Considering a career in franchising?

May 8, 2008

Investing in franchise ownership can be a big financial commitment for small businesspeople, but now there’s one more – free – tool at their disposal.

An online course dubbed Franchising Basics is now available, free of charge, from the U.S. Small Business Administration and franchise consultants FranNet.

The course will cover franchising options, strategies for growth, and common pitfalls. Participants will even get a certificate of completion at the finish.

A quick perusal of the SBA’s online training offerings shows no shortage of courses, on starting a business, management, marketing and government contracting. Might be worth a look.
