YOU DON'T WANT TO BE A FRANCHISE? ALTERNATIVE DISTRIBUTION MODELS

By Ann Hurwitz, David Oppenheim

Clients often ask that their business system be structured to avoid the franchise laws. This program reviews the practical issues involved in designing programs that fall outside the purview of the franchise laws, focusing on definitional elements, exemptions and exclusions, and adminstrative and case law intrepretations of statutes and regulations as applied to distribution and licensing arrangements.

This webinar and teleconference also serves as an opportunity for in house and outside franchise practitioners to better understand the alternatives to franchising and how to avoid creating an "accidental franchise" when structuring these business systems. Attend and find out why this workshop was found to be one of the best offerings of the 2011 Annual Program hosted by the ABA Forum on Franchising.

EXPERIENCE STARTING A FRANCHISE

Prior to opening the Zuka Juice stores (later acquired by Jamba Juice), Jason Madsen owned and operated an architectural design/construction management firm. He had no experience in restaurant operations prior to a consulting engagement with Zuka Juice, and his educational background at the time was architecture and political science. Yet after only five years in the restaurant industry, he had expanded into several locations, made a profitable exit, and was still in his 20s. How did he do it? In this program, Jason discusses why an exit strategy is the first thing you should think about; how to research franchises before you invest in one; how to expand and grow beyond a single location; how to find dependable young employees and how to motivate them; how to develop your own marketing approach to set you apart from other franchises; how to evaluate and finance the right franchise; how to implement your own ideas within your franchise; and more.

Note: Only available in the US, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, Malaysia, Japan and South Africa.

    FRANCHISE FAME & FORTUNE

    Franchising plays a big part in our economy. Franchise chains account for $90 billion a year in sales - 10 per cent of Canada's gross domestic product. And all that money means a whole lot of jobs: over one million Canadians work for a franchised company. Even in an economic downturn, franchising is a reliable business. The industry grew faster than the rest of the economy during the economic turmoil that followed 9/11. And now too, experts predict that people eager to create their own jobs in a time of uncertainty are even more attracted to the safety of a proven concept.

    Follow Amanda and Chris Collucci as they try to sweep the world off its feet with their housekeeping franchise concept, Clean4Me. They're pushing hard for $300,000 in investment to get their franchise package off the ground, debuting it at the largest franchise show in North America
