Brisbane, Australia- Franchise Expo have partnered with Ace Cleaning to offer an individual or a partnership, the opportunity to start a cleaning business in Melbourne.

The Franchising Australia 2010 report conducted by Griffith University - on behalf of the Franchise Council of Australia - found that the sector remained stable following the global financial crisis.

Australian franchises contribute roughly $128 billion to the local economy – with 24 per cent of these operating in the retail sector.

According to the research, the vast majority of franchise systems continued to grow and the overall sector remained steady, while weathering the global storm proved too much for so many other small businesses.

In fact, in the two years since the global financial crisis, 56 per cent of franchisees noted an increase in gross sales – 54 per cent also reported a jump in profitability.

The franchise model offers a number of unique benefits when compared to alternative options.

Many franchisees take great comfort knowing that are investing in a proven brand and product.

The general public’s familiarity with a recognised brand is an incredible asset – as owners don’t have to struggle with brand exposure as they would with an unproven business name or service.

Franchises offer a reliable and consistent experience no matter where customers happen to buy the service and it is not uncommon for clients to continue using the same franchise should they move to a new area.

This idea of established brand exposure and service expectation has proven invaluable for business owners, as they are able to take advantage of these built-in advantages and hit the ground running.

There is also the issue of experience – a franchisor knows and understands why the business works and the proven model will give many owners the confidence that they can expect to operate whilst turning a profit and look to future growth.

This experience extends to training - unlike a new independent business, the franchisor-franchisee relationship is a mutually beneficial one and the support on offer will ensure that new operators don’t feel as if they are stepping out on their own.

Such a support network means that franchises are better equipped to cope with shifts in the economic climate – an especially important consideration for those embarking on their first business venture.

The strength of a franchise has led many to survive the tough times of the past few years, whereas many independent businesses have unfortunately fallen to the wayside.

It is with these advantages in mind that Franchise Expo have partnered with Ace Cleaning to offer one individual or partnership in Melbourne the opportunity to start their very own cleaning business.

Valued at $14,000, an Ace Cleaning franchise could be the perfect start to a lucrative business enterprise and comes complete with training and a support network to ensure the best possible outcome for the winner.

Franchise Expo has an established track record of helping numerous small business owners by offering business opportunities to start a profitable and stable business to build on a foundation of prior success.

Entrants can apply by detailing in 500 words why they would like to own their own cleaning franchise.

Entries should be sent to administrator@franchiseexpo.com.au before competition close on the 1^st of November.
