Welcome
Welcome to 2021. If you're going back to work after the summer break and wishing you weren't, now might be the time to explore owning your own business. The cover story in the latest Franchise New Zealand magazine explains that a good franchise is a powerful business model, but buying one is like buying a motorbike – you need to be taught to find your balance, then coached in how to get the best out of it. Once you’re confident, it’s up to you how far and how fast you go. Get your free print copy of the magazine or download a free digital copy now.
There’s lots of helpful information on this website, too – from how to choose the right business to finding finance, and legal and accounting advice. There are also profiles of opportunities and a Directory of franchises for sale and advisors.
