It’s Showtime! Franchising Expo Celebrates 30 Years The Franchising & Business Opportunities Expo opens in Sydney in March at the brand new ICC Sydney, the first of four shows around Australia. Featuring a striking contemporary design, leading technology and multipurpose spaces, ICC Sydney is located in the heart of the city in the active precinct of Darling Harbour on Cockle Bay. A springboard for Australian small businesses since 1987, the Franchising Expo offers visitors a forum to compare and research a diverse range of franchise and other business opportunities, with investment levels starting from under $10,000 to more than $500,000. In Sydney 25-26 March, companies from a wide range of industries will showcase their business concepts, including Clark Rubber, The Graffiti Eaters, Godfreys, National Drones, Donut King, Pretzel World, Xpresso Mobile Café, Tax Assist and Solahart to name just a few. In addition there will be a contingent of Taiwanese companies for the first time, with 4 Australian Business For Sale ®

the show,” she says. We are celebrating our 30th year with a fresh new look and central seminar stage, so there will be a real buzz.” The free seminar program for the Sydney show includes keynote presentations from high profile franchisors such as John O’Brien. “It’s an incredible opportunity to hear from people at the top of their game, to learn from them and to see what drives them,” says Stacey. The Franchise Council of Australia will also
hold panel sessions with established and successful franchisors sharing their stories and taking questions from the floor, plus a panel of experts will give a useful overview titled ‘Is Franchising Right for You?’ “The seminars and free panel sessions are always a highlight of the Expo,” says Fiona Stacey. “It’s a good idea to check the program on our website before you attend, to make sure you’re in time to hear from any speakers who particularly interest you. “But of course the main game is on the show floor, with exhibitors from a wide range of industries all ready to encourage and inform visitors about their franchise or business opportunity.” Stacey adds that readers may gain free entry, by entering the code BFS when purchasing tickets online. “So grab your ticket now, it’s really time to stop dreaming and start doing!” For more go to www.franchisingexpo.com.au Contact Fiona Stacey for more information on exhibiting ph.

The Pros and Cons of Borrowing from Family to Buy a Franchise by Jason Gehrke
Advantages for franchisors: Access to younger, potentially more talented candidates
Jason Gehrke Although bank interest rates are at record lows in Australia, many potential franchisees still can’t raise the finance to acquire a franchise and are increasingly turning to non-bank lenders, particularly their parents and family members. The Franchise Advisory Centre estimates around 10% of new franchisees are now funded or underwritten by family finance, which it terms the Bank of Mum and Dad (BOMAD). BOMAD financing is very different from traditional bank lending. Banks will methodically and unemotionally evaluate a loan application, and will ultimately price their risk based on the security offered by the borrower, and their capacity to service the loan. The security requirement will normally boil down to bricks-and-mortar real estate (usually the borrower’s home), and the servicing requirement will be assessed on the business’ capacity to generate enough cash to repay the loan and meet all its other obligations (as well as pay a reasonable rate of return to the operator). BOMAD financing on the other hand, is often based on emotional, rather than purely financial considerations. If the Bank of Mum and Dad underwrites a loan provided by a bank by giving personal guarantees, or putting their house up for security, they bear secondary risk if the franchise goes bad and the loan is not repaid. However, if the Bank of Mum and Dad is the loan provider themselves, they bear the primary risk if the loan goes bad, which can have a flow-on effect to the relationship between the family members involved. There are a number of advantages and disadvantages of BOMAD financing for franchisors and franchisees. Here are a few: 8 Australian Business For Sale ®
With Baby Boomers approaching retirement age, more and more franchisees are coming from the ranks of Generation X and Generation Y. Generation X are often mortgaged to the hilt due to the rising property market, so have some real estate equity for security, but often not enough to buy a business. On the other hand, Generation Y can’t afford to enter the property market, so rarely have any real estate equity to offer. However both of these generations bring youth and vigour to franchising and are desirable candidates for franchisors. BOMAD financing may be the only way they can afford to get into business for themselves.
Disadvantages for franchisors: The loan is not treated as seriously as bank finance A franchisee risks all manner of adverse consequences if they miss repayments or default on a bank loan. These consequences are often absent for a BOMAD loan, which may not even be documented with a loan agreement between the parties. Therefore if the cost of failure to a franchisee is low, their drive to succeed may also be low. This is not a strong recipe for success and if the franchisee loses money, they may simply treat it as an advance on their inheritance, which might upset the family dynamics for a bit, but is often nowhere near as severe as what will happen if a bank doesn’t get repaid.
Mum and Dad might end up running the business If the business underperforms badly, the franchisee’s parents may become so concerned about their investment that they step in to influence the operation of the business, or are forced to take control altogether. This form of reverse inheritance (ie. the kids passing something to their parents) is a nightmare for franchisors, and even though it might be a breach of the franchise agreement, may be tolerated in preference to shutting down the outlet
altogether. The parents who end up running the business might never have attended franchise training, or fully understand the operations and culture of the business. Often for the franchisor, this makes a bad situation worse.
Advantages for franchisees: Potentially easier access to finance on more favourable terms Borrowing from the Bank of Mum and Dad may not require any securitisation, and may involve other more favourable terms (such as a lower rate of interest) compared to a bank loan. This can make life a lot easier for the franchisee, so long as they treat the loan seriously, which means at the very least they should still prepare a business plan and agree to minimum repayments over a set timeframe just the same as they would need to for a bank. Plus, Mum and Dad as proud (and invested parents) will always be more supportive and interested in the franchisee’s success than a bank.
Disadvantages for franchisees: Interfering parents Just as Mum and Dad are proud of their child’s achievements in business (with their money), so too will they offer unsolicited advice, guidance and other assistance that may be counter to the franchisee’s training or intuition, and be far less helpful than intended. Often this unsolicited support will be an unhelpful distraction to the smooth operation of the business, and at other times, it will be extremely useful. The key for the franchisee is to take the rough with the smooth, filter appropriately, and understand that all help offered by parents is generally made with the best of intentions.
Lack of proper documentation BOMAD loans are often undocumented, meaning they are not written down but are loosely based on a handshake or mutual understanding. If they are written down anywhere, they are rarely anywhere near the standard required for a bank loan. Continues on page 10

To eliminate the opportunity for future family arguments over money, BOMAD loans need to be documented via a formal loan agreement between the borrower and lender, indicating the principal to be lent, the term of the loan, the rate of interest to apply, and the consequences of default. Additionally, the parents should amend their wills to acknowledge the loan as an asset of their estate, and outline whether the loan should be offset against any other inheritance due to the child in the event of their passing. This helps reduce the potential for ugly disputes between siblings when dealing with their parents’ estate, or the risk of an executor calling-in the loan to settle the affairs of the estate. A franchisor would be wise to ensure that any BOMADfinanced franchisee has a proper loan agreement. It may even make it a condition of
granting the franchise that it be provided with a copy of the loan agreement to ensure that the franchisee is committed to repaying the loan and that the conditions of the loan are consistent with those of the franchise.
The bottom line This is not an exhaustive list of the pros and cons of BOMAD financing, however it does highlight some key considerations for both franchisees and franchisors. BOMAD financing is expected to grow in future and those franchisors who learn how to embrace it whilst managing its associated risks wiill potentially accelerate their growth compared to those who don’t. Jason Gehrke is the director of the Franchise Advisory Centre and has been involved in franchising for more than 25 years at franchisee, franchisor and advisor level.
The Burden of Regulation by Marc Hurwitz, B. Com, (Accounting) As the years roll by regulation and changes to regulation are being piled on by the three levels of government, Federal, State and Local. As the world changes there is a certain need for change, but does it have to be as voluminous as it is? Regulation in general is costing the country an extraordinary amount in carrying out the regulation and policing it. The government approach is to regulate by legislation covering every aspect. This means pages and pages of legislation being involved. There are also concerns that when the laws and regulations are drafted there is little thought into how they will affect the middle market. The middle market is large, and covers medium size private companies and small public companies. Government bodies will often have representatives from the large companies,
acting through lobbyists, and less often from small business to advise on the effect of legislation. The middle market is not normally represented and therefore the laws are not adapted to the special requirements of the middle market. The process of ensuring compliance with the various laws and regulations can be both time consuming and costly as outside legal and accounting advice is often required. It is also a continuous endeavour as laws and regulations are often changing. Any actual investigation by a government will result in a significant amount of time being devoted, which is time away from your profitable business activities.

The Refresh Renovations Opportunity More than a third of all construction worldwide is home remodelling1, yet very few specialise in it. Refresh Renovations has developed a unique business model that manages a home renovation from conception to completion. So what does the Refresh business model look like, and how does a franchise owner get started? Put simply, “We wrap a full business system around them” says Refresh Director/General Manager Australia, Mark Zilm. “Their success depends on how hungry they are.” Refresh provides all franchisees with training, coaching and access to our specialised IT system, right through to the little things like uniforms, car signwriting and business cards. We connect business owners with builders, designers, architects and tradespeople too – we even provide leads. “You need a lot of leads to grow a bigger business. A little builder can’t do that because he’s always building. “Our marketing engine and lead generation system is integral to the success of the Refresh brand,” Mark says. “Where small building companies might have to turn down work because their calendar is full, Refresh renovation
specialists can just hire more builders to cover their clients. A lot of building companies are under-funded and underresourced. We’re over-resourced and very motivated to create a successful world-class renovation company and become leaders in business performance, best practice and customer satisfaction.” The degree of operational support Refresh provides is essential to each franchise’s success too. We offer intensive operational
direction from the get-go, then ongoing coaching and support as a new franchisee sets their business up then continues to build and manage it. Our powerful integrated IT business management system makes it easy to manage clients and projects, and our highly-skilled office team can use the same software to set benchmarks, get insights from successful franchises that in turn can help underperforming ones, and gain a bird’s eye view of the entire company.
Every year we present two conferences, which provide valuable opportunities to rub shoulders with the rest of the Refresh family and draw inspiration from the most successful franchises. And if you just need some advice or an encouraging word, the Refresh head office is just a phone call away. Our partnership with industry leading suppliers is another valuable reason to join Refresh. We offer marketing programs with leading brands and training programs to help you better understand the renovation industry, and because our processes are standardised across the board, all Refresh franchisees are able to offer the same highquality service to all homeowners. The Refresh business model is unique because it’s very scalable. As long as there are homeowners looking to remodel their home and contractors looking for work, there will always be demand for more Refresh renovation specialists. The more leads we generate, the bigger the Refresh group will grow. The bigger the group, the bigger the brand. And the bigger the brand, the more profitable we’ll all become. 1 Joint Center for Housing Studies, Harvard

Are We the Last Generation to Need an Office? By Phil Hues The Internet is the most powerful force behind making traditional work practices and ‘the office’ less relevant. High speed connectivity and powerful software have the potential to render bus rides, train crushes and coffee queues in order to arrive at the office a thing of the past. Much of this is happening now. Today’s workforce could be the generation that pioneer ‘bleisure’ – a combination of business and leisure which irrevocably blurs the lines between home and work life, and if that happens, then what happens to the office as we currently know it? A recent report by Jones Lang LaSalle showed that within most organisations, staff desks are utilised just 60% of the time, with the other 40% spent in collaboration spaces or out with clients. In this environment people don’t even get a desk to call their own and companies are benefiting from it from needing less office space. Coupled to this is the fact that millennials don’t want to spend their day in an office if they don’t have to. As they seek to balance life style with work style, the office environment may not be the best place to do that. The ‘office’ of the future could be your home, your coffee shop, a library or a public park; and might be required to function in multiple ways as a touch down space, a collaboration space, a space where things can be built, a meeting place and more. As this new model for work emerges, the technology driving this movement forward is becoming more powerful. Technology will soon make it entirely possible 14 Australian Business For Sale ®
to enter the board room for a conference, face to face, with clients and colleagues from around the globe, while you’re still at home. Virtual Reality (VR) goggles can readily provide this capability. The time, cost and stress of business travel will be eliminated. Artificial Intelligence (AI) could take care of most mundane tasks that don’t require emphatic thought processes. Emails will be automatically read and filtered, with only the most important ones being discussed with you. What’s more, your AI device will provide details on each person you meet instantly, informing you of both their personal and professional information. In this world you’ll have the capacity to be more collaborative and innovative than ever before, with the ability to ‘see’ what those in the physical world are doing and communicate with them whenever you need to, including ‘seeing’ what is happening on a project site or in your retail outlet and ‘popping in’ to take care of things without physically being there. You’ll print what you need to work by downloading a design from the cloud and using a 3D printer to manufacture it.

Within this scenario, innovating will be more important than ever before.
It would be naïve to think that similar disruption won’t occur to white collar work environments, particularly, when millennials are demanding this new balance.
If mundane tasks are taken care of, the challenge to all workers will be to find new ways to add additional value.
Critically, if we are on the cusp of another workplace revolution, it is important that we contemplate its impact.
This will place a greater demand on workers to create more value for customers. Intelligence and innovation will become the ‘natural

Is Your Labour Apple Going Bad? By Bob Lyon Have you started to eat lunch or have a snack during a busy day when you get interrupted? Have you ever taken a couple of bites from of an apple and have to put it down to take care of something? The problem is when you come back, your apple has started to turn brown and just doesn`t look as appetizing as it did. The same thing can happen to your labour margin. If you “put it down” or don`t pay attention, you`ll find your labour margin going bad and just doesn`t look as good on your bottom line. A complete understanding of what affects your labour margin – and how to hold 60% margin fully loaded with benefits - is essential to maintaining a profitable business. One of the major contributors to a declining labour margin is your payroll when compared to your labour rate. Labour is a commodity that you buy and sell, much like your product inventory. The major difference is that, like the apple, labour margins go bad constantly. Labour is perishable; you purchase it for a short period of time and when the time is up, you have to re-buy it. One of the problems is like our big juicy apple, top staff don't "grow on trees," so when that talented person comes along, we have a hard time not bringing them on board. The only problem is that the big juicy apple comes with a big juicy price - and rightfully so, given their skills and talent. But do we need them and can our labour rate support them and still give the business the profit that it needs to make? Many owners need some help keeping things in line - a good accountant who understands the business sector or some type of professional coaching, for example. It helps prevent the tunnel vision that occurs when running a busy business.
more expensive employees and see whether your labour rate can support them. Take your most expensive staff member’s flat rate (or their hourly pay, if that is your pay system), then add to their pay for that one hour the additional costs involved in having the person there. You have to keep in mind that they cost you more, sometimes much more, than just their basic pay. Take into consideration payroll tax, superannuation, work cover, unemployment insurance, any health insurance, vacation time, sick pay, uniforms, etc. Take all these factors and add them to the hourly rate for the one hour. This gives you the actual cost involved for that big juicy apple. Now, remembering that this labour is something we buy so we must sell it to make a profit, we take the total that we have come up with and multiply it by 2.5 to give us a 60 percent margin on that person's labour. The number that you come up with should be at or lower than your current labour rate. If not, then you either need to raise your labour rate or you may not be able to afford that apple. Shopping the competition will let us know whether we are charging a competitive price for our labour. If we are lower than those around us, we can raise our rate and that may help, but if we have a labour rate at or above the competition and the magic number that we found at the end of the exercise is higher than our current labour rate, guess what: You can't afford the big, juicy apple that you have! Remember, we divided the expenses by the amount of time the person is standing on the floor. So if they are billing out less hours than they are on the floor, this will increase your actual cost per hour.
Analysing the Situation
The majority of businesses I consult with are making a 60 percent profit on the first hour, but by the time they calculate their profits on the 40th hour, they are making only a 15 percent profit margin. This is where most owners are getting hurt.
We need to look at our labour rate and see whether it has the ability to support the staff that we have and still give the business the return it needs. A Labour Rate Analysis is a simple way to check on your
Many of our clients have a labour rate that is higher than the competition and their business is thriving. The reason for this is their clients are willing to pay more because they trust them completely and

like the experience of visiting their establishment. Be careful attempting this strategy, however, unless you have done an extensive customer satisfaction survey and satisfied yourself of your customer approval rate. Selling the right mix of products and labour will help. Making sure that you have your maintenance items priced properly and giving good margins. Another guideline is to watch your team and make sure you have the right staff for the job. The expensive "A" technician is offset by your lower-level technicians who make less but are able to perform maintenance items. Keeping your less expensive technicians productive will help your labour margin, plus you are building for the future. Having the right mix of high to lower skilllevel technicians is a huge key to maintaining the 60 percent profit on labour. How do we know if we have the right mix? Too many times, owners/managers just go with what they think "feels" right. Instead of guessing, try this exercise: Take all the invoices for a certain time period - the longer, the better. Break them down into piles based on what level of skill was needed to perform the task that that task. Then count up the number of labour hours on the invoices for each function. This will give you a good guide on what type of staffing you need, compared to what you have. Remember that the big juicy apple looks good, but once the day has started and you’ve just taken a big bite. Make sure the last bite of the day tastes as good as the first.

Be a Brazzen Dealer If you live in a rural community I am sure this will interest you. My name is Tony, and About 7 years ago I set up a steel factory in China. Then a couple of years afterwards I decided to get my factory to make all the farming equipment and send a couple of containers to my property in Southern Tasmania.
At my first field day I would have got orders right there on the spot for over $60,000 and another $100,000 in subsequent sales. Since then I have not looked back, We have branded our products with the name Brazzen and In the last year I have brought in 2 containers a month.
I was going to give the rural guys in my area a run for their money, as we all knew they had been charging too much for years.
We are looking for Brazzen dealers just like me in your area, contact us at cam@brazzen.com to do just as I do.

They Laughed when I started importing out of China! My name is Cameron Mitchell. Over 10 years ago I started my own product sourcing company. My first order was for scrap-booking products and I made $7,000 profit from one order. Since those early days we have only grown, Now we do over 25 Million in sales per year.
As things grew I added Tony as my first partner. He would seek out his own clients and split the profits 50/50 with me. He now brings home 500k per year through the clients he has brought on. I decided it worked so well that I wanted to put on more partners and now I have a dozen all around the world. I need more. Right now we have a $6,480 Partnership option.
