How can we help?

Franchise System Growth - We can help brands to rapidly grow their franchise network.

We have proven experience in coaching and mentoring franchisees in all aspects of franchised business.

We combine our experience from working with top New Zealand franchise brands and recruiting 100s of franchisees, with industry leading profiling and recruitment tools to match franchisees to brands.

Why should you seek advice?

The benefits of working with Iridium Partners include:

  • A reduced fixed cost for Franchisors while retaining control of their recruitment and development processes.
  • Introduces a variable cost structure based on success.
  • Provides skills and experience that would otherwise be either under-utilised or far more expensive.
  • An external pair of eyes focuses the process on recruitment versus selling.  Even a recruitment focused franchisor will benefit from an objective third-party view whose primary concern is on the best match of people to brand versus achieving sales budgets or targets.
  • Critically, we allow a franchisor to maintain attention on their core business/existing franchise business.
  • External resources have a broader reach and provide opportunities not accessible by a single brand or company.
  • Access to a diverse skillset.  

Who do we work with?

We work directly with a number of leading New Zealand and international franchise brands across a range of sectors and investment levels.  We also work with potential franchisees looking for the right opportunity for them.
