Welcome
Are you ready for lift-off? Many Kiwis dream about owning their own business, but in the last year or so their dreams have been on hold. The cover story of the latest Franchise New Zealand magazine looks at whether it’s time to stop waiting and start doing. Of course, going into business is a big decision, so we also talk about getting the right funding, what can go wrong and how to avoid it, suggest questions to ask about support, take a look at eco-friendly franchises and learn why it’s essential you take professional advice. 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.
