How To Franchise My Business Simply (and get it right first time)

with

Brian Keen - Franchise Expert

Brian Keen has spent 30 years working in the franchise industry and is the author of the book "How to franchise my business - simply". In his time he has built up six franchise groups, with over 120 outlets between them, and consulted with many many more. He is frequently interviewed in the media on franchise issues.

The Queensland Government's Business Queensland page says “Franchises offer the independence of small business ownership supported by the benefits of a big business network”, and franchising can also be a very effective way of growing a business as a franchisor.

Australia loves franchising - there are 1,660 franchise groups in Australia that employ 4.4% of the entire workforce and franchised businesses outperform GDP growth. However recent bad press - due to bad behaviour by just a few groups - has cast an undeserved shadow over the industry. Franchising can still be great option - but you have to do it right!

At the lunch Brian will be talking about franchising as an option for fast business growth.

How Wynnum Business meetings work
At the meeting you'll have an opportunity to meet other business people (and of course members of Wynnum Business), plus hear from an invited speaker in a talk on an aspect of business. When you register we ask you to provide some information about your business, and then at the start of the meeting we briefly introduce everyone in the room - so you know who's who, and who you might want to speak to! There's a lot more information about Wynnum Business here - wynnumbusiness.org.
