(Savannah, GA) – Savannah SCORE is bringing back its popular “Tools to Grow Your Business” Lunch-and-Learn workshop series. Offered the third Thursday of every month, these live online workshops will cover a wide range of business-related topics.
The series will kick off on Thursday, February 18, at 12PM with its franchising fundamentals workshop, “Building Wealth through Franchise Ownership—During and Beyond COVID-19.” This live online workshop features Leslie Kuban, a Certified Franchising Expert (CFE) and franchise owner of FranNet.

Kuban will teach workshop participants essential facts about franchising, how to choose the right franchise, and how to build wealth through franchise ownership.
“We are excited that Leslie will kick off our third annual ‘Tools to Grow Your Business’ workshop series on February 18,” Savannah SCORE Chapter Chair and Certified SCORE Mentor Michael Siegel said. “She knows firsthand what it takes to succeed as a franchise owner o and how to operate a franchise business during, as well as after, the COVID-19 pandemic.”

At the February 18 workshop, Kuban will present her insights on thriving franchise categories (even during COVID-19), high growth industries for 2021 and beyond, due diligence opportunities, costs and funding solutions, ways to reduce risk, and the competitive advantages that franchising offers.
