CHURNING 39

MARCH/AP

39

Caught in the web?A franchisee spends up to $450,000 on what he or she believes to be a viable

business. A year or two later, the business folds and the franchisor reclaims the business

for a significantly lower price. Is this a rare and unfortunate consequence of poor business

skills and misguided expectations? Or is it the result of the unscrupulous and unlawful

practice known as churning or recycling?

Churning is the term usedwhen a franchisor sells abusiness to a franchiseefor full price, forces thebusiness to fail, purchases it back fora nominal cost and then sells it onceagain for the full price. It might involvemisrepresenting the potentialprofitability of a business ordeliberately creating financial hardshipfor an apparently successfulfranchisee. Andrew Terry, Professorand Head of School of Business Lawand Taxation at the University of New

South Wales, describes it as the most serious of all possibleaccusations which could be levelledagainst a franchisor.The term first came to generalnotice last year when tv programToday Tonight Perth ran a story onformer Bakers Delight franchiseeDeanne De Leeuw. Sydney radiostation 2UE picked up on the storyand talk-show host Glenn Wheelerdedicated a series of hour-longsegments to the subject. Other

WHAT’S NEW 39

Youthful franchise businesses have enthusiasm, flexibility,

potential and perhaps a great new idea, on their side. Are you joining them in 2008?

When you survey the

franchise market in

Australia household names

on the high street and in

business and services convey a sense of

well-earned success; established

businesses look good and who wouldn’t

want a piece of the action? After all,

among prospective franchisees surveyed

last year for a recruitment report by 10

Thousand Feet (see page 7 for more)

those interested in food cited McDonalds

as the kingpin.

But as the recent

PricewaterhouseCooper Excellence in

Franchising Awards indicate, plenty of

franchises are maturing nicely into

substantial businesses. We asked two of

the awarded franchisors what has made

their business a success.

The son of two hairdressers, John

Brennan, has been cutting locks since

1978. His six year old franchise business

John Brennan Hair, started out as a

simple barber’s cutting concept for men

and women but Brennan quickly learned

that no business can stand still and

indeed requires a flexible approach.

“We realised we had to look at the

system and we had to adapt to get the

best for our franchisees. If you’re running

a shop in Sydney, if you’re in Liverpool or

Bondi Junction, the model must be able

to adjust to the different demographics.”

Innovation is a necessity in business as

Brennan can testify. His company recently

won the PricewaterhouseCooper

Excellence in Franchising Innovation

Award 2007 for a massive investment in

training. “Basically we got back to square

one and looked at our training – not only

for franchisees but their managers and

staff and first year apprentices. We are

conscious of our industry’s enormous

shortage of staff and want to encourage

hairdressing as a career.

“It’s been an investment second to

none,” he adds, “but we needed to

invent, re-invent and install the John

Brennan culture. We want to be seen as

a franchise with an industry conscience.”

For Michael Renwick, recipient of a

Judges’ Recognition Award, Hotondo

Homes has built its success on customer

satisfaction.

“A customer in our industry has

The high profile investigationinto complaints of churningmay be over, but thecomplainants have notgiven up. Domini Stuartreports on the continuingsaga of franchisee fury.

On 22 April 2008, theAustralian Competition andConsumer Commission(ACCC) announced that it

had concluded investigations intoallegations against Bakers Delight. Noevidence had been found that thecompany had engaged in misleading,deceptive and unconscionable conducttowards franchisees, or breached theFranchising Code.

The investigation began in April 2007after the ACCC received a number of

complaints, predominantly from formerBakers Delight franchisees, that thecompany engaged in the practicecommonly described as ‘churning’ – sellinga franchise site repeatedly in circumstanceswhere the franchisor is aware that it will fail.

The ACCC found that there was noevidence of churning within the BakersDelight system – in fact, the report went sofar as to say that the company is generally

SMALL BUSINESS 115

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2008 FRANCHISING

Buying a franchise might be

buying your freedom from a

salaried position, or it might be

the alternative to setting up a

business from scratch by yourself

– either way, with a new

franchise at your fingertips you

have joined the ranks of the small

business brigade.

Running a small business

requires a set of skills quite

different from the talents needed

to do the work itself. Whatever the

task at hand that brings in the

dollars, there are still taxes,

insurance and salaries to pay,

health and safety considerations,

security issues, employment

processes, record keeping… the

list goes on.

So we have introduced a

brand new element to

Franchising magazine, the

publication that offers you an

independent insight into buying

and running a franchise.

Our dedicated Small Business

section will provide useful

information on a variety of small

business issues – subjects that

are shared with all other small

business owners, whether or not

they are also franchisees.

If you have never run a

business before we hope you will

find them a useful starting point,

a helping hand with the time-

consuming aspects of business

that are so easily put aside for a

later date.

In this issue we have a guide

to tax: Taxing issues looks at

what you need to consider

before putting together your tax

return.

In a regular Tech Spec slot we

aim to show you in table form

how a variety of products

compare for suitability, features

and price. In this issue we look at

the technical specifications of

alarm systems, to help you make

the decision of what security tool

you need to suit your business.

In upcoming issues we will

have guides to superannuation,

health and safety, employment

and choosing an IT system.

SAVING MONEY32

Buying a business is daunting and a bottomless pit for

your finances so anything you can do to cut back the

costs has got to be good news. We’ve asked fran-

chisees, franchisors and business advisors for their

personal tips on saving money, from asking for discounts, clever

stock ordering, bill payments, services and saving the money by

doing it yourself! Have a read…

The retail franchisee

Debbie Wines, Holy Sheet franchisee in St Kilda

and Fitzroy.

The most important money-saver is having good staff

who are doing their job. I consistently employ older

staff; I have some younger casuals, but you need

someone with a bit of passion at the heart of the business.

Another tip – pay your suppliers on time. You have to

build up a relationship with your suppliers, they

become part of your business framework, so late

payments can cause problems.

I also pay my top 10 suppliers on time every month.

Greg Murphy, Holy Sheet franchisee in Rhodes, Sydney

Have a look at what the franchisor suggests you

buy in, then ask other franchisees what you really

need. You can cut back your initial costs by not

over-stocking.

Always get more than one quote when you are having

work done, and for a fit-out.

JULY/AUGUST 2008 FRANCHISING

Fastway CouriersTell us about your brand

Fastway is a franchised national courier organisation, establishedin New Zealand in 1983 and in Australia in 1993. It is in ninecountries, operating from more than 104 locations and with atleast 1,500 courier franchisees. Group sales now exceed $385million. Market-share in Australia is believed to be in the order offive to 10 per cent, making Fastway one of the largest dedicatedcourier operators in Australia.Australian Couriers Pty Ltd trading as Fastway Couriers(Australia) is the national master franchisor.

How many franchisees do you have?Twenty-five regional franchise territories across all capital citiesand most major regional centres as well as 617 courier territoriesof which 500 are franchised.

How are you going to grow the business in 2008?Targeting sales growth of more than 10 per cent to $121 million,through like-on-like sales growth using our proven local areamarketing system that we call saturation marketing.We are planning to add another 16 sales reps this year tobring our national field sales team to 45. New technologydevelopments over the past few years are helping us win somemajor national accounts to the benefit of all franchisees.

Where do you expect the business to be in 2010?Our long-term Australian sales target is $178 million per annumby 2013.

What do you expect from a franchisee?At a courier franchisee level, we expect enthusiasm and reliabilityfrom applicants. At a regional (master) franchisee level, weexpect prior business experience, administrative or sales skills orboth, plus passion and reliability for the brand.

What are the start-up costs for a franchisee and what work-ing capital should they have?At a courier level, the typical cost is about $30,000 plus thelease or outright purchase of a late model long wheel base van.It is usual that an income guarantee of between $1,200 and$1,500 per week is provided for a period of between five to 12months from start up.

At a regional (master) franchisee level, a small operation mighttypically require between $100,000 and $1 million for goodwill,while the larger metropolitan regional franchises which rarelycome on to the market can fetch much higher prices.

What is the length of agreement? Our franchise agreements are perpetual. As a consequence ourfranchisees have more confidence that their investment inbuilding the business will be returned to them as goodwill whenit comes time for them to sell.

What sort of hours will the franchisee have to work to getthe business established and how long should that take?It takes hard work and dedication and 12 hour days arecommon. If you don’t like hard honest work, then don’t buy aFastway franchise. However, we are a Monday to Fridaybusiness, so your weekends are your own.

What profit can a franchisee reasonably expect to make aftertwo years?At a courier franchisee level we target average weekly earningsof between $1,250 and $1,500. The profitability of the regional(master) franchisees varies greatly with size and maturity but weexpect these to be returning six figure profits or higher for themetropolitan operations.
