Reece Arcon – “My Life In The Express Lane” Ever heard the phrase ‘Stop wishing and start doing’? Reece Arcon is the ‘doer’ that started Express Business Group; taking a simple idea and Reece Arcon turning it into a multi-million dollar international franchise company. All entrepreneurs can do great things, but when you have an entrepreneur with a heart of gold, a stubborn determination, a passion for doing the impossible and just the right amount of crazy – that’s when the magic happens. Franchise Director, Reece Arcon was never one to conform to the norm and while his friends were heading to university and getting fulltime jobs Reece wasn’t interested in making someone else rich and knew he wanted to be his own boss. Against all the odds and the apprehensions of those around him, he put his life savings towards starting a business at just 18 years old. Reece experienced firsthand the challenges new business owners’ face – an enormous outlay of capital which usually results in a large bank loan, a lack of support, a need for ongoing marketing and advertising; the list goes on.
4 Australian Business For Sale ®
“I thought, wouldn’t it be amazing if someone could offer a franchise that incorporates all these things without a ridiculous price tag?” Reece said. It was the ‘lightbulb’ moment that Reece needed to set his sights on a new goal – an allinclusive, affordable franchise opportunity. He partnered with someone that he knew could take his dream further and bring the mentorship and business knowledge Reece so desperately craved. Before long Express was born and thriving. “We started from the bottom and did everything ourselves. We developed a training program, we researched the industry, sourced suppliers, created all the marketing materials, eventually bought an office and before long we had leads coming in from all over Australia,” Reece recalls. Reece was never shy of getting his hands dirty and putting in the hard yards. Whether he was filling chemical orders in the warehouse or pulling all-nighters travelling around Australia to meet with prospective Franchisees, ‘no’ was not phrase you heard from Reece Arcon. Even as the company has grown extensively, Reece still makes an enormous effort to personally answer any questions new Franchisees have and answer
Franchisees calls. Know any other Directors who do this? Neither do we! He only brings on people he knows can mirror the passion he feels for small business and the drive to always achieve more. This is evident in Express Master Franchisors who are in place to ensure Franchisees have support at a Regional, State and National level. In the past five years, Express have helped over 2,500 people in three different continents realise their dreams and become their own boss, developed over 30 different divisions and established themselves as one of the fastest growing franchise companies in Australia. Confident that the systems developed in Australia can translate internationally, Reece Arcon has recently launched Express Business Group in New Zealand and has now temporarily relocated to Austin, Texas to do it all over again and make Express a household name in the USA. His passion for business has always been based on his love of helping people and this is evident even now, five years on. So what are you waiting for? Join one of Australia’s fastest growing franchise networks today. For more information call 1300 397 737.

3 Tips Every Business Owner Should Follow
Bartercard CEO Clive van Deventer
In business it’s important we continually challenge ourselves and set the benchmark higher each time we reach a goal. For Bartercard, 2015 has been all about re-energising our member experience through new technology and thinking outside the box to offer more convenience and innovation to the marketplace. As 2015 shapes up to be a big year, these are approaches we recommend every business owner follows. 1. Go digital In 2015 digital marketing continues to shape the way consumers are being reached. More than half of internet users go online to assist their spending decisions, and the most successful businesses work hard to establish pre-eminence in the
digital space – helping them to listen and respond to customers instantly, cater to their market more specifically, and enhance the consumer experience through an integrated digital strategy. Shop any reputable brand and you will see its website, social media and stores are all strategically aligned to lead the customer to spend. If you are not digital, you are missing out on a big slice of your market. 2. Think disruptive Disruptive ideas and business models requiring less resources to undercut bigger companies aren’t just successful because of the lower capital requirements. Where the structure and rigidity of big business precludes fast action and execution, smaller disruptive models with less corporate layers are coming out on top, or are using technology to cater to their customers’ needs in better ways, thus reshaping industries and changing consumer habits. Think long distance calls (Skype), record stores (iTunes), libraries (Google), over-the-counterrentals (Netflix), stores (eBay), taxis (Uber) and newspapers (Twitter). Companies catering to their customers with disruptive solutions are cutting it in 2015.
3. Be technology focused Technology is constantly reshaping the way we do business, from the way we meet and convey information to the way consumers are spending. For many business owners, introducing new technology in the workplace can be a daunting area as it removes the certainty of archaic systems that have always been in place. Disruptive business models offering competitive market solutions and more efficient customer service are all technology-based; the only way to keep up is to embrace it. It’s a good idea to periodically look back on your results to see what you can be achieving better, and reassess your business direction each time you set a new goal in place. Take a bird’s-eye view of your business and start planning ahead with these tips.

Can You Afford to Franchise Your Business?
Most businesses that franchise don’t have enough capital at the outset. The lack of capital to grow is a fundamental reason why businesses adopt franchising as their growth strategy in the first place. This is referred to as the capital constraints theory to explain why franchising occurs. The difficulties arising from a lack of capital for start-up franchisors can be due to an underestimation of the costs involved, or the requirement to outlay money in preparing the business for franchising before it can actually receive any external capital from franchisees joining the system. So whether a business franchises or not, it is still likely to face the problem of a lack of growth capital. So how much do you need before you start franchising? The answer will depend on your individual circumstances and existing preparedness. If you do not have the funds to open and operate additional outlets to demonstrate proof of your concept, you will need a lot more capital before franchising than other businesses which already have multiple outlets. Establishing additional outlets to determine proof of concept may be necessary regardless of whether or not franchising is chosen as the preferred growth strategy, so it could be argued that this is a generic capital requirement, rather than one specific to franchising. Likewise, refining and documenting your operating 8 Australian Business For Sale ®
For these costs alone, the capital required will vary according to the nature of the business itself. If, for example, the business is a mobile, home-based service business, these franchisespecific costs could be roughly equal to or slightly greater than the price at which franchises may be subsequently offered. (eg. if it is anticipated that future franchises will be offered at say $30,000 each, then it is likely that the start-up franchisor will need to spend this much up front to cover their franchise-specific costs). If on the other hand the business is a fixed location service or retail business with much greater complexity than a home-based service business, and consequently will incur greater expense after fitout, equipment and stock for a franchisee to acquire, so too will the franchising-specific costs be greater in overall dollar terms, but lower as a proportion of a future franchisee’s investment. For example, if a coffee shop is to be franchised and would be offered to potential franchisees at an initial all-up investment of $250,000, then the aspiring franchisor would probably incur franchising-specific costs of somewhere between onefifth and one third of this amount (ie. between $50,000 and approximately $80,000).
Remember that the examples given above refer only to franchising-specific costs, and that significant other costs will be incurred to establish proof of concept, system documentation, and monitoring systems regardless of whether franchising or another multi-outlet growth strategy is chosen. Only after these costs have been incurred is a business truly ready for franchising, so if it doesn’t have sufficient capital to cover these outlays from the beginning, then its chances of franchising successfully are limited. In spite of this, there are many entrepreneurs who proudly claim that they started franchising their businesses without any money, but then later admit they would do things very differently (with a lot more planning and capital resources beforehand) if they had their time over again.
Business owners thinking of franchising their business must be cautious to fully assess the costs of firstly preparing their business for growth, and then preparing it for franchising before committing to a course of action. Franchise consultants offering to franchise your business for you for a five or six figure sum should be queried in depth about the proportion of the fees that will be expended on generic preparation for growth, and the proportion of fees that will be expended on franchising-specific costs. If you are not satisfied with the answer provided, or feel that the costs involved are prohibitive, then be prepared to walk away. After all, franchising is a great way to grow a business, but it’s not the only way to grow a business. www.franchiseadvice.com.au

procedures, and establishing monitoring systems to remotely assess the performance of outlets could also be argued as a cost that must be incurred regardless of whether franchising or some other multi-outlet method of growth is chosen. This would leave the cost of developing franchisee recruitment procedures and promotion, training and induction systems, plus the cost of legal documentation as the only costs specific to franchising that potentially won’t be found in other growth strategies.

79,000 business format franchise units in 2014,” says FCA General Manager Kym De Britt.
That’s why the Franchising & Business Opportunities Expo, held in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, is so popular year after year – it showcases a wide range of businesses under one roof, as well as offering expert advice and information.
“The importance of undertaking thorough research cannot be emphasised enough to any prospective franchisee,” he adds. “It’s important to understand whether franchising is the right business model for you, and if you decide it is, to find out all you can about the franchise system you are considering becoming a part of.
“It’s great being able to research business opportunities on the internet, however nothing can replace a real person explaining the ins and outs of their venture,” explains Exhibition Manager Fiona Stacey. According to the Franchise Council of Australia (FCA), franchising has been remarkably successful in Australia, with Australia/NZ having the world’s highest per capita penetration of franchised systems in the world. “Franchising is a successful and fast growing part of Australia's small business landscape, directly employing more than 460,000 people across an estimated

Taking Action on Overdue Business Debts by Evan Kambourakis, Dip. A, B. Com, ASA In Australia, thirty percent of business crashes are due to bad debts and cash flow problems. A planned systematic approach to effectively control the collection of overdue debts could prevent such failures. It is very important to be constantly taking some action on overdue accounts. The most effective way of collecting outstanding debts is by way of reviewing, and categorising these under the following four headings:-
time to resolve. These accounts need to be reviewed closely and an effort should be made to amicably resolve any disputes. If communication with the client fails, hire a debt collection agency or take more serious action yourself. If this step fails take legal action. 3. Accounts just due
1. Untouchables
These are current invoices that are not bad but clients that are classified as slow payers.
Debtors that you are not following through with at this point but include write offs, work for friends and relatives or sensitive customers.
Send a reminder to pay and follow through with a telephone call to the client after 7 days. If the client cannot pay now offer a payment arrangement.
Diarise a time to review these and classify these in one of the headings below.
4. Small accounts long overdue
2. Special Consideration Extremely large or old debts, may take
Send out a reminder letter. After 10 days send an additional reminder letter. If the debt is still not paid take more serious action.
Always make sure the debt is in order and that you have evidence to support its legitimacy. You should develop an ongoing strategy for the collection of debts. We at St. Clair partners can assist and develop this strategy for you. You should be a member of a Credit Rating Agency where you can have listed details of debtors who refuse to pay. Furthermore, obtain through the courts a judgement which allows you up to 20 years to collect or as the last step, if the debt is over $10,000 bankrupt the debtor or liquidate the Company. These are last resort actions.

Should I Diversify My Business?
Natural Therapies - Maribyrnong VIC
by Marc Hurwitz, B. Com, (Accounting) There are many potential benefits to diversifying your business, but only if your business is ready to branch out. Diversification will occur in a business when there is a desire/need/opportunity for a new service or product. This can happen by either adding new products that are similar to your existing range of products or adding in a completely new range of products or services. The main reasons a company will diversify are: to create new income streams, increase company profile and adapt to seasonal changes. 1. Create new income stream: this gives you a wider range of sources to generate income and allows you to generate income if one of your sources of income dries up. This can be extremely important if you are in a monopoly as eventually there will be competition.
2. Increase company profile: your profile will increase with customers as you are able to offer a wider range of products to existing customers. You are also able to expand into new markets and attract new customers. 3. Adapt to seasonal changes: this will generally apply to business that has seasonal income eg: farmer, tour operator. So to compensate for downturn in income from your core business during certain times of the year you will expand your product/ service range. You should only diversify if your core business is stable. This is due to the fact that the new product/ services will normally require significant resources and this should be planned not to affect the core business. Paul St. Clair (02) 9221 4088

When You See a Business That Truly Stands Out, Ask Yourself What Distinguishes That Firm’s Performance From Its Competitors? By Bob Lyon Before I take on a client I stop and look at everything about that industry that could gripe, frustrate or irritate a potential customer. I ask people what irritates them. I try to internalize the same problems so I can experience the customer’s frustration when I create my client’s marketing. I write down on paper precisely what aggravating problems I want my client to promise to correct - all the problems someone could have who seeks out my client’s product or service. I then examine companies in my client’s field who are doing things right by addressing one or more of the problems on my list.
above your competitors. When you see a business that truly stands out, ask yourselfWhat distinguishes that firm’s performance from its competitors? Once you find an answer, record it, and then employ that same technique in your business. Here is my suggested worksheet: 1. Things I can't stand in other businesses. 2. What would I do if I were in that business to overcome that problem? 3. How I can adapt the positive side of that negative observation over to my business? 4. Things firms do that impress me.
I look at a lot of different industries looking for the undisputable winners’ in each field.
5. How I can adapt that technique into my business’s marketing operation?
Why?
6. Terrible ads I've seen.
Because many successbuilding techniques that work for one firm in one industry are adaptable to others. In fact, most are useful.
7. How could they be improved?
Here’s a suggested worksheet to modify or add to.
8. What salesman/woman has impressed me? How and why?
Carry it with you all day
9. How can I adapt that positive impression to my marketing?
Keep a set in the car when you're driving and listening to the radio.
10. What turnoffs have I been subjected to by salespeople?
Keep them handy at home or 'in the office.
11. How could that negative be converted to positive?
Every time you see or hear something that irritates you, assume that it irritates the heck out of most everybody else and jot it down. To remedy this problem or its equivalent in your industry can lift your business head and shoulders
12. How could I adapt that positive?

Would You Buy Your Own Business? My wife was once asked, “Knowing what you know now about your husband, would you marry him again?” To tell you the truth; she had to think about it. To me this is an important question to think about, not only for your personal relationship but also in terms of you and your business. Think of it like this. Have you ever showcased how great your business is? Each and every day are you consciously choosing to have your business be on sale? Or are you like most business owners and have simply take for granted what you do, how you do it, and why you do it? I invite you, from this moment of reading this article, to commit to getting your business sold. Whether that is in one month, one year or in
fact right now. By committing to this the benefit to you is that you will not only honour the blood sweat and tears that you’ve been investing in this business, you are highly likely to respect yourself and your business enough to attract the right buyer, for the right price. Here are three tips to get your business ready for it’s new owner. 1. Define your potential buyer: create a profile of who you believe your business is suitable for. Any potential buyer will have a checklist of what they’re looking for. Therefore, do your research because the more you can understand your buyer; the better it will be to package your business for that buyer’s needs. 2. Educate: prepare to educate your buyer so that they can make a decision. While they might come with a checklist, you know more about your business than they do. Think like an industry leader; what’s
Restaurant l Pakenham l VIC
by William de Ora So if I were to ask you “Knowing what you know about your business, would you buy it again” how might you answer it?
going on in your sector, what is possible for the future. The more information that you can have available, the better it will be for you and the buyer. If you believe that your business is a viable investment, so too will your buyer.
Above all else, honour, respect, and value who you are, what you have been willing to do with and for your business. And, if you feel that you have a blindspot regarding the true value and qualities of your business, then find a business broker who can bring a fresh perspective for you.
3. Value the business: the ultimate reflection of the value of the business is the price. There are many valuation methods used to assess a business. However, in the final analysis, a business is ultimately worth what you’re willing to pay for it. Selling a business is no different to selling anything, and no one wants to show his or her hand. Ask any business broker and they’ll say that their biggest issue with business owners is that they ask for an unrealistic price when selling their business. Therefore, think about your business from the perspective of how much you would pay for it.

As part of a small shopping complex, it sits on the road to the bay’s iconic jetty and is directly facing the caravan park.

There is seating internally for around 60 guests, and around 16 on the outside. Beach Bistro’s internationally-themed menu is supported by a huge kitchen area which features all the necessary equipment and facilities, and there is potential to
develop additional culinary ideas. The awarding of a liquor license has enabled Beach Bistro’s current owners to operate a wide range of events like theme nights, music nights, celebrations, corporate catering, and the artwall which allows local artists to showcase and sell their works is popular with guests, and gives the dining area a unique atmosphere. Unusually low rent and manageable outgoings allow the business to develop and prosper. The state government’s commitment to grow the town means that the client base is likely to continue to grow.
