Going to a franchise show is one of the very best ways to get up close and personal with a wide range of franchisors and see what they've got to offer.

For over 30 years, MFV Expositions have been generating qualified leads for franchisors face-to-face at premier franchise events. Thousands of franchise companies offer proven, successful concepts, helping entrepreneurs be in business for themselves, but not by themselves. MFV Expos feature franchises from every industry and every investment level. Comprehensive educational programs help attendees decide what franchise option is best for them, and guide them through the process with information on financing options, legal issues and more.

Before going to the show, see if you can get a list of attendees or a show guide. You can make a list of all the companies that have caught your attention, and you can investigate further into these franchises when attending the show. Your goal is to leave the show with up to 10 or even 12 different franchises to explore in more depth. You’ll want at least three or four. This regional event is your opportunity to meet face to face with representatives from top franchise concepts who want to expand or develop in your area!
