The Bellevue Entrepreneur Center will offer a brown-bag seminar on franchising.

The free event will be from noon to 1:30 p.m. Friday, July 23 at the Bellevue Chamber offices, 302 Bellevue Square, Bellevue.

The seminar will discuss the basics of creating a strong franchise, how to finance a franchise, and what to consider before signing a franchise agreement. It will include examples of people who have made the leap from corporate America to franchising.

Presenters will be Jeff Levy, a national consultant and coach to individuals interested in exploring self-employment with an emphasis in franchising, and Jim Frank, consultant and coach to entrepreneurs and a proven senior executive with over 30 years of business experience.
