On Thursday, October 23 at 1:00 PM CT, Rebecca Monet will host an exciting webinar featuring two respected industry leaders: Adrienne Leigh and Lisa Welko. Together, they’ll tackle an important and often overlooked topic—Emerging Franchisors.
For brokers, the question is clear: Should I introduce my candidates to emerging brands? While established franchisors bring stability, emerging brands often provide unique opportunities for candidates looking to grow with a concept from the ground up. Adrienne and Lisa will share why brokers should consider presenting these options—and how to know when the timing is right.
For franchisors, credibility is everything. The panel will discuss what emerging brands must have in place—from proven systems to clear financial models—to earn the trust of brokers and serious candidates.
