WHAT IS FRANCHISING

ALL ABOUT?

  1. Franchising is a powerful way to step into business ownership with confidence.

  2. Instead of starting from zero, you’re investing in a proven system that already works.

  3. As a franchisee, you gain access to an established brand, tested business processes, and ongoing support—from training and marketing to day-to-day operational guidance.

  4. One of the biggest advantages is reduced risk. Many new businesses fail because they lack structure or market recognition, but franchising gives you both from day one. You benefit from a trusted name, loyal customers, and systems that have been refined over time. This allows you to focus on growing your business rather than figuring everything out on your own.

For anyone looking to take control of their future, franchising offers a compelling path—combining independence, support, and the potential for long-term success.

We’re with you for the long haul.

Executing

Training for all new franchisees will take place in one of our Auckland locations and will take 4-6 weeks depending on your experience.

The process of building a new store will happen simultaneously and will take anywhere from 12-24 weeks depending on the current fit-out, council requirements, location and other factors.

  • franchise investor vs owner operated?

  • A franchise investor and an owner-operator differ mainly in their level of involvement in the day-to-day business.

  • A franchise investor typically provides the capital to start or acquire the franchise but takes a more hands-off approach. They may own multiple locations and focus on financial performance, growth, and strategy, often hiring managers to run daily operations.

  • An owner-operator, on the other hand, is directly involved in running the business day to day. They manage staff, oversee customer experience, and handle operational decisions personally. Their success is closely tied to their active participation in the business.

  • In short, a franchise investor works on the business, while an owner-operator works in the business.
