f you have always wanted to be your own boss and have been thinking about giving the nine to five routine the boot, then franchising could be your stepping stone to achieving that lifelong dream. Starting your own franchise business can be quite daunting and depending on the type of franchise, it can be one of the largest investments that you will ever make in your life. With a multitude of opportunities to choose from, it’s important to research them carefully and figure out if you’re the right fit for your chosen franchise. Whether you’re looking to work from home or running your own retail outlet or food and beverage kiosk, there is something to suit everyone. Ask yourself, which business model suits me? Do I have the necessary self-motivation to be a business owner? Do I have a strong desire to succeed? Am I prepared to be actively involved in my business? At the end of the day, it all starts with you. Financial independence, being your own boss, flexible working hours or simply following your passion – these are all great reasons to follow your dream. So why not start here? A bi-annual supplement to Franchising magazine, The Profiler provides an overview of different business systems of some of the industry’s established franchises and service providers. Check out the business models and services on offer, and see if there is one that’s suits your needs. Now is the time… Good luck! Editorial team

Snap-on Tools

Snap-on Tools – one stop shop for the world’s best tools and equipment Welcome to your next business opportunity

aking the step into self-employment can be daunting, but it holds the promise of rich rewards for those willing to work hard. It’s for this reason Brad Watts, 42, chose to buy a Snap-on Tools franchise at the tender age of 25. Fast forward 17 years and he is one of the network’s top franchisees, with four trucks on the road, a team of five employees and an ever expanding customer base in Queensland’s mining and resources sector. A diesel fitter by trade, Brad was familiar with Snap-on Tools, and when it came time to seriously consider selfemployment, it was one of his first options. Despite having no previous experience managing a business, Brad jumped at the opportunity to service his area in Central Queensland. “A Snap-on Tools franchise was perfect for me because I knew the tools and knew it would give me the challenge I craved in my career. I’d never been self-employed, but Snapon offered a comprehensive training program that covered all the aspects of managing your business, so it wasn’t daunting,” says Brad. “Once the territory in my local area became available,

: January 2013

It’s their passion and support that has allowed me to build a really successful business

I decided to give Snap-on a call and discuss my options. They were upfront about everything I needed to do and proactive in getting my application processed.” After a brief assessment period, Brad was offered a franchise and commenced his training program with a franchise development manager who accompanied him for four full weeks, helping him to get to know his territory, customers and Snap-on management systems. He also attended training at the Snap-on Tools North American headquarters in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

“Those first few weeks of training set me on the road to success. Having someone on the road with me allowed me to get to know everything about the business in a secure and supportive environment. I was taken through a daily routine, selling techniques, bookwork and ordering and stock management systems so that by the time I went out on my own I knew exactly how everything worked,” says Brad. Now Brad’s business has four Snap-on trucks on the road, each with a full-time driver. His customers include automotive workshops, car dealerships, panel beaters,

motorcycle workshops and mining companies and he has won several awards in the Snap-on network. “The Snap-on system and their way of doing business is what attracted me in the first place, but it’s their passion and support that has allowed me to build a really successful business.”

Cafe2U

Cafe2U – a mobile coffee franchise that’s family friendly Love your work and choose your lifestyle

aking the change to becoming a business owner is often motivated by a desire for a better, more flexible lifestyle. Cafe2U offers an opportunity for people to grow a business that is suited to their personality and their choice of working hours. Cafe2U franchise partner, Lisa Minett, operates a Cafe2U mobile espresso van in Chester Hill, New South Wales. She shares her story and says that the Cafe2U opportunity has allowed her to spend much more time with her children. What were you doing before Cafe2U? I was working for a manufacturing company for 13 years and I started to question my next steps. Our work had a Cafe2U van call on us and I loved drinking the coffee every day. I wound up buying an existing business from the lady who served me at my netball games. It’s been just over a year now and the business is doing everything I set out to do. The best thing is that I was earning an income from the very first day. Who makes a good Cafe2U franchisee? What attracted you to the system? You should be outgoing. You need to make sure that the best part of the customers’ day is the moment the Cafe2U van arrives. They love it because it’s a break in their day — even if it’s just five minutes. I even did a wedding reception in a park last November. What sets Cafe2U apart? I think it’s the support. When I had my first training day, the managing director came in and spoke about what Cafe2U

Coffee delivered to your workplace

would give us to help us succeed. That really gives you confidence that they’re not going to let you fail. The franchise development manager stays in touch, and if I ever need them to come out and spend time with me to help me be more efficient, they will. What does franchise ownership allow you to do that you couldn’t before? The major thing is getting to spend more time with the kids. Since they were a couple of months old, I’ve been working. It means a little more work for me in the afternoon with homework and cooking dinner, but you’re getting to spend time with them.

Would you recommend the Cafe2U franchise? Why? Yes. I think it is successful. You get as much work as you want. It’s a good lifestyle. I get to start my own day with an excellent coffee! It’s flexible. If I needed to or wanted to work longer, I could.

FC Business Solutions

FC Business Solutions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; your one stop shop in franchising Working in franchising for the large majority of our professional lives, it became increasingly obvious to us that there was a service offering missing in the sector

n the life of every franchise business, whether a start-up or an established brand, there will be a need to utilise a resource or skill set that cannot be found within your own four walls. It is vital for the success of your business that you receive the right support from professionals who are driven by the success of your growth and maturity. It is difficult to look past FC Business Solutions, named the Franchise Council of Australia Supplier of the Year for 2012. A BUSINESS VISION As former colleagues in a national franchise chain, FC Business Solutions Directors Corina Vucic and Andrew Kelly shared a vision and saw an opportunity to build a new business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Together, we saw the desperate need for franchise businesses to have the ability to â&#x20AC;&#x153;tap intoâ&#x20AC;? a professional and experienced talent pool that could help them with any area of their business,â&#x20AC;? says Corina. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working in franchising for the large majority of our professional lives, it became increasingly obvious to us that there was a service offering missing in the sector. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some franchise organisations build their business around operations, others around marketing and some opt to focus on systems and processes. Very few have internal resources to manage all of these areas.â&#x20AC;? For FC Business Solutions, it is important to provide a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;One Stop Shopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for franchisors. A talent pool that they could call upon to fill any void, long or short term, to assist with the development of their business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it is the time-consuming task of formulating operations manuals and

induction programs, or developing and executing marketing programs, recruiting and training the right people, mentoring the executive team, or even strategising to take the business to the next level of its journey, there was a need for an organisation that could offer all of these skills,â&#x20AC;? explains Corina.

Top Snap

Top Snap – turning passion into profit Work from home and set your own hours

or many people, earning a successful living from something they’re passionate about may seem like a distant dream. But not so for Top Snap’s franchisees. As a leading national property photography franchise, not only do Top Snap franchisees run businesses combining their passions for photography and property, they work from home and set their own hours, while spending their days photographing varied properties and meeting lots of different people. This is not a 9 to 5 desk job by any measure! As Victorian franchisee John Woolley (pictured) puts it, “Working from home and seeing more of my family gives me great work/life balance, and going to work and meeting loads of great people is fun and different every day. Top Snap’s given me the career change and lifestyle I was looking for – I love it!” After starting life as an independent photography company, Top Snap began franchising in 2008. Since then it has emerged as a leader in its field, with 47 territories across Australia and NZ, and UK expansion plans underway. Thanks to this rapid growth, the business was recognised as one of Australia’s top 50 fastest growing companies in the 2012 and 2011 SmartCompany awards. Top Snap’s general manager, Helen Clarke, attributes its success to numerous factors, not least that it operates a sustainable and successful franchise model, “Where franchisees are our number one priority,” she says. “As a ‘Top Snapper’ you’ll receive extensive hands-on training with a suc-

cessful property photographer who’ll teach you everything you need to know including how to promote your services. We’ll help launch your business, providing you with copious marketing materials that can be personalised for your territory. You’ll also get intensive support via one-on-one business and photography coaching sessions, access to our franchisee helpline, and we’ll assign you a franchisee mentor to offer extra support in your early stages. “You’ll use our custom-built software to manage your client database, invoicing, marketing, and financial reports, while your clients can access images and assemble a free property slideshow. “Because we’re committed to maximising your investment, not only do we manage all post-production, meaning you

can focus on business building rather than retouching, we also provide additional income streams via our sought-after property marketing tools including floor plans, 3D artist impressions, virtual tours, copywriting and virtual furniture. “Crucially, we work for a growing industry with high demand for our products, as evidenced by our recent survey of 600 real estate agents, where 99 percent cited photography as the most essential element of successful property marketing,” Clarke says.

Sign-A-Rama

SIGN-A-RAMA – the dominant name in signage solutions The great thing about our franchise is that every business needs and uses our product every day

ign-A-Rama, Australia’s leading sign franchise business, has seen extraordinary growth in less than 15 years, and has established itself as Australia’s premier signage and branding company. THE SIGNAGE INDUSTRY – CONSISTENT GROWTH “The great thing about our franchise is that every business needs and uses our product every day,” says Sign-A-Rama group national director Evan Foster. “Businesses know that signage and branding is one of the most cost-effective ways to advertise and so our products are always in demand.”

The world’s largest signage and graphics franchise

MONDAY TO FRIDAY LIFESTYLE One of the many reasons for the sharp growth of the brand in Australia and globally is the lifestyle-friendly nature of the business. As a B2B franchise, its stores are open Monday to Friday during business hours. Each store has a low staffing requirement [three minimum] and its strong supplier network means franchisees order stock as they get an order, so inventory is minimal. Because every order is custom-made, there are high margins, which provides perfect conditions for profitability.

or More Staff at the National Franchise Convention in Canberra. Franchisees like Mason have allowed the brand to grow and push into new markets and expand the reach of the Sign-A-Rama name. Having seen the growth first hand, Foster says that awareness for the brand has increased significantly in the past few years. “We’ve become more of a household name certainly in the past five to six years,” says Foster. “As a franchise company we like to think we’ve been pretty good at identifying industries where no recognised brand name exists, and do a good job of building a brand in that space.”

FRANCHISEE OF THE YEAR In a sign of the growth of the brand and its reputation within the franchising industry, in October 2012 Joondalup, WA franchisee Craig Mason took out the coveted Franchisee of the Year – 2

HISTORY Neither Ray Titus nor Jim Tatem could envisage what lay ahead when they opened the very first Sign-A-Rama store in Farmingdale, NY in 1986. As early 20-somethings, they built the company from scratch and still operate as CEO and brand president, respectively. Little more than 25 years later, Sign-A-Rama has expanded to more than 850 locations worldwide in more than 50 countries. Launched to the Australian market in 1998, Sign-A-Rama has grown to 90 locations across Australia, and will hit 100 outlets in 2013.

Gloria Jean’s Coffees

Gloria Jean’s Coffees – a winning blend Franchise partnerships are brewing up a story of success

n October 2006, John Giovas and sister Chris, made the decision to trade in the daily grind of their corporate professions to embark on a new venture. The pair were aware of the challenges when starting up a business, so found a franchise an appealing option. Five years later, John and Chris are now brewing up a story of success, as the owners of a thriving Gloria Jean’s Coffees franchise in Gymea, New South Wales and winning awards along the way. In the first three years John and Chris achieved their five-year plan, exceeding their initial hopes for the business. They attribute much of their success to the close partnership forged with Gloria Jean’s Coffees’ support office. When asked about his success, John Giovas says, “a franchise provided us with a sound investment; presenting fewer risks and a greater chance of success. We paid meticulous attention to detail to ensure we entered both a profitable and sustainable business”. Having opened over 1,000 coffee houses worldwide with over 400 of these across Australia, Gloria Jean’s Coffees is a proven and successful franchise system which has been recognised as one of the world’s best. With a vision to be the most loved and respected coffee company in the world, Gloria Jean’s Coffees focuses on recruiting and rewarding franchise partners such as John and Chris. When talking about the partnership, Chris Giovas adds, “choosing the right franchise is absolutely essential. My advice to others would be to look for a strong brand such as Gloria Jean’s Coffees, which can also offer ongoing

support – this made our lives so much easier and we felt reassured every step of the way”. The siblings recently gained recognition for their achievements at the bi-annual Gloria Jean’s Coffees International Glory Awards attended by more than 400 Gloria Jean’s Coffees franchise partners, master franchise partners and store managers from around the world. The pair received the coveted International Franchise Partner and Store Manager Award which recognises the standard of excellence in store operations, including sales results, customer connection and store presentation. John and Chris qualified for the award after winning the Gloria Jean’s Coffees Australian Franchise Partner of the Year Award last year. In the same year, the pair were runners-up in the Franchise

Council Business of the Year Award. On their award success Gloria Jean’s Coffees executive chairman, Nabi Saleh says, “John and Chris proved to be the best of the best in the Gloria Jean’s Coffees family of more than one thousand coffee houses opened worldwide across 39 markets. Their dedication and passion for the brand, their team and their guests make them standout candidates to win this award.”

omino’s Pizza Enterprises Limited (Domino’s) is the largest quick service pizza franchise in Australia with more network stores and network sales than any competitor. It is also the largest master franchise for the Domino’s Pizza brand in the world outside of the United States. GLOBAL BUSINESS Today the company has more than 900 stores across Australia, New Zealand, France, Belgium and the Netherlands employing approximately 16,500 people who make more than 60 million pizzas a year.

The Domino’s leadership team, headed by CEO Don Meij, leads an entrepreneurial company with an extremely focused vision – it aims to be number one in pizza and number one in people. The company’s mission statement reflects the ambition in a unique way – ‘sell more pizza, have more fun’. Domino’s franchise development manager Rian Bell says that he really does believe working with Domino’s should be incredibly enjoyable. “We strive for low staff turnover and love that we inspire fierce loyalty amongst our team members,” Rian says. “It’s loyalty which comes from people who share our dedication to excellence and fun.”

This support includes site selection, lease negotiation, store fit out, comprehensive pre-opening training, coordination of suppliers, group purchasing power, store appraisals, ongoing training and support, and marketing promotions. “Domino’s offers franchisees professional and comprehensive training covering every aspect of store operations, infrastructure and marketing support as well as ongoing training and support and a dedicated store territory – and then there’s the security of a globally recognised and successful brand,” Rian explains. BUILD YOUR FUTURE “Many current Domino’s franchisees have found the job so rewarding they now own several Domino’s stores.” Domino’s strong growth plan across Australia and New Zealand means it is always on the lookout for passionate and motivated people to become franchisees.

e live exceedingly busy lives and no one can vouch for that more than small business owners, particularly those who run franchised business. Between handling the finances, placing orders, managing staff and dealing with the day to day tasks associated with getting the business up and running, finding suitable and quality business insurance becomes a hassle. National Franchise Insurance Brokers understands the pressures of these franchisees and has made it easier to purchase business insurance online. In just four clicks, the franchisee can choose their cover, purchase their insurance and log off all in under 10 minutes.

JUST FOUR CLICKS Based around the brand’s website MYNFIB.com.au this highly simplified online insurance platform means that any franchised business can be insured in just four clicks of a computer mouse. Only four pieces of basic information are required in order for NFIB to arrange cover for a franchised business: • The value of the franchised business • The gross profit of the franchised business • The level of public liability required by the franchised business • Whether or not machinery breakdown is required by the franchised business

business and hours of searching for suitable insurance cover becomes a thing of the past as NFIB offers the most comprehensive, low-cost cover for franchisees. “Like anyone who’s running a smallto medium-size business, franchisees have better things to do than spend a day filling out forms and making phone calls and sending faxes,” says NFIB executive director, Darryl Morris “We’ve boiled the insurance process right down so that now it’s just a simple matter of sitting down, visiting our website and the entire process can be completed in a couple of minutes at the most.”

MAKING IT SIMPLE Simplifying this usually tedious and strenuous process ensures the franchisee can get right back to managing their

Many of the yoghurt flavours are made with ‘no sugar added’ and all are 98 percent fat free ensuring the healthy eating habits of Australians are catered for. Fruizberry can create the perfect flavour for even the most discerning customer. WHO IS BEHIND FRUIZBERRY? Fruizberry was founded by Matt Beesley and Michael Barnes who together have more than 30 years business management experience. Matt has extensive experience in retail franchising from concept to roll out and was the founder of a multisite retail chain across England and the Middle East.

complete turnkey investment. This includes training, store fit out, equipment and franchisee fee. Ongoing training and support is also paramount and each store in the network is assigned a dedicated franchise development manager to assist with growing each franchisee’s business. Fruizberry wants its franchisees to go into business for themselves, not by themselves. “Fruizberry is a young, yet growing business where we value people who have fresh, new ideas and an entrepreneurial spirit to continually improve our brand,” says Matt Beesley. “We are excited with our progress, not only in creating a unique and amazing frozen yoghurt experience for our customers but also the attractive business opportunity for our franchisees.”

The future is certainly looking bright with Fruizberry now focusing on providing more Australians with the best tasting frozen yoghurt in the country. “The plan is for additional locations in South Australia coupled with an expansion into the eastern states,” says Michael Barnes. “We have developed our procedures and systems, support programs and promotional campaigns to ensure each franchisee has the best possible opportunity for success.” Fruizberry is predicting strong performance over the fiscal year as the concept and brand continues to grow and develop. This is an opportune time for new franchisees to come on-board and be a part of a healthy and growing business.

Outback Jacks

Outback Jacks Bar and Grill – relaxed casual dining Join the fastest growing steakhouse chain

he story of Outback Jacks Bar and Grill is the outcome of years of experience and hard work within the industry, extensive market research and a mission to fill a niche in the market. The Outback Jacks brand or OBJs as it has become affectionately known, is an exciting chain of restaurants offering relaxed casual dining with full bar facilities and one of the largest selections of steaks in the country. REGIONAL MASTERS Outback Jacks is one of the fastest growing steakhouse franchises in Australia. One of the key aspects to this unprecedented growth has been the implementation of a regional master franchise system. The benefits of the master franchise system are numerous: you have the benefit of one strong vision and direction being led by the national franchisor as well as the benefit of franchisees at store level developing close working relationships and receiving close level support from the master franchisees who have a vested interest in the success of each franchise business. “Each master franchisee measures their success by the success of the franchise stores in their region. This has allowed Outback Jacks to expand into new areas while maintaining the level of support to franchisees that has made our business so successful over the past seven years,” says Colby Smith, general manager of operations for the group. “Our store level franchisees often comment on how our model offers them personalised service and strong support systems.”

: January 2013

GREAT LOCATIONS Evidence of the success of this system is shown in the current selection of new sites available within Outback Jacks – there are currently sites available in NSW, ACT, Qld, WA and the NT. Strong Growth has always been a key factor in the success of Outback Jacks; in the last 12 months six new sites have opened for business with a seventh slated to open in early 2013. Buying power is another key factor in the success of this flourishing concept. Outback Jacks has secured national supply contracts with some of the largest supply partners in the country. This allows franchisees to focus on the day to day operations of

their stores, confident that they are purchasing their stock at the best possible quality and price. If you are looking for a franchise that offers long term security, personal support systems and national buying power that can ensure the best possible outcomes for its franchisees, then the steakhouse chain Outback Jacks may be for you.

Worldwide Online Printing

Worldwide Online Printing – designing your future The road to a successful print franchise

ometimes, opportunities come your way in the most unexpected way and that is certainly true for Karen and Graham Norris, franchisees of Worldwide Online Printing at Taren Point. Graham had been running his own design business for about 12 months and with his wife Karen was thinking of ways to grow the operation. They had been regular customers of Worldwide Online Printing at Sutherland when they found out that the business was for sale. “I had always been happy with the quality of the printing,” says Graham. “Once we looked into the franchise company and business model, we thought it sounded right for us. The Worldwide business model allowed us to be a customer-focused design and print business and I could grow my business to the next level.” BUSINESS POTENTIAL While Graham had been a graphic designer for 15 years and had been running his own small design business, he had limited experience in terms of running a print franchise. Once the decision to buy the centre was made, Karen and Graham decided to move the centre from Sutherland to Taren Point. “We felt that Taren Point had greater business potential as it seemed to have more small businesses in the area,” explains Karen. Karen joined Graham in the business and with her experience in sales and administration they had all bases covered.

: January 2013

“The other great aspect of owning and running a Worldwide centre is the support and training offered by the franchisor,” says Karen. “The training provided by Worldwide was very thorough. There was more than enough support from the franchisor for us to run the business. It was very handy to have sales experience, but mostly a bit of energy and enthusiasm is what we attribute to our success.” Karen and Graham are the first to admit that it has been hard work and in the beginning there was not much time off. They are also more than willing to admit that the experience has been very rewarding. It has taken three and a half years but they are now in a position to reap the rewards of their hard work. Once Karen

and Graham had their first child, work life balance also became important. “I have been working from home and only going into the office two days a week,” Karen explains. “There is also the peace of mind knowing that our franchisor is constantly looking to improve the franchise. It helps to keep us a strong competitor in our industry,” says Graham.

Silver Chef

Silver Chef – filling the finance gap in the franchise market Freedom. Flexibility. Options

ilver Chef’s success in the franchise space is a direct result of listening to customers’ needs and providing them with tailored funding solutions. Research into the sector over the past 12 months has resulted in the ASXlisted equipment financier introducing a new product to the hospitality franchise market – Silver Chef Easy Own. Silver Chef national franchise manager, James Scurr, says “Franchisees often want longer agreements because they are part of a larger structure with a clearer idea of what products they require, compared with non-franchised customers. We have developed a finance product that better suits franchisee’s store lease terms. “This new rental product gives customers greater flexibility. After 12 months they can extend their contract to 36 months with a 30 percent reduction in weekly payments and the option to own the product after the contract expires. “We have had an exceptional response to the product so far and with the current growth in the franchise sector we expect the take up will be very strong this financial year,” says Scurr. FRANCHISE ACCREDITATION Silver Chef’s unique Franchise Accreditation program, which was launched last year, continues to attract quality franchisees. Accredited franchise systems can offer current and prospective franchisees pre-approval for funding with Silver Chef. Under the program, a franchisor needs five stores, a copy of the disclosure document and financial information on store performance.

: January 2013

A pre-approved amount of finance is determined on these financial results. Once approved, every franchisee under the franchisor umbrella has access to the agreed amount of funding. “Franchisor accreditation also goes a long way to boosting franchise recruitment. It’s often the case that people aspire to own a franchise but find it difficult to fund their venture,” explains Scurr. “The ease of accessing funding is a great drawcard, particularly for new business owners with limited capital and who need to preserve as much working capital as they can in the first year of operation. “People often underestimate just how much working capital is required to keep a business afloat in the first year. Budgetary blowouts are the biggest contributor to business failure in those critical first 12 months, a situation

that is exacerbated if valuable working capital is tied up in depreciating assets such as equipment.” Proof of Silver Chef’s success in the franchise sector came at the end of the 2011/12 financial year with the company reporting it had provided funding to more than 100 different franchise brands across Australia. The hospitality division has transferred its winning formula to its GoGetta division which provides equipment funding to businesses outside of the hospitality sector.

wC Private Clients is a national team of 50 partners and more than 600 staff who are committed to working with private businesses, family businesses, entrepreneurs and high net wealth individuals. We believe family businesses make a significant contribution to our economy, and see our role as helping owners maximise opportunities today that will enable them to flourish in the future. Our services include personal and business taxation, assurance, personal estate planning and wealth management, succession planning, mentoring of business owners, deals, growth strategy, operational improvement and structure as well as assistance with buying and selling businesses. Throughout the year we produce a series of thought leadership publications that delve into the issues facing aspects of the market and provide valuable benchmarking information, most recently the Franchise Sector Indicator and PwC Private Clients Family Business Survey. FRANCHISE SECTOR INDICATOR This year’s survey was performed during winter 2012 and focuses on performance of franchise systems for the 2012 financial year and their growth aspirations for the short to medium term. The 2012 survey demonstrates another admirable year of growth for the franchising sector. The results indicate that the sector as a whole has recorded double digit growth in both revenue and profits in what has been a challenging year. Franchisors continue to predict

: January 2013

strong growth, but are not as confident as they have been in previous years. The survey results are supported by case studies featuring strong performing franchise systems: 7-Eleven, Quest Serviced Apartments and The Cupcake Bakery. To download a full copy of the report or for further information, please visit the PwC website. FAMILY BUSINESS SURVEY The PwC Private Clients Family Business Survey was created to provide insights into the market both here in Australia and on a global scale. Close to 2000 family businesses from around the world participated in the survey, which focuses on key areas including performance, internationalisation, and the unique qualities that set family businesses apart from listed or public companies.

The survey found that family business’ sales have grown less in Australia than the global average over the past financial year, but businesses are bullish about future growth. Fifty six percent of family businesses have grown in the past financial year – compared to 65 percent globally – and 16 percent are aiming to grow quickly and aggressively over the next five years. For the full results, including both the Australia and global reports, please visit our website or download the PwC Private Clients App from the Apple App store, search PwC Private Clients.

Just Cuts

Just Cuts – a better business opportunity Franchisees don’t have to work in the business, just manage it and market it. Salon chain founder Denis McFadden shares the journey

ust Cuts began in 1983 and became a franchise business in 1990. Little did I know it would end up being the biggest hairdressing franchise group in the southern hemisphere. I grew the business organically and developed four Just Cuts salons. The salons filled a gap in the market between the high end hairdresser and the barber shop. People were busy and time poor. I had four Just Cuts salons in Sydney and one day one of our hairdressers, Leanne, wanted to open her own salon using my systems. Leanne was 21 years old and on the day she was to open our first franchise, she had a baby. I realised very quickly you didn’t need to be there nor to be a hairdresser to run a Just Cuts salon. Today we do over 66,000 haircuts per week and most of our franchisees are not hairdressers but investors. Leanne, 21 years later, is still in the system. FRANCHISING TODAY Now we are a lot more sophisticated and have embraced technology and new innovations to enable our franchisees to grow and evolve to become multi-unit owners. We have 175 salons in Australia and New Zealand and one in India, and our average franchisee owns 2.4 salons. There are a lot of copycats in the market, but it only makes us more resolved to do it better. It somehow gets easier as you surround yourself with smart people. It’s ok to look back but we are always looking to make it a better business opportunity for our owners. Franchisees don’t have to work in the business, just manage it and market it.

: January 2013

Our entry level is between $100,000 to $250,000 with just a flat rate fee so we are very competitive and appealing. We have developed a new, cost effective kiosk modular concept ideal for a first time franchisee or for existing owners to have secondary satellite sites in a shopping centre. TECHNOLOGY We have re-launched dynamic training and support systems. Technology is always evolving for us with a number of new initiatives to give us the wow factor: we have embraced a new free and fun phone App, outsourced our IT, developed on-line learning and we measure and drive a web, Facebook and Twitter presence.

We have created client feedback and customer service ‘WOW Factor’ training for stylists and their teams and we reward our salon teams and clients with giveaways and prizes using technology. More than 66,000 people choose Just Cuts every week and our 80 franchisees employ over 1500 hairdressers. The beauty of franchising is that just like hair you never stop growing.

Kwik Kopy

Kwik Kopy – award winning print and design Consistent performer and strong franchise support

he best way to succeed in a franchise is with a franchisor who offers a strong franchise model and great support. Ask Steve Strangward, owner of Kwik Kopy Richmond since 2004 and winner of the Kwik Kopy 2012 Franchise of the Year award. “Receiving strong support from my franchisor has been so important to my success. I am convinced that prospective franchisees should look closely at a franchisor’s support system before committing to any of the thousands of different franchises for sale,” he says. Kwik Kopy is an award-winning provider of graphic design, printing and marketing services with more than 100 B2B franchises operating throughout Australia. What’s more, you don’t require any previous experience in printing or design to become a franchisee in the network. As a Kwik Kopy franchisee, you’re talking with business clients who value professionalism and quality as much as economy and who look for long-term business partners. The B2B business model, which includes a strong franchise support system, was just what Steve and his wife Kate were looking for when they were deciding where to invest. The franchise has a proven franchise track record, strong brand recognition and a system that gives franchises a real lift into a successful business. Once up and running, franchisees are not on their own. “Being part of the Kwik Kopy system means we benefit from the strength and support of a really strong national franchise community,” says Steve.

: January 2013

“Kwik Kopy’s focus on franchisee support has helped make it one of the best franchises in Australia.” WHAT TO ASK THE FRANCHISOR Steve recommends asking the following questions of franchisors regarding franchisee support, before buying into a franchise: • Who will be my personal area sales manager and how many hours on-site support can I expect to receive a month? • What specific expertise/knowledge does the franchisor have about: my territory, my client base, my sales, my IT systems (to support me technically and to assist me in operating my business), human resources (to guide my staff selection), and marketing (to drive network sales activity)? • What business/financial planning support can the franchisor provide for my business – is the risk shared? Is their success linked to mine? Is the franchisor really concerned about my success?

The best companies offering franchises for sale will be able to provide straightforward, affirmative answers to these questions. Kwik Kopy has proved itself to be a consistent performer and continually ranked in the Top 10 list of franchises in Australia in surveys conducted by topfranchise.com.au, an independent consumer franchise service. Kwik Kopy offers its franchisees sound business and financial analysis and advice, extensive performance benchmarking and substantial marketing to build brand awareness.

Telechoice

TeleChoice – owned and run like a family The largest independent mobile phone retailer in Australia

ith over 17 years of stability and measured growth, TeleChoice is owned and run like a

family business. The mobile phone market has changed so much over the last 15 years. Back then, consumers wanted a mobile phone just “to keep up with the Jones’s”. And it was not so long ago that consumers wanted a phone with more functionality, like a camera and perhaps some email access. Now the market is driven by smartphone technology and content. Australians are the biggest users of smartphones (per head of population) in the world. Australians want access to social media such as Facebook and Twitter; access to music, news, internet, online apps and online shopping are minimum requirements in a mobile phone today. It is a total communication package that includes data, and this can be very confusing for consumers. POINT OF DIFFERENCE This is where the TeleChoice brand is different. While the majority of telecommunications retailers are owned and operated by the carriers like Vodafone and Optus, there’s a tendency to concentrate on maximising the dataflow on each plan to maximise the revenue for the carrier. However, TeleChoice excels in deciphering the techno babble for the average consumer with no conflict of interest. For example, a customer paying a $79 plan may only need to be on a $59 plan, if their telephone usage, internet usage and SMSs are structured correctly with the carrier.

: January 2013

The dynamic nature of the TeleChoice business means that keeping up to date with the technology is critical to the franchisees’ success. The company stays ahead of the competition by ensuring that the franchisees are well trained on all new product releases and the product knowledge is disseminated to all staff. Staff are also trained to un-complicate the technical details of the product and the complex nature of the contracts. This means that the average TeleChoice customer will be better served by getting the best telecommunications package at the best price. HANDS ON TRAINING Before a franchisee starts with TeleChoice, participation in an extensive, hands-on training program is compulsory. For ongoing support, TeleChoice conducts regular

meetings with franchisees to keep them abreast of what’s new and all the changes to the pricing structures and packages. TeleChoice also has learning management software that is used by all franchisees and their employees to keep up-to-date with the changes that may occur in between the regular franchisee meetings. In comparison to the large telco carriers, TeleChoice is more nimble, can make decisions more quickly and has a high care factor for employees and franchisees. They’re not just a number and that family feel is communicated to customers.
