With job security a thing of the past, and the soft economy still wreaking havoc with retirement planning, going into business is an attractive option for many. Fortunately, would-be entrepreneurs don’t have to start from scratch, as there are hundreds of proven business and franchise concepts available today.
Bob Wolk, founder of many successful businesses, mentor, career coach and franchising expert, presents “Is Business Ownership Right for You?” on Saturday, Sept. 20, at the Cherry Hill Public Library. The free seminar will focus on the pros and cons of starting, buying, or franchising a business and will cover the financing options available today.
The seminar will also debunk various myths about franchising. For example, one popular misconception is that owning a franchise means slinging hamburgers, baking doughnuts or scooping ice cream, when in fact, there are many non-food related businesses available.
“The opportunities for entrepreneurs today are vast, and many business are not that expensive to get into,” Wolk said. “And because you can choose from more than 90 business categories, everything from martial arts to hearing aids to pet grooming, there is something to suit just about every interest.”
“Is Business Ownership Right for You?” will be held from 10 to 11:30 a.m. on Sept. 20 at the Cherry Hill Public Library. Advance registration is requested as seating is limited. Register for the seminar at www.chplnj.org. You can also call (800) 372–6638.
