The road to your future: Brisbane Franchising expo

Sarah Stowe

Are you considering a franchise but want to learn more about the sector? 

Why not pop by at the Brisbane Franchising and Business Opportunities expo this weekend?

Bruce Billson, executive chairman of the Franchise Council of Australia (FCA), will be at the show.

“I’m excited about strengthening the FCA’s engagement with franchisors and franchisees and continuing to build confidence in franchising as a proven and effective model of doing business,” says Billson.

“Franchising is a dynamic business model that provides franchisees with the chance to own their business, but with the knowledge and resources of your franchisor behind you,” he adds.

Billson emphasises the importance of potential franchisees researching before investing in a franchise, and the expo will be a hub for buyers to talk directly to those involved in the franchise sector.

“Franchisees should also make time to attend the free FCA seminars featuring successful franchisees and franchisors from different brands sharing their franchising journeys.”

On show: Car Care

Exhibiting at the expo, Car Care specialises in mobile car detailing with operations across the country, championing the work/life balance. Franchises are $46,200 (excludes van) for a 10 year term (an initial five years plus possible renewal), and are inclusive of detailing skills, marketing, sales and basic business training. Buyers need to have a willingness to work, a customer focused attitude and be able to follow a proven business model.  

Will we see you this weekend? The expo will be held the weekend of the 23rd-24th July at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre from 10am-5pm. Use the promo code FMG to get your tickets.
