Franchise success starts at the Franchising & Business Opportunities Expo
6 -7 May 2023, Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre, Melbourne Victoria
Come to the show that brings together franchisees, franchisors, small businesses and industry players in a forum like no other.
The show has been running for over 35 years and we are very proud of the integral role it has played in growing Australia's dynamic franchising and small business industry. The past couple of years have seen a monumental shift in the workplace and community - more people than ever are looking to work for themselves and take control of their future.
For exhibitors, the Expo provides the chance to meet face to face with quality visitors looking to join a franchise system or jump into a small business of their own.
Visitors wondering about the best way to start their own business often find the support and structure of a franchise is the key to success. You'll be able to speak to franchisors and franchisees, attend free seminars and meet small business advisors and experts – all under one roof.
Each Expo showcases companies from Australia's most successful franchises and small business opportunities; as well as comprehensive seminars presented by leaders across all aspects of business, finance and franchising.

"We found the quality of people has been very good, you can tell because they are asking all the right questions. The Expo is a predominant part of our marketing. We came back to the Expo this time last year after a long break, and now having exhibited in all the shows this year we are now reaping the rewards. The show reminds people Snap still exists after 120 years in business, so it is very important for brand awareness. " Kevin Lacey, Snap Print & Design
"The expo has been of value to us, we've made great connections and had valuable networking opportunities." Greg Evans, Bank of Queensland
"We were pleased with the calibre of the people. They were genuinely interested and asking the right questions. They were informed." Dean Lightfoot, Baskin Robbins
"We've met some really good people, it was definitely worth it for us to be at the show and have a larger presence. We met lots of people who are interested in a franchise, and many who did not know our business and could be new customers. " Clayton Treloar, Mail Boxes Etc
"There's no doubt meeting face to face is very important. It's how you build trust. People are coming here specifically because they want to be in business, they are ready. I think exhibiting here takes four months out of our franchise process. That's a big saving for us. It's the best way to build trust and develop a relationship with prospects that takes us much further. " Warren Ballantyne, GutterVac
"Very professionally organised and run Expo. Strong marketing to attract good number of attendees, looking at the opportunities available in franchises." Peter Grove, Jim's Antennas and Jim's Security
"This is a good way to screen people, it only takes 10 minutes of talking to someone to work out if they are right for us. Our usual way is to take online applications but that will take one of our team a couple of hours to process, only to discover they are not the right fit." Dennis Koorey, Roll'd Australia
"It has been steady all day and we have had 60 enquiries worth following up, so it's been a really good show so far. This Expo is a big part of our marketing plan, it is good for our brand and the most efficient way to capture leads." Dirk Heinert, Fastway Couriers
