WESIO Accreditation: A Competitive Edge for Private Schools Worldwide

In the ever-growing competition for students from high-net-worth families, private schools must go beyond offering comfortable facilities and personalised attention—they must also provide tangible skills and internationally recognised qualifications that will secure their students’ future success.

WESIO Accreditation gives private institutions a powerful advantage in attracting parents who seek not only academic excellence but also real-world skills development for their children. One of the most strategic implementations that accredited schools can adopt is integrating MINIBOSS BUSINESS SCHOOL programs into their core or extracurricular curricula.

The Power of Dual Diplomas: A Competitive Advantage for University Admissions

By incorporating the MINIBOSS BUSINESS SCHOOL program, accredited schools can offer students the opportunity to earn a second diploma from the United Kingdom upon completing an 8-year business education track. This diploma is recognised internationally and provides a strong advantage in university admissions, especially to top-tier institutions worldwide.

Donald Trump's Liberation Day Disaster. Crash or Window of Opportunity?

How to Recognise a Turning Point in the Stock Market and Come Out on Top

📉 Facing the Panic

April 2025 entered the history of global finance with an unprecedented crash: the S&P 500 index lost more than 10% over two days. This event has already been dubbed the Liberation Day Crash. The scale and speed of the fall sent shockwaves through investors and business owners worldwide.

Such events are rare: this is only the fifth time in the entire history of the S&P 500 that the market has collapsed by over 10% in 48 hours. The last such occurrence was during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Prior cases include the crashes of 2008, 1987 and the early 2000s.

Yet every time it seemed all was lost — a new era of opportunity was quietly emerging.

 

♻ Lessons from the Past: From Ashes to Growth

History teaches us that following the deepest plunges, the market often rebounded with remarkable strength. Those who managed to stay calm and not panic were frequently rewarded with strong returns over the next 6 to 24 months.

• After the 1987 crash — technology boomed
• After 2008 — the digital economy took shape
• After COVID-2020 — online services, AI, biotech and fintech exploded

Each crisis brings with it a cleansing of the market from unsustainable bubbles and initiates the start of a new economic cycle. Those who recognise this early are already ahead of the game.

London Welcomes the World: Highlights from the International Franchise Show 2025
By 100% NEWS Correspondent

London, UK – April 2025.
This year, the UK capital once again became the global epicentre for innovation and entrepreneurship as it hosted the much-anticipated International Franchise Expo 2025. Held at the iconic ExCeL London, the event attracted thousands of entrepreneurs, investors, and franchise visionaries from over 60 countries, making it the largest and most dynamic gathering in the history of the Expo.

Over three action-packed days, more than 500 franchise brands showcased their business models, innovations, and opportunities across sectors such as education, food & beverage, retail, technology, wellness, real estate, and sustainability.

From powerful keynote speeches to hands-on workshops and private investor networking rooms, the Expo provided an immersive platform for business matchmaking, investment scouting, and global partnership development.

A Hub for Global Impact

The standout theme of IFE 2025 was “Franchising for a Sustainable Future”, emphasising the power of entrepreneurship to address global challenges. Educational franchises in particular were in the spotlight, with a growing international demand for scalable, socially impactful business models that build human capital.

Among the featured stars was the MINIBOSS & BIGBOSS Business School International Education Network, celebrating its 25th anniversary with its revolutionary startup education system for kids and teens. Delegates were especially drawn to the unique offering of business incubation for young entrepreneurs – and the network’s ambitious expansion plan into 50 new cities by 2026.

Innovation Meets Opportunity

Other Expo highlights included:

• Investor Speed-Dating Zones for real-time pitch sessions

• The Future Franchise Stage, with daily panels from CEOs, economists, and franchising legends

• AI & Franchise Tech Showcases, exploring automation in operations, customer experience, and marketing

• Women in Franchising Summit, celebrating female-led franchise growth stories

• The Global Expansion Lounge, where franchisees explored cross-border scaling strategies with legal and financial advisors

Words from the Organisers

“The level of energy, innovation, and genuine impact here is phenomenal. Franchising is not just a business model – it’s a bridge between economies, communities, and futures,” said Amelia Thompson, Director of the Expo.

100% NEWS, as an official media partner, conducted dozens of live interviews with thought leaders, franchise founders, and startup investors, now available on demand at www.100news.tv.

Looking Ahead

As the doors closed on this record-breaking edition, it became clear: franchising is no longer just local business—it is a global mission. The International Franchise Expo in London once again proved that when vision meets structure, growth becomes exponential.
