Why visit the exhibition?

The exhibition website presents franchises across sectors including food, education and services. The format is useful if you are still comparing different types of business: you can meet several networks in one place, explore their proposals and prepare questions for further discussions.

For a focused visit, shortlist the formats that interest you. Ask about premises, staff training, support and the day-to-day operation of a branch. If you are travelling with a business partner, divide meetings according to your interests and compare notes afterwards. Any investment decision requires a separate examination of each network’s documents and terms.

Fitting the exhibition into your trip

When asking Hola Taxi about a journey, specify Expo ABF Rio at Riocentro, your visit date and your departure address. If you have several meetings and do not yet know when you will finish, discuss the return once your plans for the day are clearer. For an airport journey, give the airport shown on your ticket: GIG and SDU are different Rio airports.
