Buying a Franchise - Getting Expert Advice

It is important that you utilise the skills of experienced franchise specialist advisors prior to making the decision to buy a franchise.  Ask your adviser if they are a member of the Franchise Association of NZ Inc.
 
The advisors that are most relevant here are:

• Franchise Specialist Accountant 
• Franchise Specialist Lawyer
• Franchise Bank Manager
• Consultant and Service Providers

Remember when choosing a professional advisor that, because they are providing you with advice on a life decision, the decision on who to choose is an important one. Talk to a few different advisors, see who you feel you can relate to and who demonstrates that they understand the role you require of them.
