FROM THE EDITOR 24 January 2012
Buying a franchise might be a great way to go into business, but it still has its challenges. After all, it’s not like buying a car that you can sell if you don’t like it, or like finding a new job that you can leave easily. When you buy a franchise, you’re going to be living and breathing the business for the next few years – which is why it’s so important to find something that really suits you.
A new survey from Massey University found that most franchisees felt they hadn't been careful enough before buying their business. If you are looking for a new opportunity, then, it’s worth learning from their experience – and that’s what this website is all about. You can find out about over 250 different franchises in our directory, read profiles of opportunities and franchisees, and find out more about using a lawyer and an accountant. Take the time to check it out – you won’t regret it.
Oh, and you can send for a free copy of Franchise New Zealand magazine, too. Now summer has finally arrived, there's some great advice about finding a business that will provide the lifestyle you want.
