Virtual Expo Asks the Tough Question: Is Business

SOUTHBURY, Conn., July 17, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The nation's leading career and franchise business coaching network, The Entrepreneur's Source ® is hosting its virtual Start a Business Weekend ® expo July 25-27, 2013 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. EDT. The virtual expo offers current and aspiring entrepreneurs the opportunity to explore business opportunities and gain advice from experts – all from the comfort of their home or office.

The Start a Business Weekend expo allows attendees to "walk" into a digital Exhibit Hall and visit the booths of more than 90 of the nation's hottest franchise concepts. Participants can chat live with representatives about a variety of different franchise brands, learn how to finance their new business, attend keynote presentations, and download informational resources. Business coaches from The Entrepreneur's Source will be available to help would-be entrepreneurs determine if business ownership is right for them. After attending a Start a Business Weekend expo, 95 percent of participants end up discovering options they admittedly would have never looked at on their own or would have previously dismissed.

"Many people would love to start their own business, especially with the job market moving towards part-time work. The problem is, many people don't know where to start or are unsure of the skills needed to run a business," said Brian Miller, COO of The Entrepreneur's Source . "Our free Start a Business Weekend expo asks the hard hitting question: is business ownership right for you? By the end of the three day event, participants will have that question answered and the tools and guidance necessary to start their entrepreneurial journey."
