Thursday, Sept 18, 8:30 – 10:30 a.m. | Free

Many people are attracted to the idea of owning a business, but are concerned about risk and uncertainty. Two options that lessen that risk are buying an existing business or owning a proven franchise model. This workshop will provide an overview of both options and explore the pros and cons of each. We’ll also cover how to identify options that meet your criteria: the background, skills, and mindset required; ways to obtain funding, and how to be a savvy consumer.
