• • • • • •
profitable retail sites Unique interior design features and attractive colour schemes Streamlined operating system Leading edge point-of-sale software Proven direct marketing and promotional strategies Depth and mix of hair removal and skin care treatment services Exclusive after-wax and skin care product range
So what does it take for you to join our winning team and open your very own Brazilian Beauty salon? Whilst it is an advantage to have beauty care industry experience, especially in the waxing or hair dressing industries, anyone who has a strong affinity for personal grooming and image enhancement with a background and understanding of customer service, will find Brazilian Beauty’s training programme easy to assimilate and apply. Brazilian Beauty has an experienced management support team to assist you with any queries or problems
you may encounter. We will regularly visit with you to provide you with the support, service and product up-dates and to always be there to assist you with any detail whatsoever. Remember two things. Firstly when it comes to business there’s no such thing as a stupid question. So never hesitate when asking us anything. Secondly help and assistance is only ever a phone call, fax or email away. Our Franchisees all come from a wide variety of backgrounds, often with no beauty industry experience. Our systems are designed to provide you with all the training that will enable you to run one of our cutting edge Brazilian Beauty concept Franchises. Megan Gower opened a Brazilian Beauty salon in East Brisbane over six months ago and hasn’t looked back. Megan has over 500 clients a month with an average spend of $80 per visit. “My clients are mostly women aged 18-45 who are just everyday people who want to invest their money in their personal appearance in order to look their best.” continued on page 6

“At Brazilian Beauty, we treat every single one of our clients with individual care and with total attention to finding their beauty needs and matching our products specifically to their needs. This is the philosophy of the Brazilian Beauty franchise model and it works so well. We are fully booked until Christmas”. Megan had no experience in the beauty care industry when she approached Brazilian Beauty with an idea to open her franchise store in East Brisbane. “I was a kindy teacher who wanted to own my own business. When I met with Brazilian Beauty, I was so impressed with the drive and determination of the team. Francesca and Andrew are always there for me when I need help and their insight into the business of owning a franchise is truly remarkable.” “My husband and I looked at a
number of franchise businesses before we started, but Brazilian Beauty won us over because of it’s winning formula. My clients come to Brazilian Beauty to receive advice, treatment and products for their beauty needs. They receive personalised attention, get that ‘wow’ factor and return to Brazilian Beauty on a regular basis. This is why I have made so much money since I opened my Brazilian Beauty salon franchise over six months ago. It was the best decision I ever made.” See for yourself how Brazilian Beauty is leading the way in becoming one of the most successful franchising businesses coming to a suburb near you!

Top End Recognition for Simple Franchise System It's not long ago that awards in Franchising were all about bells and whistles. The more complex and therefore 'sophisticated' your system, the better your chances. This was unlikely to favour a straightforward system like Snap-on Tools. Yet Fortune Magazine has described a Snapon mobile showroom as one of the most productive retail spaces in the world; the Australian Financial Review's The way it is Smart Investor Magazine currently rates it among Australia's top seven systems for return on investment; and in Australia, Snap-on has never had an unpleasant falling out with any franchisee. Add this: Snap-on has been trading since 1920, has more than 4,000 franchisees worldwide, and retails a superb product used by NASA in space and most F-1 pit crews, as well as over a million day-to-day professional tool users.

Make The Dream Come True by Evan Kambourakis, Dip.A, B. com, ASA Many people dream of stating or owning their own successful business in Australia. This dream may start with a simple idea for a family legacy. An opportunity may also arise for you to purchase an existing business at the right price. The world’s richest entrepreneurs in the field of technology, computing, consumables and the Web, brand names of the like of Hewlett-Packard, Apple Computers, Nads, Nudies, Facebook, You Tube, and Google are all success business stories with started in the humble home garage and were driven by people with a real passion for their work. However, not all new businesses become success stories as many businesses fail within the first year of operation. Major reasons cited for business failure are lack of planning, lack of capital and economic conditions. It is important at the initial phases of starting up or purchasing a business that you do your homework and plan. Develop a business plan which is workable, flexible and realistic. Business managers commonly underestimate
costs, fail to price their product or service correctly and over estimate projected income. Lack of capital funding and business cash flow shortage may also strain business success. Businesses fail to factor economic conditions or are unable to make changes in the time to stay afloat. Ensure that you have sufficient working capital which will allow the business to continue its operation for a considerable amount of time in the event that there is a slow down in revenue. You must take into consideration all expenses that are incurred in the business including rent, wages, taxation and legal fees. Seek financial advice form us on how much you can borrow, obtain the best interest rates and always negotiate. Ask lots of questions and expect thorough answers. A good banker should be prepared to give you advice on all your banking requirements. You will need to grasp an understanding of what you expect to get from your
business. How many hours are you willing to work daily? What experience can you bring to the business? Is your product or service better or cheaper? How will you market your business and products? Review the market place and surrounding competition. Will location and presentation affect your turnover? Can you improve existing operations and how? Review your product costing and mark-ups. Will you require full time or part tie staff? Employ the right staff for the particular role. What award and work conditions will these employees come under? In the initial planning phase, you will also need to decide on a business structure that is right for you. You may decide to set up as a sole trader, Partnership, Company or as a Family Trust. You must also consider Tax File Number (TFN), Australian Business Number (ABN) and Goods and Service Tax (GST) registrations. Speaks to us about the advantages and disadvantages of each structure and the necessary

Franchising The Franchise Matchmakers FRANCHISEMART is an innovative concept in franchise selection that is launching its first international location in Sydney today. Although new to Australia, FRANCHISEMART has already become a quick success in the United States. The newest idea in the growing international franchise industry, FRANCHISEMART, is a revolutionary resource for those interested in a more efficient and effective way to research before investing in a franchise. The concept was developed by a group of franchising specialists with over 30 years of franchising experience. “There is nothing like it in Australia where both Franchisors and potential franchisees can safely be qualified and informed in such great detail prior to matching up,” says FRANCHISEMART Director Gareth Grant, who saw the potential to bring this concept to Australia in 2006. “We are unique in that we do not recommend one franchise business system over another. We have also developed an Australian model that includes a state-ofthe-art showroom plus the Smart Match Q&A tools to streamline the qualifying and

Gold for Fastest Growth at SmartCompany 2007 Awards Contours has again proven its unrivalled success, receiving the HP Fastest Growth Award at the SmartCompany 2007 Awards this month with an incredible growth figure of 782% over the last three years. The SmartCompany Awards discover Australia's smartest entrepreneurs who are changing the business landscape. The awards, based on 2006-2007 revenue growth rates, recognise the best entrepreneurs of 2007. The SmartCompany Awards compiled the SmartCompany50 - a list of 50 of Australia's fastest growing and innovative companies that are building national and international businesses - in which Contours ranked Number 1. Back in 2005, Contours founders David Hundt, Will Deane, Peter Hammond and Steve Sacks saw the success of express fitness franchise overseas and adopted the idea to the Australian market. Today, its innovative fitness concept continues to revolutionise the way Australian

women approach exercise. Contours' key success factors are based on its simple, effective marketing message: Get fit in 29 minutes, three times a week, and its simple franchising model that is Australian-based and easy to manage with monthly training sessions in sales and equipment.
“Contours has had a big impact on the health and fitness industry - almost all our franchises are profitable,” says David Hundt. “Women are busier than ever and are becoming more discerning about the most efficient way to get into shape.” Contours started in Bendigo three years ago and within 14 months the company had $1 million in revenue. Now it has 120
operating studios and more than 155 franchisees across NSW, ACT, WA, SA, Tasmania, Queensland and Victoria. The strategic goal is to have 300 studios with more than 300 members each. Contours' program is particularly popular among the 25-65 year-old age group, as women who are pressed for time due to family and work commitments can fit the short workout in to their busy schedule and still achieve results. Contours uses weight bearing equipment specifically designed for women with positive and negative resistance. This ensures a far superior workout to the hydraulic equipment often used by other mainstream gyms, providing quick, sustainable results and an increase in energy levels. For more information contact Contours on 1300 657 339 or visit www.contours.net.au.

Without the Autobarn franchise systems we would not be as successful as we are today.” Almost twenty years ago Roy and Rose

Autobarn Mackay Franchisees Roy and Rose Brownsey nineties and six years ago moved into a store double in size to grow their business. They have been awarded the Autobarn State Franchisee of the Year
award three years running. “The awards remind you of what you’ve got to keep doing to stay on top,” Roy noted, citing loyalty to suppliers and unquestionable customer service in addition to surrounding the business with great staff as key to their success. “It’s important that our team is recognised because without them we wouldn’t have a business.” Roy added, “We’re always listening to our staff, customers and suppliers so that we continually improve our business. That’s certainly contributed to our success over the past twenty years.” You’ll find Roy and Rose Brownsey at Shop 1, 17 Greenfields Boulevard, Mount Pleasant, North Mackay.

Cafe2U Celebrates 100 Franchises In January, Australia's most successful mobile café franchise, Café2U, will see its 100th franchise on the road. This includes 75 in Australia and 25 in the UK. If your New Year's resolution is to go into business for yourself, a discussion with Café2U could set you quickly onto this path. To celebrate the 100th Cafe2U, Café2U Australia are offering an Income Guarantee for the first 6 weeks of a new Cafe2U business. After building 100 small businesses, Cafe2U is extremely confident that the system can be applied quickly and easily. Starting in Sydney in 2000 then later franchised by new owners in 2004, the system has seen unsurpassed momentum due to its simple, yet winning formula. The business model has been successfully applied internationally by 100 franchisees, the majority of whom had never had either business or hospitality industry experience.
Entering the exploding coffee industry may seem daunting for many people, whether they have been in the hospitality industry or not. Negotiating rents, shop fit outs and staff is as daunting as the start up investment. A Cafe2U mobile café negates all of these concerns and allows the franchisee to concentrate on building relationships
with their customers and making great espresso coffee. Cafe2U franchisees generally refer to their “friends”, not their customers. “A typical day for a franchisee sees them make around 20 - 25 stops and serve around150 coffees. Our system is built on weekday success, so that any weekend bookings are an added bonus” says Alan Biddle, General Manager The extensive experience of its
professional and dedicated management team is also a huge benefit to new franchisees. “Since the majority of our franchisees have never been in business before, they find our simple business model with comprehensive training gives them a head start. Initial training starts in the classroom and ends on the road in the franchisees' own territory. Our Franchise Support Team have over 40 years combined experience in hospitality and are available 24/7. The franchisees never feel like they are in their business alone,” continues Biddle. Cafe2U's original concept has been copied by competitors but Cafe2U maintains undeniable market leadership by offering more than just a coffee van. The benefits of being part of a large franchise include competitive financial packages, insurance, business systems and group purchasing. Find out more by calling 1300 CAFÉ2U (1300 223 328), and don't forget to ask about the Income Guarantee.

Small Business Opportunities with Goodman Fielder Baking Australia Goodman Fielder (GF) is one of Australasia's leading food companies with a portfolio of leading brands, many of which are considered “icons� in the Australian and New Zealand food Markets. Baking Australia is a division of Goodman Fielder and is one of Australasia's leading bakery companies supplying a range of loaf breads, rolls, buns, muffins, crumpets and bakery ingredients across 30,000 retail and foodservice outlets every day.

Contractors deliver and provide customer service to regional Australia as well as capital cities. Customers range from large major Supermarket Chains, and Independents to small route customers and food service accounts such as schools, hotels, hospitals etc. The process for becoming a contractor involves attending an interview with Goodman Fielder representatives where

you can find out more about the opportunity as well as providing information on your strengths for a contracting role. Each contract involves establishing and maintaining a good rapport with customers, product ordering and adjusting orders, obtaining off-location opportunities, delivering, merchandising for selected customers, and adhering to
established processes and procedures. In order to have products in the marketplace by store opening time contractors need to commence from around midnight to 3am. Merchandisers normally work between 5.30am through to 8am where they take product off the shelf and place the delivered product on the shelf. Merchandisers then make a call in the afternoon where they top up and tidy up shelves and off-locations. Most contractors deliver product themselves
and employ a merchandiser and a relief driver. GF encourage potential contractors to take up a contract area that is close to where they live. This helps the contractor keep rapport with customers and monitor sales. A number of contractors have transferred interstate to be closer to their families or look for a lifestyle change. Currently there are vacancies in the booming economies of WA and Qld. There is a bimonthly contractor newsletter that keeps contractors updated on various issues as well as listing all vacant contracts. Contractors and Goodman Fielder have worked successfully together for over 8 years throughout Australia in growing sales and providing excellent customer service to GF customers. Please refer to the advertisement on the opposite page for details on making an inquiry.

Today it is the market leader in convenience retailing in Australia with over 360 stores along the eastern seaboard, open 24/7 The dominance of 7-Eleven in convenience retailing in Australia is set to continue with the business looking to further expand its franchise network. “We're number one in Victoria and Queensland and we are looking to improve our market share in New South Wales,” says 7-Eleven National Operations Manager Sue Owen. “It's a very competitive market and the challenge for us is to ensure we remain relevant to our customers and continue to meet their needs. “Playing a key role in meeting these challenges is our franchisees. For this reason we place a high importance on selecting the right people to own a franchise, as not everyone is suited to be part of a franchise system.” Potential franchisees must have an aptitude for retailing, an eye for detail, strong customer service skills and be prepared to work hard. “We're looking for people who can be team players, follow systems and recognize the importance of building our brand,” adds Sue. According to Sue, a 7-Eleven franchise is appealing to people looking to own their own business but who want to enjoy the benefits of being part of an international
brand. Since most 7-Eleven franchises for sale are existing stores, the initial investment can vary between $400,000 and $800,000 which includes fees, goodwill payment and stock. Under the franchise arrangement the 7-Eleven corporate team is responsible for site selection, building and fit out of the store, providing support and assistance with suppliers and also providing marketing and administrative systems. The franchisees run the day-to-day store operations in line with the franchise agreement and are responsible for staffing and stocking the stores as well as maintaining the store's image. “Our franchisees come from all walks of life, with many different nationalities choosing to become part of the 7-Eleven system,” says Sue. “7-Eleven provides potential franchisees with a relatively low risk option to enter into their own business through a tried and tested franchise model.” New franchisees undergo comprehensive in-store and classroom training prior to entering their store.

they go and we provide the entire backup for the franchisees,” said Graham.
“The idea came to me that consumers will go for the 'old fashion' milk and bread delivery if they know that it supports the farmers and the profits stay in Australia, and lets face we are all getting busier” said Aussie Farmers Direct Founder, Mr Graham Adams.
“With Aussie Farmers Direct, we source our milk from the Warnambool Cheese and Butter Factory with is largely owned by over 600 dairy farmers. Because we buy direct, the farmers can reap a higher profit and we can deliver their product at the same supermarket price and everybody wins,” said Shane.
“By cutting out the middle man, we can sell direct and cover the delivery cost,” said Aussie Farmers Direct Marketing Manager, Mr Shane Hodskiss. “Nearly 85% of all groceries that people purchase each day in Australia are made from foreign-owned companies. Interestingly in countries such as Japan, 85% of their groceries are made from Japanese companies,” said Shane. “There is a huge demand for consumers to purchase locally made products if they know that the profits will stay in Australia and help the local farmers,” added Shane. Aussie Farmers Direct works on a franchise model where owners are given an exclusive territory and the company provides them with the leads, sales backup, and billing and collection of the money. “The business model is simple, that's why it works. There are no contracts to sign. The consumers pay as
“We have the support of the Victorian Farmers Federation who checked out our claim that we are 100% Australian owned and matched our marketing claim,” said Graham.
The milk, bread and orange juice industry is in excess of $3 billion per annum. Aussie Farmers Direct believes that they should capture at least 25% of the direct sale market, thereby creating a $700 million industry potential. “With our Franchise system people can buy products from a local small business operator who only delivers locally made and owned produce. It's about time we started to think about where the items we consume are sourced and who makes the money from this.” Said Shane

Surviving in Business Surviving in business requires a range of commercial, personal and management skills. To survive in tough times means careful management of your business and being extra alert to financial, operational, management and marketing issues. The points below will get you thinking about these issues.
Finance Cash shortages can prevent you from meeting your financial obligations and make it difficult to expand your business. In some cases it will mean you will need to close your business. It is important to know your cash flow position. To manage your cash flow, take note of the following tips.
Account for Every Dollar and Cent • Install an accounting system that produces relevant financial reports and meets tax requirements. • Keep your financial records and bookkeeping up to date. • Use the information in your accounting system to draw up a budget and cash flow forecast. • Manage your cash inflow and outflow

- be prepared for anticipated tax instalments and other payments. Do your banking regularly, both for security reasons as well as keeping track of your cash flow. Reconcile your bank statements regularly, double-checking receipts and payments with your own records. Ensure that you receive, record and retain all tax invoices for GST taxable purchases to support your claim for input tax credits. Consider visiting your accountant every three months to review your business performance.
Money Matters • Bill your customers early and often. • Keep a detailed account of all your debtors and act promptly on overdue accounts. • Promptly follow up any dishonoured cheques. • Consider offering discounts for cash sales or early payments of credit purchases. • Consider alternatives to improve your sales terms, eg lay-by terms, payment terms, credit terms.
• Keep a detailed list of amounts that you owe. Your debts may build up without your knowing. • Use payable credit terms to your benefit, increasing the effectiveness of your cash flow. • If suppliers want to be paid early, ask about discounts for early payments.
Final Money Tips • Manage your investment debt. Don't over-borrow. • Keep some cash for rainy days. • Don't over-commit your personal expenses. Better Business Tip Remind your staff never to pay accounts if they have not been provided with a tax invoice bearing an ABN. Never assume that your staff understands the importance of collecting valid invoices and receipts - or you could find yourself at the end of the financial period with a very large pile of non-claimable receipts. Keep in mind that bottom line profitability is often dramatically affected by the sum of many deceivingly small expenses. continued on page 36

Management • Use professional advisers the money this costs is an investment, not just an expense. • Watch trends in your business and the economy, review your business plan and update regularly. • Regularly review your business performance and identify if you have met your goals. • Review business insurance policies annually to ensure that coverage is appropriate. Better Business Tip If your workday is out of control, consider a period of "no phone" time. By setting aside at least a couple of hours each day where you don't take any phone calls, you'll be able to make progress on important tasks (such as returning yesterday's phone calls). The phone is a great tool but don't be a slave to modern communication technology. Better Business Tip Regularly plan time blocks to do the more mundane management tasks in the business, such as filing and account keeping. If your files, paperwork or accounts are in complete disarray, set aside a whole day to get up-to-date. The best strategy is to implement management and administrative systems in your business to make it easier to keep affairs orderly on a day-to-day basis.

Better Business Tip Don't neglect training. Try one of your local workplace training organisations for upgrading basic skills in your workplace. If you are a regional business requiring specialised training, have only a few employees and can't afford to send them to the city, invite your competitors to join with you and share the cost of bringing a professional trainer to your area to train all of your staff jointly. Working together will only improve the performance of all of your businesses. This must ultimately be of benefit to your industry.

Consult staff and advisers to identify ways to improve the efficiency of the office and production/service delivery processes. Better Business Tip Sometimes employees know more about what's happening in the company than you do. Give them a chance to have their say and always show you're interested.

Buying a Business. Beware the Pitfalls You can avoid most of the big mistakes in buying a business by doing some simple homework before hand. A little due Tony Arena diligence will go a long way towards ensuring your business purchase is a wise and fruitful one. When the time comes for you to sell, you will have a business of value. 1. Take a good look at the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the business. Do a SWOT analysis. Take particular note of why the business exists and ask “Will continue to exist in ten years time? Will you be able to continue to do the things necessary to keep the business relevant in today's business environment.” 2. Buy a business with a track record. Five years is preferred, three is a minimum requirement. Track record gives you a history and sales trend. 3. Buy a business that has image, brand
& reputation. Consider how much money it takes to build a brand. 4. Ensure that the business has registered all relevant designs, patents and trademarks. Often Intellectual Property is the chief asset a business has to sell. 5. Investigate the quality of the products and services delivered by the company. It is often too hard to turn around a company dogged by faulty products or bad service. 6. Ensure that supplier contracts are in place and in writing where possible. 7. Be careful that the business is not reliant on one supplier. What if the supplier stops supply or closes down? The same applies to the basket of clients. A good spread is safer in each case. 8. The lease must be of sufficient length and contain reasonable terms. Is the property available for sale? 9. Investigate the reason for sale. The most genuine reason for sale is retirement. If the vendor is
claiming the business 10. Investigate whether there are any key employees and what you will do to ensure they stay on, if required. 11. Does the business have a good credit rating? An unhealthy credit rating is a sing of poor business performance. 12. How well is the business systemised? Good systems ensure the risk in taking over the business is reduced. Is computerisation completed? The question for the buyer is “How much will it take to complete the systemisation of the business?” 13. Check key ratios in the business. Are there marked changes from year to year. E.g. does gross profit or net profit change considerably from year to year. Are stock levels consistent from year to year, taking into account normal rise and fall, or business cycles? If not why not? Compare the business year to year and then with industry averages. 14. Ensure you have enough working continued on page 42

capital to get you through the whole year and beyond. Most businesses fail because they run out of money. How much working capital does the current owner need? 15. Make an accurate assessment of the competition. Where is the company strong and why? What are the competitive threats? 16. Stock can be a killer. Beware of a business that carries a lot of stock. Is the stock all “good and saleable”? 17. Check equipment for its durability. Is the equipment up to date? Will you need to make replacements in the near future? What will that cost” 18. Check all the local gossip. Speak to people in the vicinity of the business to
find out any rumours or changes in circumstances that could be the motivator for the business sale. 19. Ask yourself whether you could operate the business. Envisage yourself being in the place of the owner. Is the owner personally involved in the business to the detriment of the business itself? Will all the goodwill you are paying for leave the business with the vendor? How can you insure against this? Will the vendor allow you to defer payment or pay on performance? Will the vendor consider vendor finance? 20. Don't let emotion cloud your judgment. And remember there's always another business around the corner. To find out more visit www.buyafranchise.com.au

Gourmet Sno Cones Tropical Sno was founded in April 1984 when the first Tropical Sno hut opened in Provo, Utah USA. Since that time, over 200,000,000 Tropical Sno Gourmet Sno Cones have been sold throughout the world. With over 2,000 dealers worldwide, in over 18 different countries, Tropical Sno is one of the leaders in the Shave Ice Industry. Tropical Sno "Gourmet Sno Cones" is a unique business opportunity to Australia, enjoying high brand awareness as well as a loyal customer following. This is mainly due to the unique natural tasting flavours and shave ice that literally melts in your mouth. The basic flavours were originally imported to Australia just over 6 years ago by Russell Torrance and Bob Russell. The SnoCart, and just released Mini Trailer, are real eye catchers. Designed and manufactured in NSW from durable fibreglass construction, they are health compliant, easy to clean, and allow you to sell on the move. Since its early days, Tropical Sno has established a company culture built on family. Our Licencees are considered an important part of our business. As a
Tropical Sno Licencee you will be working with a great team of people committed to bringing to the Australian market place true to life tasting ice confectionary that is like eating freshly fallen snow! By becoming a Tropical Sno Licencee you will associate yourself with the most widely recognised name and logo in the Shave Iced Industry.
Our aim is “To provide a unique experience for every Australian tastebud.” Since its introduction to Australia in 2001, the concept has evolved into what it is today. Our future plans include expanding our current network into the Asian region where shaved ice is already known but the quality of the flavours and professional presentation are sadly lacking. Taking a simple idea and product and making it as professional as humanly possible is our passion.
Why Choose Tropical Sno? • • • • • •
Low Start-Up Costs Low Overhead and Maintenance Costs Low Cost of Goods Easy to Learn Broad Acceptance High Return On Investment
Tropical Sno Australia requires enthusiastic people looking to be in business for themself but not by themself. Tropical Sno Licencees have no territories and no ongoing licence fees. With over 30 licencees in Australia and New Zealand now is the time to join the team and benefit from a ground floor entry into this opportunity. Based in Newcastle NSW we are ideally situated to service all our licensees and provide support and backup. With an average 800-900% mark-up on the product payback is usually measured in days, weeks and months, not years. In summary Tropical Sno is profitable!

Throughout Australia those parties acting as agents for vendors or purchasers of existing businesses must be Licensed Agents. In fact, in NSW this has been the case since 1935, when the government enacted legislation designed to protect the public from unscrupulous operators. All funds paid to an agent, including any pre-paid advertising expenses, must be deposited in the agent’s trust account, and accounted for to his Principal. If the agent misappropriate funds, he can be prosecuted under the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act, and the aggrieved party can get restitution by claiming upon a compensation fund. However, the fund is ONLY available to you if you have used the services of a Licensed Agent.
to defraud customers vendors in particular) of thousands of dollars, which they have claimed for marketing and advertising expenses. Should you be approached by someone representing themselves as an agent, who wants you to list a business for sale, and who asks for pre-paid advertising and marketing expenses, ask for their License Number. Then call the Department of Fair Trading to check if the number is genuine. To be absolutely certain, deal only with a member of the Real Estate Institute Business Agents’ Chapter. All members of the Institute are Licensed Agents, and are bound by a code of ethics. Call the Real Estate Institute of NSW on (02) 9264 2343.
Most agents are genuine, but bogus agents have been known Australian Business For Sale™ 159
