Business Franchise Australia and New Zealand

Welcome to our January/February issue of Business Franchise Australia and New Zealand magazine and the first issue for 2021!

-

There’s no denying 2020 was extremely tough for many franchisor­s and franchisee­s, so we sincerely hope the year ahead brings growth and prosperity to you all.

For our cover story this issue we are very pleased to introduce Nurse Next Door who, despite the pandemic, were able to achieve phenomenal growth. As a relative newcomer to the Australian home care services market, this Canadian brand attributes success to their core purpose of Making Lives Better. Turn to page 12 to read how Nurse Next Door’s vision is attracting a legion of dedicated franchisee­s across Australia.

Our cute and colourful special feature this issue is all about child-friendly franchises. After suffering through Covid restrictio­ns, child-care centres, play-and activity- based franchises and children’s retail outlets around the country had to quickly adapt or shut up shop. We’re happy to report many have bounced back and are doing better than ever. Turn to page 39 for more on Children’s Products and Services Franchises.

We also have all your usual franchisin­g advice and insights from the experts. Andrew Watson from the ATO provides some essential tips on setting your business up for a successful 2021 (p16); business psychologi­st Greg Nathan offers a handy do’s and don’ts checklist when investigat­ing a franchise (p22); and Erin Chancellor of Xero Australia has advice on building and maintainin­g a thriving online community (p50).

Plus, we have many more expert advice articles, loads of franchisin­g news and profiles, and our A-Z franchise listing directory with all of the best franchise opportunit­ies available right now.

Enjoy the read!
