Local Events - UGA Startups: Franchising; The Good, Bad and the Ugly

Here is another great resource for entrepreneurs in the Atlanta area. UGA Startups is a series of seminars and panels organized by the UGA Entrepreneurship Program: 

"The Terry College of Business Entrepreneurship Program designed the series as an interactive, informal and safe program open to anyone with a serious interest in launching a business. No brokers, consultants or persons soliciting business are invited to attend and this helps attendees feel comfortable discussing fears and concerns about starting a business without pressure to become a client of the persons giving advice."

This is an event that I recommend to every aspiring or experienced entrepreneur. Franchasing is a very viable alternative to start your own business and has an impressive success rate.  As anything, it has its pros and cons and there are concepts that are applicable to any type business.

The event is free for UGA alums and $10 for others.  See details of the event  or register.
