Welcome
Franchising covers a huge range of business opportunities. On this website, you’ll find profiles of businesses offering fork lift training, flat pack assembly, home renovation and laundromats; childcare, exercise classes, relief teacher supply and computer education. Franchisees restore car paintwork, change landscapes, protect glass, clean homes and offices, and manage boat maintenance.
Food franchises and coffee franchises are always popular, so we feature family restaurants, full-service cafés, fast casual diners and trendy hang-outs, as well as lots of advice.
