Unlimited Opportunities At Franchise Expo And Business Week

Biz Community:

Franchise & Business Opportunities Expo (FBOE) 2006 takes place at Gallagher Estate, Midrand, Johannesburg, 7 - 11 September 2006, and is aimed at entrepreneurs with a desire to be in business for themselves but not by themselves. Adding impetus to FBOE 2006, ProSeed, the organisers of the Cape Town Small Business Week, has teamed up with Thebe Exhibitions to create the Jo’burg Business Week.

FBOE is an annual exhibition attracting a broad spectrum of visitors with investment potential ranging from under R50 000 to R500 000 and more. Jo’burg Business Week focuses on unifying business development initiatives in the City of Johannesburg to create an all-encompassing event focused on SMME support. It includes a comprehensive Business Skills Conference that will provide direct skills training and workshop opportunities for over 700 delegates.

Jo’burg Business Week will further facilitate direct SME access to business opportunities, including access to finance (financial institutions), market access (government, parastatal, and private) and capacity building (business development service providers).

Enthuses Clair Bowman, project manager of Thebe Exhibitions, “FBOE is an incredibly exciting expo to exhibit at and to attend. If you can conceive of it, you can buy into the franchise at FBOE. It really is the definitive platform for those seeking and selling franchise and business opportunities.
