Transform your future through franchising at Olympia London

Franchising in the UK is booming, contributing an impressive £19.1bn to the economy and boasting an average unit turnover of £400,000*. As London’s premier franchise event draws near, there’s never been a better time to explore the opportunities within the thriving franchise community.

On 31 January & 1 February, The British & International Franchise Exhibition will open its doors to provide the spark of inspiration for the next generation of franchise entrepreneurs. Aspiring business owners are invited to Olympia London to learn all about this proven business model and take the next steps toward building a successful business. 

Exclusively supported by the British Franchise Association (BFA), the event will showcase over 100 franchise brands from a broad range of sectors including McDonald’s, Snap Fitness, Kokoro, Bluebird Care, Tutor Doctor and many more!

A packed programme of over 50 free talks covering all aspects of franchising will help inform and inspire attendees to take the next step on their franchise journey. Prospective investors will benefit from ‘An introduction to franchising’, Real Franchise Stories Q&A sessions and deep dives into specific sectors. 

Highlights include a keynote presentation from renowned businessman and celebrity chef, Levi Roots. Best known as the creator of the multi-million-pound Reggae Reggae Sauce brand, Levi is set to bring his vibrant energy to the Main Stage through his keynote ‘Roots to success’ as he inspires the next generation of entrepreneurs to turn their business dreams into reality.

Throughout the event, industry experts will be on hand to offer complimentary one-to-one advice. Specialist lawyers will decode the legalities, funding providers will shine a light on the range of finance options and franchise consultants will offer insights into the practicalities. 

The popular International Pavilion returns to showcase overseas franchises looking to expand into the UK market. This has the attractive benefit of offering investors the chance to become early adopters, getting ahead of the competition and making their mark in a new business venture. 

Existing franchisees with ambitions to expand their portfolio should register for the Multi-unit Franchise Conference sponsored by Akerman. Established multi-unit operators and representatives from brands including Subway, Anytime Fitness and Radfield Home Care will share their secrets on building a franchise empire. 

Tracy Shah, Managing Director, Venture Marketing Group, comments: “Running for more than 30 years, The Franchise Exhibitions are industry-leading events with exhibitors representing a range of sectors from food and beverage to care, education and fitness. The exhibitions have helped thousands of people find their perfect franchise opportunity and we cannot wait for more of the same this year at Olympia London.”
