There isn’t much which can’t be franchised, and franchising is used by businesses globally in almost every industry, creating a world of career opportunities, both within Australia and across the globe.
Franchising is also increasing in popularity, particularly across the Asia-Pacific, so even if you’re not intending on franchising your business or buying a franchise you can still apply your newly acquired skills in a franchise head office.
There are many different roles within a franchise head office which, depending on the franchise, may include:
- franchisee field support
- leasing and property
- site and territory selection
- marketing and communications
- legal
In Australia alone there are 1100 franchisors and more than 65 000 franchise outlets, with the sector employing nearly 700 000 people. So you can see that there are plenty of opportunities and great need for franchising expertise.
