SCORE Small Business Webinar: Entrepreneurship Through a Franchise vs.Through Acquistion

Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) has gotten a lot of buzz lately. As a result, the market has been flooded with individuals and investor groups looking to acquire healthy businesses from a retiring owner. While the concept is sound – younger entrepreneurs coming in with fresh ideas and growing an established business while leveraging its existing customer base, brand recognition, and infrastructure – good acquisition targets are hard to find and the best ones may not be nearby or affordable.

Entrepreneurship Through a Franchise (ETF) might be a more viable alternative, as it mirrors many of the principles of ETA.

In this webinar, you learn:

• How acquiring an existing franchise location is the most similar to ETA with the added benefit of an experienced franchisor helping you with your turnaround and growth.
• About franchises that help their franchisees identify independent businesses that are ripe for acquisition and growth through conversion into the franchise model.
• Parallels between ETA and launching a new location of an established franchise from scratch.
• How each of these models can empower entrepreneurs to scale proven models, leverage existing systems, and accelerate their growth with reduced risk.

Whether you are an aspiring franchise owner looking to rapidly scale your business, an independent business operator wanting to launch a profitable new division, or an ETA enthusiast, you won't want to miss this!
