Last year we attended the National Franchise Exhibition in Birmingham, where we spoke to potential franchisees about what we offer. This year, we’re heading to the Northern Franchise Exhibition to share our latest franchise opportunities alongside hundreds of other approved franchise brands.

Here’s what to expect from the event and a little more on what a franchise with No Letting Go involves.

 

What is Franchising?

Firstly, let’s define the meaning of franchising.

Franchising is the process of purchasing a ready-made start-up from an existing company and operating the business under the name of the established company.

This helps companies expand, as well as providing the franchisee with essential training and experience of running a business.

 

The Benefits of Franchising

Purchasing a franchise gives franchisees added support and peace of mind when it comes to operating their own business.

With the backing of an established brand behind them, new business owners are equipped with expert knowledge and a recognised name from the get-go.

In addition, most franchises offer initial and ongoing training to help secure success.

 

The Northern Franchise Exhibition 2019

The Northern Franchise Exhibition is being held at EventCity Manchester on the 21-22 June 2019.

If you’re looking to invest in a franchise, or considering franchising your business, this event is a fantastic way of accessing insider industry knowledge. With a huge variety of franchise opportunities on offer, there is something to suit every need.

This event is a BFA supported franchise exhibition. As a partner of the British Franchise Association (BFA), you know that all the franchise opportunities listed are fully accredited.

The event gathers together leading franchise brands for two days of presentations, workshops and Q&A sessions to help those looking for franchise opportunities in the UK.

This year, No Letting Go will be exhibiting to showcase our exciting franchise opportunities currently on offer.

Keen to attend and meet us in person? Visit our stand where our team will be happy to answer all your questions and give you an insight into what it means to be one of our franchisees.

We’re pleased to offer free tickets  from the official website. Just use the promotion code KIT1.

 

A Franchise with No Letting Go

We have over 50 property franchises across the UK, and we’re always looking to expand. A franchise with us means you could be providing your local area with our professional property services, including inventory management and reports.

The great thing about starting a franchise with No Letting Go, is that you don’t need any specialised industry experience or qualifications. All we ask for is your time and commitment. We run a highly accessible scheme, with franchisees from all walks of life heading up our UK offices.

How to Start a No Letting Go Franchise

  • We’ll start with an informal chat over the phone.
  • We can then meet up to get to know you and explain the funding options available.
  • The next step is to put you in contact with an existing franchisee so you can get an insight into what a franchise with us is like.
