franchisee?
Experience is our number one criteria. After that comes a qualification. We also look for people who have the desire to build a business rather than buy a job.
Which industry sectors are most requiring your services?
There isn’t an industry sector that we don’t service. Businesses registered for GST are our target market and there are plenty of them.
How do you market your services to potential customers?
Our experience and quality processes are the focus of our marketing. We have a significant quality control programme to provide clients with a superior service.
What kind of personality and work ethic does a prospective franchisee of yours require to succeed?
Franchisees need to be methodical and show attention to detail and be willing to follow the direction provided by the franchisor. They should also be willing to work hard with a positive, ‘can do’ attitude to make their business succeed.
