Because, contrary to a regular business that needs building from scratch, in a franchise business, the franchisor provides a developed way of doing business, ongoing guidance, systems and assistance in return for periodic payment of royalties.

Key advantages of buying a franchise:

• It offers the independence of small business ownership supported by the benefits of belonging to a wider business network.
• You don't need specialised business experience to run a franchise. We provide the training you need to operate our business model.
• Franchises have a higher rate of success than start-up businesses.
• You may find it easier to secure finance for a franchise. It will cost less to buy a franchise than start your own business of the same type.
• We offer you an established reputation and image, proven management and work practices, access to national advertising and ongoing support.
