The franchise show, BNF, provides new business options
It includes the Agents&Brokers to activate professional contacts
Entrepreneurs, investors and people looking for self-employment formulas will meet up from the 29th to the 31st of October 2009 in Fira de Barcelona's BNF franchise show to discover new business opportunities. The show will also provide the setting for Agents&Brokers, organised by the Col.legi Oficial d'Agents Comercials de Barcelona (COACB), a platform aimed at activating professional contacts and employment opportunities.
Visitors to BNF, in hall 1 of the Montjuïc exhibition centre will find around 60 brands from different activity sectors, as well as franchise consultancy firms, associations and specialist press. The most dynamic sectors this year will be represented by exhibitors of the following: supermarkets and food stores, beauty and aesthetic, specialist establishments and professional services. On an international level, companies from France, Italy and the U.S.A., looking to set up this type of business in Spain, will also be participating.
Franchising is resisting the crisis thanks to the drive of the services sector and the incorporation into the system of new companies that opt for this sales formula as a means of expansion. Fira de Barcelona's BNF show reflects this trend since 60% of its exhibitors are new arrivals to franchising.
BNF will coincide with the real estate fair, Barcelona Meeting Point, which attracts investors and the general public. These visitors will have free access to the franchise show.
