Deciding on a franchise

Whether you have a particular franchise in mind or you’re exploring options, it’s important to understand that franchising is a way of doing business — it isn’t a single industry or business. All franchises are different so it’s important that you find one that suits you.

Future vision

Overall, the relationship between you and the franchise and franchisor should be positive and mutually beneficial. You should consider whether:

you share the same vision, values, and work ethic as the franchisor
you’ll be motivated to work in the business for the next 5–10 years
you see profitable growth in the franchise
the franchise has the ability to maintain its competitiveness and brand in the future.

Before buying in to a franchise system, you should think about:

whether you have a passion for the franchise brand, product, and concept
how much you’ll need to invest to buy, and operate
what initial and ongoing training and support you’ll receive.

Benefits of owning a franchise

Our customers have told us some of the reasons why buying a franchise was appealing included:

a positive cash flow from the day you open
reduced risk of the business failing
ability to start a business with a low capital base
comfort in knowing that the business can be re-sold
a business model that allows you to grow and own multiple locations.
