to EventCity, is expected to attract even more potential franchisees to The British Franchise Exhibition. Close to The Trafford Centre, EventCity enables easy access to all main routes to the north and has ample free parking.

There will be a wide range of companies exhibiting at The British Franchise Exhibition covering many sectors such as property, home care, technology, food and retail. The event offers investment opportunities to suit all budgets and interest, companies exhibiting include: McDonald's, Anytime Fitness, Agency Express, Dream Doors, Mac Tools, Ewemove.com, Mail Boxes Etc, Platinum Property Partners, Mr. Electric, Mobalpa Kitchens, Home Instead Senior Care and Photobooth.co.uk, to name just a few.

Visitors can have total confidence in the companies they meet, as the exhibition is still the only franchise event in the North supported by the British Franchise Association (bfa), the regulatory body for franchising in the UK. This means that all companies exhibiting have met the Association's code of ethical franchising.

Take advantage of the online appointment booking service which can be accessed through the website www.franchiseinfo.co.uk. Visitors can ensure their time is well spent by booking to see a brand ahead of the exhibition in between the sessions they want to attend.

The British Franchise Exhibition offers a full seminar programme on both days of the event, where visitors can gain as much information as possible from invaluable seminars, panels and talks giving free advice about investing in franchising.

Experts at the Finance Clinic, facilitated by Franchise Finance, will offer visitors advice on how to secure finance and explain what they need to do to fulfil the banks' lending criteria. The key to success in raising finance lies in the business plan and is an essential part of the finance process. Those who bring a business plan along to the event, no matter what stage they are at, will receive free advice on their plan. Appointments can be made in advance of the exhibition via www.franchiseinfo.co.uk.

There is a never an empty seat in the house at The Real Franchisee Stories panels. A range of franchisees from different organisations gives visitors the chance to hear about the realities of investing in an already proven franchise model.
