NIC Local is delighted to announce that we will be exhibiting at The National Franchise Exhibition at the NEC Birmingham on 2nd and 3rd October 2026.
The event is one of the UK’s leading opportunities for anyone considering business ownership through franchising and is exclusively supported by the British Franchise Association (BFA).
Come and meet NIC Local on stand J70
If you are considering a career change, looking for greater control over your working life, or exploring the possibility of building your own business, we would love to meet you.
Our team will be on hand throughout the exhibition to explain how the NIC Local management franchise model works and what it takes to build and grow a commercial cleaning business with the support of an established national brand.
Unlike a traditional cleaning franchise, NIC Local franchisees don’t carry out the cleaning themselves. Instead, they build and manage a team, develop customer relationships, win new business and take responsibility for growing their local operation.
It is a model that can suit people with strong sales, leadership, management and communication skills, including those looking to transfer experience gained in their existing career into business ownership.
Why visit The National Franchise Exhibition?
The NEC event brings together more than 100 leading franchise brands, alongside industry experts, professional advisers and finance providers. There are also 50+ free presentations and workshops, providing valuable insight into franchising and what it takes to become a successful franchisee.
It is a great opportunity to:
- Meet established franchise brands face-to-face
- Compare different franchise opportunities
- Ask questions directly to franchisors and existing franchisees
- Learn more about funding and finance
- Hear from industry experts
- Understand the benefits and responsibilities of franchising
- Decide whether franchising could be the right route into business ownership
There will also be dedicated BFA franchising seminars, providing practical advice on the franchise model and what prospective franchisees should consider when choosing an opportunity.
Your ticket is completely FREE
Entry to The National Franchise Exhibition is free, so there is no reason not to come along and explore what franchising could offer you.
