Australian businesses took a hit in 2022, with the largest recorded quarterly rise to the cost-of-living index since September 2000 – but they won’t catch a break just yet. Economists predict a looming recession in the year ahead. Despite the wary forecast, however, new research reveals that half (48 per cent) of small-tomedium businesses are still looking to expand in 2023.
a new survey of an independent panel of 210 business owners and decision makers, commissioned by business loan comparison site small Business loans australia, found that whilst 48 per cent of businesses planned to expand in 2023, more than double the number australian businesses will focus on expansion in 2023 (48 per cent), than those in 2022 (22 per cent), 2020 (20 per cent), 2021 (17 per cent) and 2019 (18 per cent).
across the states and territories, the highest proportion of businesses focusing on growth are in Western australian businesses, with 88 per cent of businesses having expanded since 2019. although s outh australia held the largest number of businesses focusing on growth in 2022 (26 per cent), they are set to be overtaken by the aC t in 2023, with 60 per cent of businesses intending to focus on growth this year. t hey will be followed closely
by Queensland and n ew s outh Wales, with 52 per cent and 51 per cent of businesses focusing on growth this year, respectively.
alon Rajic, Founder and Managing Director of small Business loans australia, says: “o ur research indicates that regardless of a potential economic slowdown, sMEs will continue to be resilient against hardship. With the risks of a recession, however, businesses are best to make smart financial choices when expanding.”

all dwelling types including volume builds, partial customisation and complete custom.
Specialised advice is provided for single dwellings, subdivisions and multiple townhouse/unit developments.

our build support in general has remained consistently strong. The business model allows us to be adaptive.
What is Ninedots’ approach to Marketing?
Our business core is based on relationships so we’ve been lucky enough to grow the business quite organically through our business structure and referral partners so to be honest formal marketing to date has been quite minimal. That being said, with the franchise launch we’re excited to be taking the next steps with marketing opportunities and bedding down what’s worked so well for us so far. We’re looking forward to growing our marketing footprint relative to growing our franchisee partners.
Where are you looking to launch new Franchises?
With the success of any great business, comes curiosity, how did it all begin?
Where we are today with the business is collective of so many things. Seeing a gap in the market for those going through the new build journey played a part while having a creative flair and industry knowledge made it possible to do something about it. I think the success of the business comes from having a genuine desire to help people and having a love for homes in general. I grew up in a commission home that my mum was lucky enough to land in a fairly wealthy area. I loved our house, it was our home, but I was always intrigued by the big homes around me. I think that really spurred my love for the industry.
I love how the business structure allows for a win for clients, builders and us as business owners. Mutual success all round. It’s also extremely rewarding being able to improve the build process and outcomes for people given it’s such a large undertaking.
How have Ninedots overcome challenges around Covid, trade and material shortages and interest rate rises?
Like many businesses we’ve had to adapt to market challenges but for the most part it’s given us confidence in our business model. The demand for individual services fluctuates with market changes but the demand for
Overtime we aim to have a presence in all residential growth corridors and prominent knock down rebuild areas but the roll out will depend on where we find the right people.
What skills would be required to take on a Ninedots Franchise?
Successful Ninedots franchisees would need to have experience in the residential construction industry and be able to genuinely add value to a client’s new home build journey. Knowledge of the construction process and excellent rapport building and communication skills will set franchisees up for success, and we’ve found being friendly, motivated, personable and having a high regard for customer service goes a long way.
Yes, we’re really excited to be providing extensive personalised training and early stage business support to franchisees in order to develop the expertise we’re renowned for. Franchisees will receive full behind the scenes access with our ‘Ninedots Franchisee Training Program.’
If you could hand pick your next Franchisee who would it be?
I’d say it would be a good display home consultant! One that is friendly, knowledgeable and customer focussed. They might be over working weekends, wanting to be able to help clients beyond their current limited sales range and they would be self motivated and excited by the opportunity to be in business for themselves.
Changing conditions, both economically and socially, create new opportunities. Of course, changing conditions also mean some previously stable sections of the economy lose their value and even their viability.
In this article, I will examine how these changes shape our future as consumers and therefore impact on the fall and rise of new small business opportunities. And of course, small business opportunities includes franchise opportunities.
Let’s start with perhaps the most obvious example – one that is most visible every time we go out shopping. For decades, when people needed or wanted to buy something, they went out to a shopping centre, browsed the stores and bought over the counter. But changes to this entrenched behaviour started when businesses of all kinds went online. Traditional shop windows gave way to online stores and merchandise on shelves became a digital catalogue on a website, with purchases made in a shopping cart with a credit card and the goods delivered the next day via a courier or the post. The result: retail
shops became less important and so less viable for their proprietors.
By the time the pandemic hit, this trend accelerated rapidly to the point where retail shops were becoming no longer relevant. In many cases, traditional shops were actually a financial burden, with high rental and staffing costs and very few walk-in customers. Shopping had become an online activity where customers used their laptops and smart phone to buy almost everything. Postpandemic, and things have not returned to ‘normal’ and in any shopping centre or high street, there are empty shops for lease and “Staff wanted” signs.
For retailers, including franchise chains, the shop-front model is fundamentally changing. As a result, retail franchises are very difficult to establish and make viable and established shopfront franchises are very difficult to on-sell.
So, how does this trend impact on franchising and where are the opportunities? Enough said about premises-based retailing. The opportunities lie in the emerging area of home and business delivery of purchased goods direct from warehouse to customer’s doorstep. That is, mobile delivery services that deliver parcels direct to customers.
The obvious example of this is Amazon, but we see it everywhere. Home delivery services now include everything from pre-cooked meals, to clothing, to office supplies, to firewood – yes, even firewood, delivered in wheelie bins! You name it, you can buy it online and someone, often a franchisee, will deliver it to you in a van the next day.
Have you tried to book a tradesman recently? Someone to do some renovations, or fix up some storm damage? Almost impossible!
So, where are all the tradies? We can put some of this labour shortage down to stalled immigration or the desire to quit the rat race and live a better life. But this does not answer the real question why trade services are so hard to find.
In my opinion, it’s simply a question of supply and demand. The ‘supply’ of tradespeople hasn’t really changed that much over the past few years, but the demand for their services and skills has skyrocketed.
There are several reasons for this. Firstly, we’ve had a surge of disaster recovery with floods, fires and massive damage to personal property and infrastructure, and tradespeople are booked solid.
Then there’s the continuing housing boom. Despite a slowing of our population growth,
there’s a huge amount of internal migration; that is, people moving around Australia. This can be seen in the sea/tree change movement throughout the pandemic. Try buying or renting a house in regional Australia – there’s often nothing available. And even in our major cities, new outer suburban housing estates continue to soak up every available tradesperson and stock of materials. Herein lies the emerging opportunity for enterprising franchise companies. Many of these trades people are working as either employees of large firms or as sub-contractors and many of them would just love to quit the boss and go out on their own. A carefully structured trades services company offering a mix of “Work for yourself” franchises combined with “We find you the work” will inevitably attract a huge number of wellqualified prospective franchisees.
And with no shortage of available customer work, it’s a win-win for all involved – the franchise company, its franchisees and the frustrated customer. Trades services is a perfect example of how changing conditions create opportunities that are ideal for franchising.
The third example I will give is the rapidly expanding sector of caring for people in need. We’ve all seen media reports about failures by institutions, governments and service providers to meet quality care standards and even fill basic demand for in-home or facility care for people in aged care, or with other types of personal needs due to a variety of factors, such as age, disability or social disadvantage.
Without delving here into the pro’s and con’s of government action and reaction, this situation lends itself to franchising for enterprising businesses that adopt a strategy that serves the needs of all parties. Those parties being members of our communities in need of assistance and care, the staff who
provide the services and the government agencies responsible for overseeing proper service delivery and good governance.
To put the opportunity into perspective, let’s look at this as a ‘growth market’. Australia’s population is aging. In 2000, the percentage of Australians over 65 years was 12.4%. By 2030 (just 7 years away), our citizens over 65 years of age will represent 17.8% of our population. In number terms, there were 4.2 million Australians 65 years or older at 30 June 2020.
As our senior members of society age, they increasingly are in need of care, assistance and support. This comes in many forms; medical services, help with personal, social or mobility needs and simple things like inhome help with meal preparation, cleaning and even just social connection.
Government agencies are typically very bad at delivering these services – they are just not set up for this. But private enterprise usually is or can be good. Again, it’s a question of providing incentive and reward in the right place at the right time.
A service provider relying on employee labour at low rates of pay and poor working conditions is just compounding the problem. But a service provider, especially when structured as a franchised group and offering self-employment opportunities to trained and incentivised franchisees will find a ready and expanding market for high quality service in all forms of personal care. Plus, when such a business model is able to access government programs like NDIS or other seniors assistance programs, then it can easily become a viable long-term business model in which all participants are beneficiaries.
In each of the examples I’ve elaborated in this article, the underlying theme is:
• The past is never a guide to opportunities in the future.
• Disfunction and disruption create new opportunities for those who go looking.
• Incentivisation such as giving workers something better than they can obtain as an employee always provides a pool of people willing to work hard to build something for themselves.
• Franchising is the ideal vehicle for each of these factors in a changing economy and society.

“ Come on franchise entrepreneurs, the door is open. It just needs you to start shaking things up. For those who see opportunity in adversity, the future can be very bright indeed!”
The unique nature of the franchise model, with built in support and an established brand, means that people often use a franchise to make a major career segway or even to jump on a hot trend.
Many people have been questioning whether they still get the satisfaction and enjoyment from their work that they should and whether they are achieving a happy level of balance between work and life. It may be that making a dramatic change into a new industry is on the cards, whether you’re already a business owner or looking to go out on your own for the first time.
Going into an industry you’re not familiar with can be so exciting and energising but also a little scary. If you take cautious steps and get the support you need, it can be one of the most rewarding things you’ll ever do. I decided to make a significant career change and moved from a sales and engineering background to the owner of a Genesis Health + Fitness club. It’s been a wild ride but a very fulfilling one.
Here are five things I found very useful when making a move into unfamiliar territory:
1. check yourself: Why do you want to go into this industry?
It is important to ensure that you’re entering a new industry for the right reasons as that will give you a good base for success. Choice of industry is often
driven by potential – when you see a strong opportunity forthcoming, you want to capitalise on it. Sometimes it’s driven purely by passion, which can also be a wonderful base to work from. Just make sure it’s for the right reasons – if you’re making the move purely to run away from another industry or job, for example, it may not be sustainable and support your long-term goals. After nearly thirty years in software engineering, sales and management it was passion and belief in the wellness industry that drove me to purchase a gym franchise. The product offerings that Genesis Health + Fitness had was in sync with what I believed was needed in the market.
2. look at the risks
Analysing the business potential is usually the first thing you will do when you’re caught up in the excitement of a
new industry and business opportunity. Just make sure you look at the potential in detail, run the numbers and look at the risks too. It’s great to be optimistic but you shouldn’t ignore the risks when entering a new industry. Be prepared to survive the worst-case scenario. Give the risks the same analysis as you do the opportunities. There are certain external risks that cannot be controlled, but they can be managed.
Learn firsthand about the industry by listening to the views and words of wisdom from people who have spent their entire career in the industry. This is perhaps one of the major strengths of joining a good franchise network as there is a wealth of experience to tap into. You can attend networking events, conferences, volunteer at a similar business – there are plenty of opportunities to connect and learn. You might be lucky enough to also find a mentor. You can reach out directly to other franchisees and ask them any burning questions you may have. The benefit of coming into a new industry is that you bring a fresh and different perspective. Be open-minded, ask lots of questions, be a good listener and question everything.

With a long career in people management and sales, I knew I had those associated skills to offer to the business, but I didn’t have every skill needed to run the gym the best way it could be run. This is one of the reasons I chose to go down the franchise route – I was passionate about health and wellness, but I knew an established brand like Genesis had systems and appropriate procedures and KPIs in place that I could leverage off immediately. I had to build a team to compliment my own weaknesses. I knew having the right people in my team was critical for success. When you have the right people in the team, they will build a great business. Reward performance, treat your people like you want to be treated and give them autonomy with checks and balances in place.
Ultimately, that’s what got you to this point in the first place – that feeling in your gut, that little voice inside your head. Believe in your instinct. Quantify your instinct with a plan with constant check-ins to validate that gut feeling. Take on advice and listen to industry veterans but at the end of the day, make your own choice. Just because an industry does something a certain way and has been doing it that way for many years, it doesn’t mean you can’t challenge that if it feels right. Some of the biggest changes in history have happened because someone was prepared to challenge what was considered normal. Hold on to your passion and you can truly make your mark, even in an unfamiliar industry. v

Franchising has been operating in one form or another for the past 40 years in Australia and became a regulated sector under the Franchise Regulations which established the Franchising Code of Conduct in 1998.
Moving some years on, the world has changed so have franchisees expectations and the businesses sectors, which are suitable to licensing and franchising.
Franchising is no longer known for the fast food and hospitality sector it is a business model that suits many Business to Business and home service and support sectors and professional sectors.
We still see the same old franchise models being offered by franchisors, consultants, and lawyers despite these significant changes.
The basic premise of franchising for a franchisor is that a successful business owner with systems and branding in place can be replicated by the business owner (franchisor) granting individuals and small business owners a license to operate under their brand and system.
It enables quicker business and market expansion whether it is with more outlets in a state or territory interstate or overseas as opposed to the slow organic growth of a business hiring employees and managers to run their business.
For franchisees it is the opportunity to run your own business with the support, systems and marketing developed by the franchisor. Many franchises came under fire from a number of Parliamentary Inquiries the latest being the “Fairness in Franchising” inquiry in 2019/20 which resulted in more regulation of the franchise sector with a view to protecting franchisees.
The changes included issues such as greater disclosure of rebates, franchisee termination rights, disclosure about online sales and greater penalties for franchisors who fail to comply.
What’s wrong with existing franchise models?
The Government report released in 2020, identified a huge array of issues in the sector such as:
• misuse of marketing fund contributions paid by franchisees to their franchisor;
• a failure to provide any disclosure or proper disclosure required under the Code;
• a failure to disclose rebates and incentives franchisors receive from landlords or suppliers;
• a failure to act in good faith in dealing with disputes;
• misleading and deceptive conduct and false representations or promises as to expected revenues to entice franchises to sign up; and
• disputes about end of term arrangements and non-compete provisions.
In some cases, it was the franchisor or their support people bullying franchisees and engaging in simply bad behavior.
We act for franchisors, master franchisors and franchisees and are regularly involved in dispute resolution and mediations in commercial and franchise disputes acting for both sides.
The franchisee is not always right of course and can often be the cause or contribute to the dispute, by not following the system or by their own conduct however, the main complaints we receive from franchisees of their franchisors are:
• the franchisor and their staff show no respect to the franchisee;
• the franchisor is a ‘no show’ franchisorwe never see them – they appear to have no interest in us unless we do something
wrong, and they do not provide any real support;
• the franchisor forces stock on us when we cannot sell what we have; and
• the franchisor in addition to the royalties and marketing levies are also making a margin on products or services leading to a feeling of being “gouged” for fees while the franchisee cannot even draw an average salary for their effort, let alone get a return on their investment.
Responsible franchising is a term we use with our franchisors and new franchisors which includes not only ensuring compliance with the Franchise Code but in addition to this committing to the following:
• Being a force for good and ensuring everyone in the organization has the same objective.
• Ensuring the financial model works for the franchisee.
• Actively supporting and showing interest in the success or otherwise of their franchisee
• Accepting responsibility in part if the franchisee is not performing as expected.
We recommend that franchisors do their financial and cash flow projections not only for themselves but also from the perspective of the franchisee to ensure after all the fees are paid the franchisee can draw a salary and get a return on their investment.
A happy and productive franchise system is one where the franchisee is making money and getting rewarded for their effort!
Franchisees have greater expectations than in the past and this is more so post Covid.
Franchisees do expect a franchisor to:
• have a proper online CRM system;
• provide proper and meaningful training and support;
• offer products and services at competitive rates using the group purchasing power;
• share in any online sales revenue that may be lost by a retail store including sharing any rebates and incentives received by the franchisor;
• expect their franchisors to show interest in their well-being, personally operationally and financially; and
• be interested in their financial performance and provide support and assistance with marketing.
Franchisors and their consultants need to “think outside the square”.
As a fan of Edward De Bono’s lateral thinking concepts (vale poor Edward he died in 2020) we need to develop and offer a fairer, more attractive franchise model which provides a greater sharing of risk and a more equitable relationship.
• To avoid further Government intervention and regulation.
• To assist franchisees and help fund them into a franchise, as banks are tighter on lending criteria.
• To make the entry into a franchise more affordable.
For Franchisors the reality is often the right franchisee is the one that does not have the capital or funds to take up a franchise, while the franchisee who has the funds may be the wrong fit!
The trend is that over the past three years the upfront license or franchise fees has been reduced by many franchisees to make it more attractive and due to funding issues.
Despite this we still see some overseas
franchisors setting unrealistic up front franchise fees and wondering why they have no interest from prospective franchisees. The financial model must also be realistic and ensure the franchisee can take a salary for their effort and hopefully get a ROI.
James Baldwin (an African American writer –1924-1987) said “not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced”.
So, we cannot expect to meet the challenges that confront business today using yesterday’s mindset and models and expect to be at the forefront of business tomorrow. I should copyright that!
Branchising was a term coined by author David. D. Seltz in a text entitled “Branchising – Proven Techniques for Rapid Company Expansion and Market Dominance” first published in approximately 1960. He was way ahead of his time.
The term describes “business franchising” referring to the conversion of an existing company owned outlet to a franchise or licensed unit.
It has now moved on to describe a model where the franchisor establishes a new outlet in partnership with their franchisee in which they each hold equity, a shared equity model. The franchisor may sell its existing company owned outlet or a part interest in it, to recoup capital for further growth while retaining some degree of control and profit from the franchised unit.
A Branchise, is a franchise under Franchise Code.
The traditional franchise model is a vertical relationship where the franchisee is under the control and power of the franchisor. Calling your franchisee, a “franchise partner” does not change the fact that the franchisor
“ We recommend that franchisors do their financial and cash flow projections not only for themselves but also from the perspective of the franchisee to ensure after all the fees are paid the franchisee can draw a salary and get a return on their investment.
has that control and power imbalance and that is what creates the disharmony down the track.
The traditional franchise model has:
• onerous obligations on the franchisee;
• little if any real obligations on the franchisor;
• all power and control vests in the franchisor;
• good will, remains vested in the franchisor;
• royalties are generally payable on gross revenue (not profit);
• there is no sharing of risk or profit;
• the default provisions are severe with threat of termination;
• all capital costs are funded by the franchisee;
• additional fees and charges eat into the franchisee’s return;
• restraints on the franchisee at the end of term.
The Branchise model is a horizontal relationship representing a more equitable relationship whereby the franchisor and franchisee are in business together working for mutual benefit.
Each party has equity in the enterprise and therefore a vested interest in ensuring its success.
At the end, if the business is sold the franchisee will receive (based on their equity) their share of good will and along the way, their share of profit.
This model addresses many of the negative issues of the traditional franchise model including the funding issues that franchisees face in trying to borrow money to buy into a franchise as banks will no longer lend on a franchisee’s equity in their home to fund entry into a franchise.
In a Branchise, each party contributes their share of the up-front capital cost to establish the business. For example, if the overall startup cost is $500,000 and the franchisor has a 51% equity stake and franchisee 49% equity, the franchisor will contribute $255,000 towards the cost and the franchisee pays $245,000.
The franchisee runs the business with the support of the franchisor who is likely to be more attentive, as they have equity in the business while the franchisor relies on the energy and enthusiasm of the franchisee who has real “skin” in the game.
It is also less likely the franchisor will charge unnecessary or undisclosed fees to the franchisee entity as that will impact on the franchisors profit.
The franchisee also has more direct access to the franchisor’s financial management and support and decisions are made with the knowledge that they both have skin in the game.
Even where it is an existing franchise business bringing in an equity franchisee requires full disclosure under the Franchise Code.
Where it is an existing business of the franchisor being converted to a franchise, the franchisee can buy into the business which allows the franchisor to access capital for the value of the fit-out, stock, equipment and
good will (if any) which can be in lieu of the franchise fee.
As with any relationship, there is risk and it’s not all cigars and fine Japanese single malt whisky!
There is an added layer of complexity in that the parties become shareholders as well as in a franchise relationship.
This requires a carefully drafted shareholder or partnership agreement that governs the rights and responsibilities, exit rights, rights of first refusal and drag along and tag along rights that are generally included in any shareholder agreement.
In addition shareholders have minority oppression rights under the Corporations Act which may be used by a franchisee if there is a dispute.
Establishing an equity share model requires expert advice, experience and attention to detail.
It is not the right model for everyone, and it is not a magical solution. But it is becoming more popular and seen to be a more equitable model that addresses a number of the issues that caused dispute with the traditional franchise models.
Whether establishing a branchise model or a franchisee being offered an equity share model it is important to seek specialist legal and financial advice to understand your rights and obligations as there are many tricks and traps that an experienced franchise lawyer will be able to advise on. v

Over the past three years we have seen some massive changes in the franchise sector. COVID of course has meant many franchise groups like other business have had to rethink what their customers and staff want and change, streamline and tighten business accordingly.
Mobile businesses, online service, food trucks, takeaway food, have emerged as being growth areas and business management practices have had to change to embrace digital business and remote work.
The thing is – it’s been tough and every one of us has faced some remarkable challenges and had to change our business to make it successful through a very tricky time.
We are all hoping that 2023, the other side of COVID, will take us back to normal. But apparently normal isn’t that clear. So, I asked some of the extraordinary business and franchise experts I work with to give me their comments on two questions.
• What are the biggest questions you are hearing from people in business and franchise circles right now, and
• What are people predicting for the year or two ahead?
Unsurprisingly, there is a common thread giving us some clarity. Here is what they told me.
I start with Singapore-based Paul Dunn, Business for Good Master, TEDx Speaker and co-founder of B1G1 and Results Corporation because he lays the foundation…
“ We just don’t know what to do right now.” That’s the most common thing I’m hearing at this time.
And it comes from never-before-seen levels of uncertainty amongst business owners. And that’s not surprising at all — I cannot remember a year in business like 2022. Here we were supposedly coming out of the most un-settling 2 years we’ve ever experienced in business. The problem is though, our ‘systems’ are still unsure.
Put that another way … from a ‘mindset’ point of view we’ve been rocked — yes, we made it through but what the heck should we do now. In a sense, we haven’t ‘come out’ of these past few years at all.
And we can make all sorts of predictions on external circumstances for the next 2 years. But the most powerful one for me is an INTERNAL one — those with Clarity and Focus will get Momentum. Those that don’t, won’t. And momentum rarely if ever comes from battening down the hatches.”
Jeremy and Deb Harris from Grow CFO working with clever business financials tell me …
“The general feeling in the business community is caution - uncertainty with inflation, interest rates, media talk of recession, and labour shortages.”
“However, for those who study patterns of history, the prediction is that the next 2-3 years will be a massive bull run before a significant crash - now is the time to build on solid foundations and look for opportunities especially in mergers and acquisitions
Many of our communities and customers are working out the most effective way to scale. For those who have spent the last 2 years

ensuring they have tight systems and processes, the franchising space presents an opportunity to expand their brand in their market. They are looking for financiers who can see the opportunities and the ability to convince a financier that your business is worth the risk is best supported by solid financials showing good profitability and strong revenue streams as well as a growing presence in their market.
With the changes brought about in the pandemic years, ecommerce is still strong although it has slowed. For businesses considering franchising, an ecommerce presence provides additional revenue streams from location based and service businesses.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning has also been changing the landscape of business opportunities.
Employees have been seeking remote and hybrid work environments and many have considered opportunities for being their own boss. Businesses who are leading their niche through strong relationships with their community are growing in strength. Customers are choosing products and services that create impact and are sustainable and improving customer experience will also form a large part of this trend.
Businesses which can secure their supply chain are best poised to take advantage of the inability of their competitors to do the same.”
ensure they protect their business and assets and get paid.
They are thinking very carefully about who they do work for (ditching some riskier clients) and making sure they have tighter payment practices implemented, such as getting binding contracts in place and requesting deposits and frequent payments. We are kept extremely busy preparing terms and conditions for our tradies for example.”
“In the next year or two, your potential customers will become increasingly careful in how they spend their money” predicts Les Hannaway, business connection expert from Brilliant Branding.
sunny times after the Covid storm, and now as the interest rates are taking effect, business is becoming a bit cautious again.
We are happy to say there are still new franchisors coming into the market, but they want to take a slower, testing approach to rolling out their long-term plans.
I believe most business people see a bit of caution ahead as they wait and see the effects of higher interest rates on demand, and the willingness of potential franchisees to come into their operations.
Whilst we are not pessimistic, I believe the next year or two will be competitive in the franchise industry for gaining franchisees as they will have many opportunities to consider.
Long term, our views are that franchising is strong and healthy, and is still the best business model for small business, as it does reduce the risk of failure compared to going out on your own.”
So, the consensus is…
“The more specifically relevant your franchise brand and messaging can speak to meeting real or perceived needs, the greater opportunities you will have to succeed in increasing your market growth. No brand is timeless for everyone.
Remember there are always opportunities to grow and adapt in any economic climate. Specifically defining your customer avatar (and who isn’t!), to building a distinctive brand story, then clearly communicating how you are the best solution to their problem’s will be more important than ever to win and hold customers.”
The next couple of years will be tricky but associated with that will be significant opportunity provided:
• You have clarity and focus on what your business does, for whom and how it does it to give you the momentum to build your business through what is an uncertain time
• You have the flexibility to change as business conditions shift
• Your business house is tightly streamlined and in order
Helen Kay, Business Lawyer CEO of Rise Legal explains…
“Business owners are thinking more proactively (thank goodness!) about putting themselves in the best possible position to
Peter Buckingham, industry leader in geo-modelling and network planning from Spectrum Analysis has his eye on global business data and says…
“In my view we are heading for tighter times, and this seems to be reflected in a slowing of the economy, both the franchise economy and business in general. I felt 2022 was the
Certainly, this is what I have experienced through the last 3 recessions I have been through in Australia - difficult business conditions all bring immense opportunity.
If you follow me you’ll know that coming out of my 7th major economic shakeup I see the pattern repeating and echo the comments above, especially Paul Dunn’s …” those with Clarity and Focus will get Momentum .”
