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.
