Employee to Entrepreneur: Build, Buy or Franchise?

Taking the leap away from W-2 employment and into the world of business ownership is just the start of an exciting adventure. Help manage the risks by educating yourself.

Are you an experienced professional in the corporate world and aspire to become your own boss? Perhaps you want to create an alternate income stream and an eventual corporate exit strategy. Do immigration issues factor into your decision making?

This event will help you better understand the benefits and risks of business ownership options including whether you should start your own business, buy an existing business, or invest in a franchise license. Each individual and family has unique circumstances, experiences, skill sets and financial readiness. A crucial key to success is finding the RIGHT FIT. Whether you have been dreaming of successful business ownership for many years or if it is a new idea for you, the event will be fun, informative, relational and worth attending!
