The Franchise Council

“The free seminars and 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.”

Dream Doors Makes Aussie Franchisees’ Dreams Come True More and more Aussies are living the dream of running their own business with Dream Doors - a kitchen renovation and installation franchise that’s achieved spectacular success in the UK and New Zealand.

such thing as ageing gracefully,” says Brady Morris, owner of Dream Doors Sydney Northern Beaches. “Everyone wants modern surfaces, and the Kitchen Facelift is an affordable alternative. When I tell homeowners and investors what they can achieve for their budget, they always get excited. That’s my favourite part of the job.”

Since launching in Sydney in March 2014, Dream Doors has already proved popular in local Australian markets, with franchises popping up all over the country.

“The response has been overwhelming,” says Cam. “Kitchen facelift and installation is a niche market, and we have a robust business model. There’s opportunity for franchisees to earn good money. Some of our operators have made more than $1 million in sales and $400k gross profit in their first year. Considering that the entry cost is $100k including working capital, that’s an outstanding return on investment.”

“The demand just keeps getting stronger,” says Cam Hadlow, General Manager. “We started with one franchise in Sydney and one in Adelaide, and new branches have been opening at the rate of one every month. Now, we have 24 franchises throughout NSW, VIC, SA, WA and QLD. Dream Doors owes part of its success to a unique Kitchen Facelift service. For half the cost of a traditional kitchen renovation, the Kitchen Facelift works magical transformations while retaining existing cabinetry - with new stone benchtops, softclose doors and drawers, and modern handles and hinges. All doors and cabinets are manufactured in Australia, with premium European hardware.

“When it comes to your kitchen, there’s no

Dream Doors attracts franchisees from a wide variety of backgrounds, with current operators including a former chiropractor, policeman, truck driver, salesman and builder.

“As a former tradie, I saw Dream Doors as a chance to use my skills and run my own show, with less risk,” says Simon Maynard, owner of Dream Doors Perth South Coast.

“It’s a proven model, with effective methods of generating enquiries and leads. So far, the returns have exceeded my expectations. I’m enjoying the work and it’s great to be on board.”

Dream Doors provides comprehensive training for new franchisees, including intensive sessions in systems and accounting, as well as hands-on support with real-life installations and clients.

Support was a key deciding factor for Scott Morrison, who had never owned a franchise before and now manages Dream Doors Sydney Lower North Shore.

“The support has been great – not only in terms of training, but also with marketing.

Being new to running a business, I love being able to use tried-and-tested systems.

Also, the brand is very well established. I’ve generated a good response running local promotions because people know and trust the brand.”

“We’re delighted with our progress in Australia so far,” says Cam. “Especially when you consider the Aussie passion for renovating, we see a bright future here for the Dream Doors brand. In the UK there are 80 franchises, and market indicators suggest there’s even more opportunity here.”

With 54 franchisees across Australia, many GroutPro franchisees are well on the way to their MORE goal since starting their own business.

GroutPro recognises that franchisees are now looking for businesses that have taken all the complication and manual processes out of the day to day operation, so franchisees can concentrate on the needs of their customers.

The GroutPro App helps franchisees take back control of their personal time by allowing them to quote then a there on the spot, walk the customer through the quote online, have the customer agree to the quote, sign off the quote to the customer's email or a portable printer.

Lead generation and management could arguably be the key to the success of all businesses, GroutPro’s sophisticated lead management system uses algorithms to

allocate leads. After all, no one likes to be kept waiting when they have problem – they just want to know when it can be fixed.

GroutPro still offers exclusive territories allowing franchisees to concentrate on local marketing and generating leads close to home, therefore, bringing valuable time efficiencies. With an array of local marketing tools, activities and collateral available, again franchisees benefit from the support from the franchisor.

Selling Your Business Due to Mounting Debts? Not All Is Lost!

By Troy Eichelberger – Founder of A1 Debt Assistance Be honest when you sell.

Many small and medium sized businesses experience regular cashflow problems. It is more common than you may think and it becomes a balancing act, or a poorly choreographed juggling attempt.

A clear head is the number one ingredient, not yours, your thinking is hampered by stress.

You need someone that offers substantial business experience and sound advice.

Don’t look at the usual suspects for support. No job can match the business experience you gain in the insolvency sector. Financial Crisis is what we deal with and learn from with every new case.

As an insolvency consultant, I see firsthand what can go wrong. I also often get to learn what would have made a difference, but by now it is too late. This is frustrating, knowing so much of financial pain could be eased or avoided altogether.

Not all insolvency consultants focus on helping clients avoid insolvency. A1 Debt Assistance does, as I lost my chain of retail stores during the Keating recession. I now help others avoid my mistakes.

You need to expand your horizons.

There are a multitude of reasons for your business to experience challenges. Often these are not obvious until the business undergoes a due diligence process.

Don’t have your first due diligence as part of the sale of your business. This is likely to turn into the purchaser being able to walk away from the deal.

Run your own check, or get help. Address the issues and establish which ones you can fix and which ones you can’t fix. How would this situation look under a new ownership? Can we turn weakness into strength?

Is it your personal debt that is dragging down the business? There are solutions and under some circumstances you may be able to go bankrupt and still operate your business. Freeing up cashflow.

18 Australian Business For Sale ®

After losing my small chain of 5 retail stores, I ended up in Commercial Real Estate – selling businesses. I was shocked when going through the listings. Many business listings, with substantial asking prices had no more than junk value. The prices reflect the owners financial needs to get out, not the value of the business.

Don’t let your business become such a listing. I started to help struggling business owners who had nothing to sell, to turn things around and stay in business or finally be able to sell.

Buyers need to know if it’s a basket case and the asking price needs to reflect this.

This does not stop you from selling, it stops you from cheating. Don’t ruin someone else in the process.

The No-Go zone. Basket Case and overpriced.

The figures must stack up so the buyer can borrow against the business. A cash buyer is rare. Whenever it seems’ a buyer is ready, the accountant or the bank manager will pull the plug.

Due diligence is there for a reason. I never understood why agents would even run with shonky listings. Fix them first and you actually have something to sell.

What are your options?

At A1 Debt Assistance we receive calls from business owners ready to enter into some form of insolvency.

Often, we help them avoid this. We approach it similar to a due diligence process. Our motivation is to detect the main culprit causing your business problems and develop remedies.

your repayments remain. The tax saving is now killing your business.

There are insolvency options that may actually help you, whilst still being able to keep your business.

How does this help you to sell your business?

People generalise things and overlook the detail. To establish your best sales options for a difficult business, get someone that has the skill to look at the detail. Numbers tell a story, they don’t just add up. Get professional help to decipher the story for your business.

Different buyers have different reasons to purchase a business.

Your business may have major flaws, but someone does put value to certain parts.

This could be your data base, or a contract that is not viable under your structure. It could well be managed effectively by a larger player. Your store could be in an ideal location, just not for your type of business. Sell the lease to the right business or chain.

Once you understand the true selling points, you get a better understanding of who the likely buyer is. Don’t let them know they are your last hope! Now you can create your hit list of targeted buyers.

You have approached a competitor and they are interested. Trust me, they will find out how tough it is for you. Their approach will likely be the waiting game. They are not paying, they just wait for you to close the doors and they are on the phone to the landlord – taking over your goodwill for nothing.

Why advertising the sale of your business is so important?

A purchaser does not have the same overheads than the current seller. This relates to existing car loans, business loans, over drafts etc – all such figures are called add backs. Running through this process will tell you if you have a business that could be viable to a particular purchaser. It also will determine your asking price.

To avoid the above scenario. Your buyer should fear they could miss out. You could be dealing with multiple buyers. This will give you a much greater chance to sell your business and get the best possible price under the circumstances. Create the balance of supply and demand.

For tax reasons we are encouraged to make business purchases on finance and use the finance costs as write downs.

Unfortunately, when the turn over drops,

Why Franchisees Struggle With Change

by Jason Gehrke Change is seen as an optional inconvenience, rather than necessary for long-term survival.

Jason Gehrke A common gripe among franchisors is the difficulty in getting franchisees to embrace change.

Change in a franchise network can be big (such as a complete rebranding or the introduction of a new IT system) or small (such as minor change to a common procedure to increase time efficiency or customer satisfaction).

Of course change is necessary for the survival of any business, and a franchise is no different.

Yet introducing change into a network is one of the most difficult challenges for franchisors, and often results in networks with surprisingly high levels of operational diversity among franchisees’ businesses where complete uniformity might otherwise be expected.

Surprisingly, some franchise networks are even slower at implementing change than non-franchised chains of similar or even greater size.

So why is change so difficult for franchisors?

Here are five reasons to consider:

1. The change itself The nature of the change sought by the franchisor might itself be the reason why franchisees are reluctant to embrace it.

If the change is perceived as too radical, or too different from the way that things are already done, the collective capacity of the network to bridge the gap between the “old” versus the “new” just might not be enough to get there.

If the vision for the change is pitched too far above the current reality of the network, then franchisees will fail to see the link or the real need for the proposed change.

In other words, if franchisees can’t understand the vision and accept the rationale for the change, then it’s unlikely they’ll want to implement it.

2. Inertia A simple reason for franchisees failing to embrace change is often the resounding lack of willingness to do so.

22 Australian Business For Sale ®

The one word guaranteed to clear any room in seconds and overcome inertia is “Fire!”.

Sometimes people need to smell the smoke or see the fire before they respond, and by then it can be too late.

Franchisees resist change because they are comfortable where they’re at and refuse to believe there’s a fire until the flames are practically engulfing them.

Another reason for inertia stems from the franchisee’s acquisition of the franchise in the first place. Very few franchisees have ever owned a franchise before. Their nearest frames of reference to buying a franchise are other big-ticket acquisitions, such as buying a car or buying a house.

Generally when buying a car or a house, the buyer can do whatever improvements or renovations they want with their new acquisition in whatever timeframe it pleases them to do so.

Only in rare circumstances are car or home owners told by an external party (such as an inspector of roadworthiness or a local government authority) that they must make changes to their prized possession, so from their point of view, why should franchisees implement changes to their businesses any quicker than it suits them?

Another reason for franchisee inertia related to their purchase of the franchise is the mental polaroid the franchisee takes of the business at the moment of joining the network. To the franchisee, the business freezes in time as at their commencment date, and changes imposed on them afterwards are somehow seen as eroding that mental photograph.

This sentiment is best expressed in the exasperation of franchisees who oppose change on the basis that “This isn’t what I signed-up for”.

3. Cost versus Benefits Even those franchisees who understand the need for change may still baulk at actually implementing it because the costs are perceived to outweigh the benefits.

Unfortunately this feeling is all too common among franchisees faced with big-ticket costs attached to changes requested or demanded by the franchisor, particularly those to do with rebranding or store refurbishments which will cost franchisees tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, with no guarantee

that the business will perform any better once the changes are implement.

Franchisees who are compelled to spend money to implement change are justifiably concerned that the cost will outweigh any benefits. Clause 30 of the new Franchising Code of Conduct deals with capital expenditure relating to change by now requiring franchisors to provide franchisees with a written statement outlining the rationale for the change, the amount of capital required, the outcomes and benefits of the change, and the expected risks associated with making the investment.

This obligation under the Franchising Code has only existed since 1 January this year, so it is possibly still too soon to determine how effective it has been in addressing franchisee concerns over costly changes.

Some franchisors overcome franchisee fears about the costs of change by partially or fully funding the change themselves. Not surprisingly, this overcomes much of the resistance to chang because it reduces or eliminates risk to the franchisee, enhances the value proposition of the change among franchisees, and accelerate deployment of the change across the network.

4. Operational issues Another barrier to the introduction of change is the perceived disruption to the franchisee’s business caused by implementing the change. The disruption may be perceived as so severe, that the short term pain to the franchisee and their business outweighs any long-term benefits.

There may also be limited windows of opportunity in which a franchisee can implement the change, such as for businesses with highly seasonal demand.

If, for reasons beyond the franchisee’s control (such as the availability of vendors, etc), the change cannot be introduced during the franchisee’s best window of opportunity, the change may be forced to wait longer than the franchisor anticipates (or is prepared to accept) until the franchisee can next consider its implementation.

5. Culture Finally, the culture of the organisation may be one in which change is viewed with fear and suspicion due to past changes that have failed to deliver their promised benefits.

Likewise, franchisees who freezeframe their businesses at the point of joining the Continues on page 31

brands and retailers to cater to them, and the way to embrace this sector of shoppers is instant convenience, automation, a 24/7 online presence and turning a brand into a constant experience.

Must-have business apps in 2018

A few tips to sell to Gen Z: don’t create ads – create value. Gen Z’s filter for advertising content is x10 of millennials. Tell them why they should care in eight seconds or less.

Build a presence in multiple places, because their attention is split among three screens. Gen Z have fewer concerns about privacy and are prepared to give their personal details in exchange for a valuable deal.

Apps can speed up, sort and automate business – essential in today’s digital world where instant is the baseline expectation.

WhatsApp has recently launched ‘WhatsApp Business’ created especially to keep customers connected to their favourite brands. Packing features like customised business profiles containing essential information, quick greetings, automated messages and metrics, it lets your customers stay in touch and in the loop 24/7.

Keeping track of every business expense is essential for tax.

Expensify lets you automate every step of the expense reporting process from management and receipt tracking to business travel.

Clocking up over 5 million users worldwide, the app lets you snap a photo of your receipt and takes care of the rest – removing spreadsheets from the picture.

Today almost every digital platform requires a password.

LastPass not only pulls up your password for every site you visit, but records the URL in its ‘vault’ too. You won’t have to crack codes ever again.

The key feature of these apps?

The automation of complex and time-intensive processes.

Artificial intelligence virtual reality

Consider a customer purchases a bottle of olive oil through an AI-powered shopping list app every 15 days. Through AI the app will start to alert them when it thinks you’re about to run out, or it might recommend a new brand to freshen things up. In this way, simple statistics add up to intelligently influence spending.

AI serves a dual purpose: creating a leading customer experience and efficiency across companies.

At the moment, virtual reality (VR) headsets have captured attention in entertainment, but VR for business is the wave of the future.

Imagine your customers putting on a headset, dialling up your VR site and experiencing your products. Test driving cars, trying on clothes, exploring a rental apartment – all of it can be experienced like in real life using VR. IKEA has a VR showroom where customers can rearrange furniture, change colours or swap designs to get the results they want.

As cheaper, consumer-grade VR equipment is available customers, 3D VR experiences will become as critical to brands’ success as website.

Gen Z spending patterns

AI is completely shifting the way customers shop in 2018.

Where it stands out for brands is creating a stronger tie to stores. While supermarkets and department stores have reward cards, AI prompts customers to use them – sending alerts when new stock arrives straight to their phones.

The Eight Key Elements of A Business Plan ‌ And How to Make Them Work for You By Bob Lyon "I don't have one" was Dave's response when I asked to see his business plan for his new company.

You may think this is normal for a first time entrepreneurial adventure. But what if I told you that Dave has started many companies in his 20-year tenure as an entrepreneur?

And with all the companies Dave started, none of them have ever exceeded revenues of a million dollars. Many of them failed and Dave was forced to shut them down within the first year of business.

Does this mean Dave is a terrible businessman?

Not necessarily.

What it means is Dave did not understand the purpose and the value in creating a business plan. And unfortunately this is pretty typical of many entrepreneurs.

They think flying by the seat of their pants and relying on their street smarts

and intuition is the spirit behind entrepreneurship. This could not be further from the truth.

your next steps and specific strategies and tactics.

If you don't plan for growth . . .

But most importantly is forces you to face the facts. Because the most important element in success is this:

Now I know what you are thinking. You are thinking that you and other entrepreneurs you know have never developed a business plan and you are doing "ok" - right?

A good entrepreneur/executive has the ability to face the facts!

Well here is the big secret - you can always do better. I know for me - "ok" simply is not good enough!

And if you don't plan for growth you may grow but chances are you will not be able to sustain it. Planning for growth is essential.

According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, two thirds of CEO's of fast growth organizations develop some type of business plan.

It is actually the exercise of drafting the business plan that is important - sometimes more important than the plan itself.

Writing a business plans forces you to focus on the important and essential elements of your business. It makes you think through

This does not mean when the facts suit you - it means all the facts all the time.

I know so many entrepreneurs and business owners who make excuses for all the failures within their business.

Sadly, so many of those failures could have been avoided with the construction of a business plan.

The Eight Key Elements of a Business Plan 1) Executive Summary: Within the overall outline of the business plan, the executive summary will follow the title page. The summary should tell the reader what you want. This is very important. Clearly state what you're asking for in the summary.

The statement should be kept short and businesslike. It should be kept to a ½ a page to 1 full page depending on how complicated the use of funds may be.

Within that space, you'll need to provide a synopsis of your entire business plan.

2) Market Analysis: This section should illustrate your knowledge about the particular industry your business is in.

A market analysis forces the entrepreneur to become familiar with all aspects of the market so that the target market can be defined and the company can be positioned in order to collect its share of sales.

A market analysis also enables the entrepreneur to establish pricing, distribution and marketing strategies that will allow the company to become profitable within a competitive environment.

In addition, it gives one an indication of the growth potential within the industry, and this will allow you to develop your own estimates for the future.

Begin your market analysis by defining the market in terms of size, structure, growth prospects, trends and sales potential.

3) Company Description: This section should include a high level look at how all of the different elements of your business fit together.

The company description should include information about the nature of your business as well as the crucial factors that you believe will make your business a success.

4) Organization and Management: This section includes your company's organizational structure, details about the ownership of your company, descriptions of your management team and qualifications of your panel of experts or board of directors.

5) Marketing and Sales Strategies: This is the lifeblood of your business. Marketing creates customers and customers generate sales. In this section, define your marketing strategies. Start with strategies, tactics and channels that you have used to create your greatest successes.

Next, branch out to others that may be working for your competitors. Remember that this section will be constantly updated based on your results.

6) Service and/or Product Line: In this section describe your service and product.

What is it that you are actually selling? Make sure to emphasize the benefits (not the features). Establish your unique selling proposition. This means you have to show not only how your product is different but also why it is better.

Choice Apparel

8) Financials: Develop the financials AFTER you have analysed the market and set clear objectives. You should include three to five years of historical data.

A good business plan is never meant to be written once. And a good business person understands that this plan evolves as your business evolves and as your environment changes, as marketing campaigns exceed expectations or fail to meet your assumptions.

Re-visit your plan at least quarterly, monthly is best.

And remember you do not have to go it alone. Bring your plan to lunch with a mentor or colleague. Ask questions and present data accurately.

Once you start this process you will find yourself looking forward to reviewing and updating your plan.

network (see Inertia above) are hardly predisposed to change because the topic of change rarely arises during the recruitment process when it arguably needs to be discussed the most.

The recruitment phase is when the expectations of franchisees are most impressionable. If it is communicated clearly and repeatedly to franchise candidates during the recruitment phase that survival and success in business relies on the capacity to change, regardless of the business model or franchise brand, then it is more likely that as franchisees in future these candidates will better understand and adapt to the required change.

Franchise networks that have a culture of embracing change, and which demonstrate progress change is an evolutionary requirement for profitable businesses to

survive, will be more likely to have franchisees who accept change than networks for whom change and innovation is ad hoc and intermittent Conclusion When franchisors can foster change-friendly cultures, overcome operational and cost issues in relation to change, provide benefits from change that are tangible to franchisees to overcome franchisee inertia, and can successfully demonstrate the path from “old” to “new”, then implementing change programs will become much easier for franchisors, and improve their competitive advantage against companyowned chains.

Caveat Emptor (BUYER BEWARE!) An Important Notice to All Vendors Dear Vendor, It has come to our attention that some vendors are being approached by other "so called Business for Sale type" organizations offering various packages with wildly exaggerated claims.

Buyer Beware Some of these organizations might be disguised as Business Brokers that are really only interested in your advertising dollar and not in selling your business, if in doubt ask them to show: A. That they are licensed to sell businesses B. That they are a member of the Australian Institute of Business Brokers (AIBB) or the Real Estate institute applicable to your state (Code of Ethics);

C. Names of vendors who they have sold businesses for and are happy with their services.

Some of these organizations are so called "Internet, magazines, etc." publishers.

In our 21 years of working in this arena, we have seen a lot of these organizations come and go.

Australian Business For Sale claims that we give you the best possible marketing/ exposure/ connection that is available in Australia.

Please check before you decide to go ahead or call us if you need more info.

Vendors / Purchasers Beware Deal With a Licensed Agent Throughout Australia those parties acting as agents for vendors or purchasers of existing businesses must be Licensed Agents. In fact, in NSW this has been the case since 1935, when the government enacted legislation designed to protect the public from unscrupulous operators.

All funds paid to an agent, including any pre-paid advertising expenses, must be deposited in the agent’s trust account, and accounted for to his Principal. If the agent misappropriate funds, he can be prosecuted under the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act, and the aggrieved party can get restitution by claiming upon a compensation fund. However, the fund is ONLY available to you if you have used the services of a Licensed Agent.

Should you be approached by someone representing themselves as an agent, who wants you to list a business for sale, and who asks for pre-paid advertising and marketing expenses, ask for their License Number. Then call the Department of Fair Trading to check if the number is genuine.

To be absolutely certain, deal only with a member of the Real Estate Institute Business Agents’ Chapter. All members of the Institute are Licensed Agents, and are bound by a code of ethics.

Call the Real Estate Institute in your state.
