Speaker Spotlight: Gary Occhiogrosso, Managing Partner at Franchise Growth Solutions

At the International Franchise Expo 2026, Gary Occhiogrosso will present “Tripwires to Avoid When Buying a Franchise,” a session designed to help you approach franchise investment decisions with greater clarity and structure.

Buying a franchise is more than choosing a brand—it’s about knowing what to evaluate before you commit. This session breaks down key areas such as disclosure documents, financial performance representations, territory rights, supplier requirements, franchisee validation, and the long term obligations tied to a franchise agreement.

You’ll gain a clearer understanding of what to look for, what to question, and what to verify so you can make more informed, structured decisions during your evaluation process.

It’s 𝙉𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙎𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝘽𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙒𝙚𝙚𝙠, a time to celebrate the entrepreneurs and small business owners driving innovation and growth across the country.

If you’ve been thinking about starting your own business, franchising offers a structured and supported path to ownership.

This year, the U.S. Small Business Administration will be at the International Franchise Expo, sharing resources and insights to help you take the next step.

Join the conversation and explore what business ownership could look like for you.
