Representing and connecting the New Zealand franchising community for 30 years
New Zealand is a nation of small businesses and is the most franchised country in the world per capita. Franchising helps drive economic growth, employment and entrepreneurship all over the country.
The Franchise Association of New Zealand Inc (FANZ) was established in 1996 to unite members of the franchise community, promote best practice, share knowledge, and uphold high standards across the sector.
As a collaborative, member-centric, and credible organisation, FANZ is dedicated to fostering a thriving and sustainable franchise sector through franchising excellence. We are also proud members of the Asia Pacific Franchise Confederation and the World Franchise Council.
What is
Franchising?
Put simply, franchising is where a business (called the franchisor) expands nationally or internationally by granting a person or other business (called the franchisee) the right to operate their business model in another geographic location for a set period of time. The right will usually include the ability to use the brand name, the business system and the know-how of the franchisor.

FANZ helps you realise you are not alone in the world of franchising - any situations you find yourself in, other members probably have been there too and therefore can advise on their experience and outcomes.

It is important for franchises to come under the umbrella of the Franchise Association and see it as an investment to succeed in franchising. Otherwise, you stand alone, without the continuing support and education that you need to build your business.

We have been a proud member of the Franchise Association of New Zealand (FANZ) since 2003. Being long-term members of FANZ has been incredibly beneficial for us at Super Liquor. The adherence to the FANZ Code of Practice and Ethics resonates deeply with our core value of always doing the right thing, ensuring that our operations remain ethical and credible.
Morgan McCann | CEO Super Liquor
We joined, and continue to be a member of FANZ, because it represents what’s good and right about franchising; it’s ethical, credible and has integrity. As members, we voluntarily adhere to the FANZ Code of Practice and Rules.

Being a franchisor can be lonely and it’s not always human nature to share stories of hard times, failure or struggles. However, when you’re connected to a group of like-minded businesspeople who have travelled a similar path, you’ll find yourself supported and encouraged. The Franchise Association of New Zealand also has a great culture of celebrating success, benchmarking, and providing insight and education to help you, help your franchisees become even more successful.
Jon Hassall | Chief Operating Officer Café Brands
FANZ has been a huge support to me and to Propertyscouts as we’ve grown nationwide. They provide the resources, connections and voice our industry needs, and they’ve created a community where franchisors and franchisees can actually share and learn from each other.
Ryan Weir | former Director

Credibility and networking with other franchisors are incredibly valuable. The franchise sector is very supportive and there is significant sharing of ideas and information – more so than any other association or environments I have been involved with.
