DannyBoys’ survival guide as a small business
We all know that times are tough at the moment, with schools closed and thousands left unemployed or stood down and most small businesses suffering huge revenue losses. This has been caused by the changes in business operations and government restrictions about group gatherings, as well as unprecedented circumstances due to the COVID-19 global crisis. The hospitality industry is possibly one of the hardest hit with dine-in options stripped away and new measures put in place to force restaurants to operate on a takeaway and delivery service only.

Four problems you could experience when purchasing a business
As the popularity of buying an existing business continues to grow, it is important to avoid simple mistakes that are commonly made. There are benefits to purchasing a pre-existing business, as many of the tiresome, and tedious jobs are already completed.
An existing business will already have a location, and you will be able to benefit from their current brand awareness. However, there are still problems that you may come across when purchasing an existing business.
Mail Boxes Etc. (MBE) explains the four most common problems when purchasing a business:
Not playing to your strengths
It is essential to consider your strengths and weaknesses when purchasing a business and how they could help or hinder your potential new enterprise.
If you have very little experience in a particular industry and have very little skills in such an area, it is likely that you will struggle to run a successful business.
Instead, it is important to think about what you’re good at, and enjoy doing, and make your business purchasing decision around those. If you are determined on buying a particular type of business and know that your skillset is lacking, it could be a great opportunity to ask the old owner to provide some training. Many franchises, in particular, offer continues training and support.
Inadequate background research
When purchasing a new business, you want to know everything that you are signing up for.
Make sure you have checked off these questions:
Are there any economic predictions coming up that could affect the success of your new business?
Have you seen the financial books? And does everything add up? If the previous business owner is truthful and honest, they won’t be trying to hide anything from you
Do you know why the business is being sold?
Forgetting about marketing
Simply because the business may already have a well-known brand name, it doesn’t mean that you can neglect your business marketing strategy.
There can be an exception when purchasing a franchise, as the company as a whole may supply consistent marketing and advertising for all franchisees. However, it is important that you are aware of either situation when purchasing your business.
Not creating a proprietary liability company
Normally when you are signing a business contract, you are signing on behalf of the company – not yourself. If you end up signing in your own name, you’ll be taking on liabilities and other problems which you really don’t want. Instead, you will want to create a corporation or a proprietary liability company and use that name instead.
Again, this is a time when seeking some professional advice is a sound idea.
Because out of all the biggest mistakes you can make when buying a business, this one probably has the potential to cause you the most problems.
When you become a Mail Boxes Etc. (MBE) franchisee you will receive support in every aspect of purchasing a business. To find out more about their exclusive franchise opportunity click on the button below.

Own three businesses in one with Mail Boxes Etc. (MBE)
DC Strategy would like to introduce a prosperous opportunity to own and operate an MBE centre. MBE is a leading global company with over 2500 business locations internationally and 38 centres throughout Australia.
How prepared do your systems need to be?
Is your business in the position to franchise? If you have a business that has a unique selling point, is easily replicable, has been running for more than a few years, is profitable and you have a desire to grow, then it might be time to consider franchising. Before you start the franchise process you will need to establish a structure that can be readily employed by franchisees, this means there needs to be systems across all of your business streams that are documented, tested and replicable.
Refresh Renovations builds franchise network as three new franchisees jump on board!
Refresh Renovations, franchise leaders in the residential building and renovations industry will welcome three new franchisees to the brand in the upcoming months.
How a franchise development program sets your business up for long term success?
Has your business reached a critical point of growth with strong sales in your local market, a database of loyal customers and a desire to establish a regional or national presence? If this is the case, franchising is often an appealing model. With investments from franchisees, your business, brand and operations can quickly extend beyond the current base before the competition has a chance to get a foothold.
Final Reminder: Your Disclosure Document must be updated
Will you be issuing outdated Disclosure Documents?
As a franchisor, the Franchising Code of Conduct (“Code”) requires you to update your Disclosure Document at least once a year – four months after the end of the financial year.

Franchisee Testimonial- Talbot Auto Doors Franchising, One Year On
Talbot Doors is Australia’s trusted company for residential & commercial gates and automatic doors. With over 30 years in the business Talbot has built an outstanding reputation and loyal customers.
Talbot Doors has grown into Sydney’s most trusted door servicing partners. Today, the company works closely with many iconic Sydney buildings, earning a reputation for quality and reliability.
The business started franchising in 2017 and to date, there are business locations in Western Sydney, North West Sydney, Southern Sydney, Central Sydney (CBD), North Sydney and Northern Beaches.
Tek Temel runs the Western Sydney Franchise. Here’s what he has to say about his experience as a franchisee so far.
“I have been fortunate to find Talbot Auto Doors Franchising during my search to either start a new business or purchase an existing one.
It didn’t take me long to realise that the financial risk of starting my own business was too high, considering the time it would take to bring the business up to a point where I can draw a decent income.
I then started hunting to purchase an existing business or franchise, and found Talbot Auto Doors through DC Strategy.
James (DC) was a great help who provided business performance documents, financials and anything else I needed.
James set up meetings with Talbot Auto doors, and after going through all with a fine-toothed comb, I wanted in.
DC Strategy helped me set up the franchise, and pointed me in the right direction regarding financing.
With the experience of James, getting started was easy. Franchising Talbot Auto Doors Western Sydney was the best decision I made and two years on I haven’t looked back.
I’m really enjoying my franchise journey. The business model is sound, the work management system is excellent, the technical and manpower support from Talbot Doors is fantastic.
My business is flourishing and my son has also joined me. I now make a good living and planning for my family’s financial future is now a pleasure.”

Why Choose a Franchise Development Program Instead of Legal Documents
As franchising specialists, we often meet with business owners who look to franchise their business by only obtaining the necessary legal documents. In most cases, these business owners struggle to succeed in the competitive franchise market because they skip the integral research, strategy and planning stages of franchising that are specific to their business offering.
How To Know If Your Business Is Ready To Franchise
We’ve worked with many entrepreneurs and business owners, and if there is anything they have in common, it’s that they are ambitious and focused on the big picture. That’s why many business owners look to franchise their business when they have reached a certain level of success. Franchising is the logical next step when your business has a proven concept, is profitable and operations are established and functional.

New Burwood Brickworks Shopping Centre builds new opportunities
Ben & Jerry’s is encouraging potential franchisees to scoop up an extremely attractive opportunity to set up a Scoop Shop franchise in the new Burwood Brickworks Shopping Centre.
The 13,000sqm dining and entertainment precinct will be anchored by a full line Woolworths, 14,00sqm Dan Murphy’s, over 40 specialty shops and a boutique 6 screen cinema. The new site is deemed a perfect location for the next Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shop in Australia. Key benefits of the location include:
Workers- The building has a combination of windows, louvres, and skylights to provide fresh air and daylight to all regularly-occupied spaces. Any area of a tenancy where a staff member occupies for more than 4 hours must have access to natural daylight.
Customers- The building incorporates ‘biophilic design’ – that is, design elements that connect occupants with nature. This environment should encourage longer dwell time and repeat visitation.
Community- The development of the shopping centre will increase the ecological value of the site overall and also contribute to a fund that protects part of the Tasmanian punchbowl. For every dollar of build cost, Frasers will donate half a cent to a charity or social good project of choice.
Suppliers- All building products will have a complete ingredients list, showing that they contain no ‘worst-in-class’ Red List chemicals such as Formaldehyde, HFRs, and PVC. All timber will be Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified or salvaged. The material supply chain will be as local as possible. There will be a substantial reduction in landfill waste, in construction and operation.
Environment- A rooftop urban farm is part of a series of measures that enables on-site food growing. This centre will be Net positive water and energy.
Burwood Brickworks Shopping Centre is part of a regeneration project led by Fraser Property that aims to create the world’s most sustainable retail centre, by seeking global accreditation under the Living Building Challenge. Flowing out onto a lush Urban Plaza the retail hub sits below a first for an Australian shopping centre- an exciting, innovative and activated rooftop urban farm.
Along with many other worldwide issues, Ben & Jerry’s is a big ambassador for sustainability and protecting the environment therefore, it is a perfect location for a Scoop Shop to be placed in what's anticipated to be the world’s most sustainable shopping centre.
