WEBINAR ONE:  Light Manufacturing Business Opportunity – Webinar
Wednesday, February 25, 2:00 – 3:00pm EST

Learn the ins and the outs of one of FranNet’s unique business opportunities that offers many of the features and benefits of a franchise, but with NO ROYALTIES and NO RULES!

  • Light manufacturing, professional business-to-business format:
  • Leverages owner’s marketing/sales/management skills
  • Traditional business hours (M-F, 8:30-5:30)
  • Requires few employees and with higher skill levels
  • Offers recession-resistant products that every business needs.
  • High repeat business: About 80% of sales are generated by 30 to 50 corporate accounts.
  • Hear from the founder and president of the company, as well as several business unit owners in varying stages of growth.

Our economy has for generations been fueled by manufacturing, both heavy and light. Light manufacturing is an environment with no loud noises, no noxious odors, no dangerous chemicals, and no dangerous equipment.  Much of the light manufacturing over the years has gone overseas due to economics.  Some manufacturing remains here due to different factors including; technology, unique raw materials, the need to be close to the customer, or the custom nature of small run production.




WEBINAR TWO:  Semi-Absentee Ownership Model in Health Care Industry
Wednesday, February 25, 8:00 – 9:30pm EST
