Why Franchise
my business?

15 Studios in 3 States and a growing!

My journey began back in 2001 when I won a personal trainer competition at Ascot Vale in Victoria. From 2001-2009 I founded the business LTYB where we created super high standards of Personal Training and changed the lives of thousands of members. In 2009 after 200,000+ Personal Training sessions, LTYB took a big leap forward to create a Unique Group PT Model. We approached the Franchise Institute and after doing our research found them to offer the best advice at the best price. 10 years on and we are delighted with our decision. LYTB now has 10 studios in Victoria and 3 in QLD. But rather than measure our success just in the number of studios we measure our success in the growth of the brand, the success of our members and the satisfaction of our franchise partners.

Throughout the establishment of the franchise James and his team were so helpful and knowledgeable and even now a decade after working with them I know that If I ever have a question, I can call and James and he’s super helpful and always so encouraging. If you want to grow your business and you are committed to its success, then I strongly recommend franchising your business and there is simply no one better to guide you through this process than The Franchise Institute.

7 Franchises in 7 months

I’ve been in detailing and cleaning services for just over 20 years having spent the first 14 years operating the same business in the UK, before emigrating to Perth in 2012. My initial plan was to come to Perth and start a new career as an accountant. The only thing I didn’t realise was that detailing, and cleaning services was far more profitable than accountancy! On arrival in Perth, I bought myself a Holden Captiva that had a big scratch down the side, the dealer said it would need a respray – I told him I could repair it without needing to repaint. He was so impressed by my work that he became my first customer and as they say the rest is history. I built up DCS over an 8-year period and then felt it was time to expand the business. I was drawn to the franchise model because it reduced the hassles with staff and provided the added benefits of an owner operator business model. I did my research and came across The Franchise Institute, and James and Shauna were so easy to work with. They were knowledgeable, approachable and made the franchising process easy to navigate. We signed up 7 franchise partners within 7 months – so we couldn’t be happier. If you want to franchise your business cost effectively and painlessly, I highly recommend The Franchise Institute.

From One Unit to Global Investment

Before meeting James, we had been toying with the idea to franchise our business over a number of years, but it always seemed so daunting and out of reach. We met with a number of other consultants before we decided to work with James, but what made us choose The Franchise Institute was their openness and honesty. Their willingness to share really valuable insights and nuances before we had even decided to go with them. When combined with their years of local experience, we were convinced they were the real deal and the way to go. Since then, my business has grown from strength to strength and now we have investors looking to expand it globally. None of this would be possible without The Franchise Institute. James’ and his team’s depth of knowledge and positive ‘can do’ attitude really made a difference in my business and my life. James taught me to believe in myself and to persevere and now I am so proud of what I have achieved and so grateful to James and his team.

Depth of Knowledge & Approachability.

We met James at the Franchise Expo and was immediately impressed by his depth of knowledge and his approachability. He definitely stood out as different from the other franchise consultants. After shopping around, we decided to work with James and The Franchise Institute, and it was the best decision! All of his team are knowledgeable, helpful and a pleasure to work with. Since completing the franchising process, we have sold 9 franchise territories and are now expanding interstate. If you’re thinking of franchising your business then look no further than the Franchise Institute, they made our dream come true.

Before meeting James, we had been toying with the idea to franchise our business over a number of years, but it always seemed so daunting and out of reach. We met with a number of other consultants before we decided to work with James, and this has been the best decision we have made for our business so far. Now that we have finished the program with the Franchise Institute, I only wish we had started the process sooner.

I had been running my business for approximately 12 years and decided I wanted to Franchise my business model. Having no idea how to make this possible I contacted The Franchise Institute. Initially they walked me through an assessment to ascertain whether or not my business was suitable for Franchise. Following this we decided it was and they have been amazing at making my dream become a reality. James in particular was extremely resourceful and patient as he educated me on the steps involved with the process. He has always been easily contactable and has gone the extra step for me and my business. I was taught all the legal, training and procedural requirements for setting up the Franchise with ease. I highly recommend James and The Franchise Institute to any other business looking to explore franchising their business. Thanks to the team I am now confident and have developed a great Franchise business model for my business and I have franchisees in Melbourne, Queensland, Canberra and Perth is on its way too.

Because we have an environmentally friendly bin cleaning unit and had unique systems in place to maximize the revenue that could be made out of a bin cleaning services. We could not keep up with the demand, so it was time to expand. We felt that the only way forward was to have owner/operators in our business structure which lead us to franchising. James and the team at The Franchise Institute guided us with an excellent knowledge and understanding of where we are heading. We recruited our first franchisee in just under 4 weeks. If we could have changed anything, I would have contacted The Franchise Institute sooner so that it would have allowed me to set the franchise side of the business up without being so busy with the daily operations of the business.

Lawrence Dry Cleaning is the largest chain of dry cleaners in NSW with 30 locations. Established 75 years ago we currently processes 10,500 tonnes per year of hospitality linen and up to 4000 garments per day! Franchising as a model of growth interested us because we wanted our stores to be operated by a network of motivated owner operators who we knew would go the extra mile to make their business and therefore our business a success. We came across James Corne from The Franchise Institute and was immediately impressed by his experience and depth of knowledge. He took us through the franchising process step by step ensuring we understood what we were doing and importantly why. Overtime, working with James and his team, we were able to modify our franchise offering so that it now is a simple, easy to operate “dry shop”. This means that the franchisee simply need to take the orders and then the garments are dry cleaned off site in one of our centralised processing plants and returned to the franchisees store for pick up or delivery. Our business is going from strength to strength and we are very excited about our continued growth. If you are considering growing your business and you want a cost-effective model staffed by owner operators, then I highly recommend franchising through The Franchise Institute.

We have been working with James to franchise our business (Green Up Grass) here in Australia. We chose to work with James because of his knowledge, authentic personality and his proven track record himself. Basically gut feeling after interviewing a few businesses- we knew he was the right fit. The Franchise Institute provides a very WELL ROUNDED service that is enabling us to feel confident and well prepared for our future business goals. Unlike some other companies we consulted, James goes above and beyond the legalities of franchising and teaches important lessons and insites into building a successful franchise business (for both franchisors and franchisee) - built from proven solutions he developed in his own journeys and challenges as a franchise owner. So far we have been extremely satisfied with the services we are receiving from The Franchise Institute and are confident and excited for the future growth Green Up Grass across Australia.

Liz Campbell, Green Up Grass

Shauna and James have been amazing in setting up our business to franchise. They have been so thorough and worked with us over the 2020 lockdown period interstate and still managed to get everything done perfectly. Cannot recommend highly enough they are both so knowledgable and have made the entire process so easy and stress free - this is definitely not a process I would have been able to get done without them! For anyone thinking about starting on this journey I would say go for it!
