The Franchise Show is a great opportunity for those looking to start a business but not sure where to start or for those already flirting with the idea of franchising. The first Franchise Show took place in February this year and exceeded all expectations. The organisers are planning for the next show to be twice the size and feature twice the opportunities. The Franchise Show will return to ExCel and will once again offer prospective franchisees all the tools and knowledge needed to take the first confident step into the industry. Likewise it will offer exhibitors a rare occasion to bring their franchise to the forefront of the market and talk to others about the potential of their concept.

The Prysm Group has partnered with MFV Expositions to bring together its 12 international partners, it is set to welcome 26 countries to the show and is now promoting in 28 countries worldwide. Some of the opportunities available at the next show include: over 70 seminars given by the industry's most famous and knowledgeable people; the Franchise Show Conference, which encompasses four one-way tracks to success for novice franchisees up to seasoned franchisors; and over 180 exhibitors, who represent only the finest brands and concepts the industry has to offer.
