Speaker:

Gary Prenevost, President of FranNet of Southern Ontario & Eastern Canada

Gary is a passionate entrepreneur and a calculated risk taker who thrives on creating opportunity for others; he is constantly redefining his comfort zone, while helping others to redefine their comfort zones and unlock their “golden shackles” that had previously held them back from achieving and overachieving their financial and lifestyle goals.

When it comes to franchising, Gary is one of Canada’s top franchise matchmaking experts because he has been on every side of the franchise table – as a franchisor; as a franchisee; as a franchise consultant, and as a banker.

Gary believes strongly that buying into the right franchise model is one of the best ways of becoming a successful entrepreneur, because so much risk is mitigated when the prospective franchisee is well-suited to the critical roles that drive success in the franchised business they are considering buying. Franchising is a process-based business, and Gary believes that the best way to find the right franchise is to utilize a thorough research process so that people fully understand all aspects of the business, before they buy!
