Hear the word “franchise,” and you probably immediately think McDonald’s. But franchising is so much more than fast-food chain restaurants. With the chance to build on a proven system, franchising can be an excellent path to entrepreneurship. This event will explore: what is the current environment in franchises, what are the rewards and risks, how do you decide whether or not to buy into a franchise, when is it appropriate to consider franchising your existing business, etc.

Event is presented in partnership with Commerce and Industry Association of New Jersey (CIANJ)

Panel: 
Guy Falzarano, founder and CEO, Lightbridge Franchise Company  
John Helm, owner, Jersey Mike’s Subs  
Dana Kline, owner, Hand and Stone Massage and Facial Spa  
Theresa Wolf, owner, Muscle Maker Grill 

Moderator: 
Adam Siegelheim, shareholder, Stark & Stark
