Hot on the heels of the Brisbane show, the Franchising & Business Opportunities expo comes to Melbourne. If you love working around cars, there are a few business ideas to consider.
Geowash
The Geowash carwash concept has a track record over almost 16 years and has expanded to more than 35 countries.
“Our first store opened in 2013 and since then we have grown steadily, with 25 operational stores in four states by the end of 2015. We expect to double this number within the next two years. Our goal is to dominate the hand car wash and detailing industry,” says franchisor Sanam Ali.
A Geowash fixed site model with a combined caf_ and car wash business is an investment from about $335,000 plus GST, and this is a turnkey business.
“We will negotiate the site lease, design the site, apply for all the relevant car wash and cafe/food permits, build the complete business on site and provide every item required to commence operating the business.
“This includes advertising through social media, assisting with staff interviews, training, and onsite support. Ongoing operational assistance, operation manuals and regular visits from our management team build a path to franchisee success,” she says.
G-Force Simulators
Feel the G-force, that’s the promise of this business concept which has a race car simulator installed into a vehicle. Using the latest software technologies, the G-Force simulator provides an almost virtual-reality experience.
This licensed business provides services including corporate hire, party hire and public events.
Snap On Tools
Ideal for the mechanically-minded, this mobile tool retailer will be expanding its network of franchisees this year.
Snap-on was awarded as one of the top 10 best rated franchises in Australia by topfranchise.com.au and provides support and extensive training to franchisees.
When a new franchisee joins Snap-on a franchise development manager will ride along to provide support on the practical aspects – such as customer relations, administration and sales.
