Picture this: You’re dropped into unfamiliar territory without a map, a compass, or a flashlight. Will you make it out alive?
For many new franchisors, franchising represents an entirely new landscape. Your prior business experience does little to illuminate a path in franchising. You can’t rely on your instincts and street smarts to guide you, because franchising involves a complicated web of relationships that all need to be in tune at the same time. Even if you have a superior product or service that distinguishes your brand from the competition, and makes money, you still need to have great relationships with franchisees, vendors, the community, state regulators, and customers to truly succeed.
Successful franchisors know that franchising is based on the execution of a strategy, not the accidental discovery of the right path. The Springboard Event gives you a fighting chance, by getting to you early, with industry best practices. We take a holistic approach to the many disciplines that create a successful franchisor. You will receive valuable, actionable advice from experienced franchise founders who have been in your shoes, taken their lumps, and gone on to create successful franchise systems.

Event Details
National franchising activity largely bounced back to the pre-pandemic level in 2021, but states have experienced different levels of economic recovery because of states’ disparities in business climates, migration trends, and change of consumer preferences, among others.
Texas is expected to witness the most growth in franchise activity in 2023, as was the case for 2022. Growth in the Southern U.S. will outpace the rest of the U.S. franchise market.
The top 10 fastest-growing states are Texas, Illinois, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Arizona, Colorado, and Indiana.
Like 2022, Texas remains the fastest growing state in terms of franchise establishments. Residents with disposable income, vast infrastructure, low tax rates, and investments in advanced manufacturing and service industries are the key growth drivers in Texas. Texas continues to outperform the country in terms of job growth. (Franchising data from IFA Franchising Outlook 2022 and 2023)
Texas grew 20.68% from 2010 to 2023, the third-highest increase of any state, and has an estimated 2023 growth rate of 1.34%. Because Texas is the second-most-populous state and has more than 30 million residents already, a 1.34% annual growth rate means that the population of Texas grows by more than 1,100 people per day. (US Census 2020)
