The
Franchise Council of Australia
Franchising in Australia represents a dynamic small business sector contributing
some 14% of the national GDP of Australia. It comprises enterprising entrepreneurs
as franchisors and franchisees employing 600,000 Australian's. By
joining this FCA site you are perhaps interested in franchising and looking for
information that can lead you to a successful career within the sector. If you
take the time you will learn much from this site and begin to understand the unique
relationships that franchising develops amongst those involved in the sector.
As with any business
there are risks involved; but, they are reduced if you research effectively and
this site can provide answers to the many questions you may have. The site provides
practical information, addresses frequently asked questions, provides a directory
of member franchisors and service providers such as consultants, lawyers and accountants.
The site also lists franchise events scheduled around the nation and overviews
our extensive franchise education programs. The
Franchise Council of Australia represents over 600 franchise companies and the
professionals who support franchising as a way of doing business. Our Board of
Directors represent all States of Australia and comprises some of the leading
franchise system CEOs. These Directors are dedicated to ensuring the franchise
sector is well represented, is providing quality education, has exclusive membership
benefits and allows network opportunities. Buying
a franchise is a major decision. The commitment in capital and borrowings can
be significant. A new entry into the sector needs to consider the process very
carefully. Franchising is not a guarantee for success, rather it is an opportunity
to establish a healthy rewarding business with the support of a network focused
on success. The old adage is true in franchising where the sum of the whole is
greater than the individual. Franchising
in Australia is well regulated, well educated and highly developed to enable those
entering the sector to do so with confidence. Making decisions about the future
can be very difficult. This is why the FCA recommends our members as a source
to provide information. Whilst research should not be exclusive from our members
we believe a decision about franchising should not be made without reference to
a member. Call
