INTERNATIONAL FRANCHISE EXPO 2010
All eyes will be on South Africa in 2010. This watershed year not only marks the hosting of the FIFA World Cup Soccer, next year’s premier world event, but it will also mark the significant upswing in business and consumer confidence. Whilst all sectors of business have felt the effects of the economic recession, franchising has managed to weather the storm better than independent businesses. Economists worldwide are already seeing what they call the ‘green shoots’ of economic recovery and South Africa, ahead of the World Cup, will be poised to really take off and lead the way in economic recovery. Franchising, known as the securest business format, will be leading the way in economic recovery by stimulating the small business sector with its entrepreneurial opportunities, skills development and job creation.

THE WORLD COMES TO SOUTH AFRICA
South Africa is at the centre of change and innovation in Africa. With all eyes on South Africa, now is the time to climb onto the franchise bandwagon and get in ahead of the next economic boom. IFE 2010 will showcase the very best franchise opportunities that South Africa has to offer.

If franchising is your business, or you are looking to enter the profitable world of franchising, then you cannot miss being part of the most dedicated franchise show in Africa from the 6 – 8th May at the Sandton Convention Centre, Sandton, Johannesburg, South Africa.
