FRANCHISING PROGRAMME

WHAT IS THE FRANCHISING PROGRAMME?

Lisburn City Council in partnership with Belfast City Council is funding a dedicated Franchise Development Programme.

This project has two main strands:

1. The Franchise Programme

The Franchise Programme helps support potential entrepreneurs to understand franchising opportunities and to evaluate existing franchises with the aim of purchasing and starting their own business. 

2. Franchise Your Business Programme.

The Franchise Your Business Programme helps support local businesses to identify opportunities for gearing up their own business, developing systems and procedures that allow the business to be replicated in a franchise format. 

These programmes are supported and funded by the European Sustainable Competitiveness Programme 2007-2013.
