What's Between A Job And A Business?

Maybe your best option... Franchises are like businesses, but along with tried and proven systems come training and ongoing support.  No wonder there has been significant growth in the number of franchises in this country during the last decade, with the estimated number now nearing 20,000. Translate this into dollar value and you are looking at over a $10 billion dollar industry New Zealand wide.
 
Well the good news is finding the right option has just got a whole lot easier! nzbizbuysell has just launched a new, specialist website www.nzfranchises.co.nz, aimed specifically at bringing together franchise sellers and prospective franchise buyers.
 
Simply log on and peruse the huge variety of available franchises. Conversely, franchise owners or their agents can utilise the site to target buyers by advertising on a franchise-specific medium.
 
There are many attractions to owning a franchise. Number one at the top of people's lists is the desire to work for themselves, thereby controlling their own lifestyle and financial destiny. The beauty of chanelling this desire into a franchise is risk management. A franchise already has established and proven business systems with management and marketing input from the franchiser. Combine this with the initiative, support, energy and commitment from the franchisee and it is easy to see why there are many happy and successful franchise owners out there.
 
Richard O'Brien of nzbizbuysell.co.nz recognised this New Zealand wide trend and has established a specialised "franchise for sale" website nzfranchises.co.nz to make the process that much smoother.
 
As a specialist online market place, prospective buyers are able to easily search out opportunities and access a wide range of useful, related resources.
 
"It made sense to develop an opportunity and resource specific site to compliment our busy "Business for Sale" website. We see franchises falling halfway between having a job and owning a business. This requires different information and support to that of our general business opportunities," says Richard.
 
"We have thousands of buyers searching and subscribing to our services every week, looking for franchise and business opportunities. Streamlining the process and having franchise specific information provides a more effective medium for both franchise buyers and sellers," he says.
 
The feedback from marketing on our suite of sites has been extremely positive. Auckland franchise operator Mike said "this is the first time I have had anything to do with internet selling and found it to be a great success.  We had around 15 replies with three serious buyers in the first week".
