Run a Franchise

Franchising
 
BiG can provide a range of support to help you set up a franchised* business.
 
As a Franchisee, you can benefit from assistance with training, merchandising, marketing and management.  The brand and logo may also be well established and known to customers - making your chance of success higher.
 
Franchising offers as many options as setting up on your own and is available for many types of businesses.
 
Why choose to become a Franchisee? 
 
Becoming a franchisee gives you the freedom of being an independent businessperson. It allows you to build security for yourself by owning your own business with reduced risk.
 
The benefits…
 
  • Potentially less risk than setting up a standard alone business
  • Banks favour franchising over setting up stand alone new businesses
  • Banks will often lend more money to a prospective franchisee
  • You can tap into an already established market place – the product or service could have been bought or used successfully elsewhere
  • Brand already in place
 
If you are interested in running a franchise BiG can help you with:
 
  • Business planning assistance
  • Financial advice
  • Assessing the viability of franchising opportunities
  • Making contact with franchisors

*Franchising involves purchasing a business agreement with the Franchisor (the owner of a business) that gives you the right to market and distribute the Franchisor’s goods or services, and use the business name for an agreed time period.
