Are you fed up?

Let’s face it, due to the downturn in the stock market, corporate bailouts and executive scandals, there’s a lot of distrust among the honest, hard-working folks here in Michigan when it comes to corporate “leaders”. That’s why so many people are shunning the corporate world, not only in terms of employment, but also from a retirement fund investment standpoint. They have come to the realization that we can’t rely on long-term employment opportunities, or sufficient growth in those retirement savings invested in corporate stocks and bonds. Therefore, more and more Michiganders are choosing to invest in themselves, and even leveraging their retirement funds to start their own businesses.

At FranNet, our educational sessions help lay the groundwork for a safer approach to making an informed decision. We discuss timely topics, such as how to quantify and maximize your financial returns as well as growth trends and choices in franchising that offer stability and success in weak and strong economies. Please see below for details on our local franchise seminars as well as several web-based events.

Here’s a summary of the upcoming events, all offered without charge:
