Welcome to the Franchise Association of New Zealand
The Franchise Association of New Zealand Inc. is the peak body representing the franchising community at government and other industry forums. Members of the Association are committed to observe the best practice in franchising through adherance to a Code of Ethics, a Code of Practice and the Rules of the Association.
The benefits of membership
Once accepted into the Association, franchises and service providers benefit from the credibility that membership provides. They are also able to use the resources of the Association to keep up to date on issues and enhance their franchising knowlege through conferences, seminars or other networking opportunities. Members and franchisees of Members are also able to access a range of business related savings and discounts including fuel, travel, recruitment, telecommunications, education, security and loss prevention.
Franchising in New Zealand
Franchising is a respectable and highly successful business format, both internationally and here in New Zealand. The turnover of franchised businesses in New Zealand is well over $15 billion a year and around 100,000 people are employed in franchises.
Buying from a member franchise
Buying a business always involves some risks, but if you buy a quality franchise business from a member of the Association, those risks are likely to be substantially reduced. Why is this? It's because in a respectable franchise system you are given the business tools to help you succeed and you have the help and support of your franchisor and fellow franchisees in the system.
