Dreaming of owning a business? One of the country’s biggest franchise events is returning to Cebu, giving aspiring entrepreneurs the chance to explore dozens of business opportunities—all in one place and free of charge.
The Franchise Negosyo Visayas Expo will be held from July 31 to Aug. 1 at the Mountain Wing Atrium of SM Seaside City Cebu, where more than 60 franchise brands and business suppliers will showcase investment opportunities in food, retail, services, education, wellness and other industries.
Visitors can meet directly with franchisors, compare franchise packages, ask questions, and learn what it takes to start and operate a business.
Beyond the exhibition, the event will feature free learning sessions for aspiring entrepreneurs.
Business coach Camille Conanan of ActionCOACH Philippines will share practical tips on increasing business profits during the “5 Ways to Grow Your Profit” seminar on July 31.
Those considering buying a franchise can also attend the “How to Invest in the Right Franchise” seminar by Francorp Philippines operations consultant Noemi Ruiz, scheduled on both event days.
Business owners looking to expand their brands can join the paid “How to Franchise Your Business” workshop at Summit Galleria Cebu on Aug. 1.
“Franchising remains one of the most accessible and proven pathways to business ownership, and through Franchise Negosyo Visayas Expo, we hope to open more doors for Filipinos who dream of building their own enterprise,” said Philippine Franchise Association President Steve Benitez.
Admission to the expo is free, making it an ideal weekend destination for anyone exploring new business ideas, seeking additional income opportunities, or simply curious about the growing franchise industry in the Philippines.
