Futures not found on job boards might be discovered at Start Business Expo

According to the Challenger, Gray & Christmas' job market index released in January, close to 9% of job seekers are starting businesses of their own.

New business development is crucial to a sustainable recovery. That’s the reason for the Start Business Franchise & Enterprise Expo on September 25 in Ohio, where there are 640,000 job seekers, and thousands more who are underemployed or have taken early retirement and are seeking their next endeavor.

“If you are even considering turning what you are losing in time and income into something positive of your own, the Franchise & Enterprise Expo can give you ideas, resources, and connections that will help.” says Jeri Vespoli, Franchisor and co-producer of the Expo.

Keynote speaker Robin Sacks has this to say to professionals who are frustrated with their job search "Step off the hamster wheel for a moment to think about ‘who you are’ instead of ‘what you do.’ Use this time as an opportunity to look for something you have always wanted to do or try. You will be amazed at the opportunities that surround you. Failure should never scare you...regret should scare the heck out of you. Life is not a dress rehearsal...perform!"

More than 50 franchisors, industry professionals and non-profits will be on hand at their exhibits and the two speed networking events scheduled Sept 25 to provide information on the options.

Jani-King of Cleveland, with over 350 franchisees, is proud to be the expo’s presenting sponsor. Ranked by Entrepreneur magazine as #1 in their category for 23 years, and #8 overall, their low-cost investments make them a popular choice for entrepreneurs. Jani-King of Cleveland’s master franchise owner, Joe Carollo, and his corporate regional office provide significant support to local owners in planning, financing, training, billing, and customer service—they even provide the customers. This allows the franchise owners’ main focus to be on running their business.

The expo will be held at the Cuyahoga Valley Career Center, another show sponsor, in Brecksville on Sept 25 from 10 AM – 3 PM. Exhibit and ticket information is available at www.startbusinessexpo.com.
