The Franchise Negosyo Visayas Expo is set to take place from July 31 to August 1, 2026, at the Mountain Wing Atrium in SM Seaside City Cebu. This event, organized by the Philippine Franchise Association (PFA), is designed to support aspiring business owners in the Visayas region.
Empowering Entrepreneurs in the Visayas
More than 60 exhibitors will showcase a variety of franchise brands from different industries, providing a comprehensive view of available business opportunities. The expo is free and open to the public, allowing attendees to connect with franchisors and service providers.
Franchising remains one of the most accessible and proven pathways to business ownership, and through Franchise Negosyo Visayas Expo, we hope to open more doors for Filipinos who dream of building their own enterprise.
