Episode notes

In this episode, I'm talking with Simon Chicken who is the Event Director of the International Franchise Show being held at the Excel in London, on Fri 12th and Sat 13th April 2024, and Daniel McCarthy who is the Director of Business Development.


Today we're talking about why franchising is a really good fit for cops, military and other emergency service professionals, whatever their length of service, and why this particular business model works so well.


We talk about the success rate and stats, the pros and cons and the risks, and what you can expect at the IFS and how to make the best use of it, and most importantly, it's completely free!
