Fast & Fresh Franchises for 2021

Owning a franchise has countless benefits. You can profit from the franchisor's recognisable brand while essentially running your own operation. The most profitable franchises rarely fail, removing the risks typically associated with opening a brand new business.

With over 1100 franchise brands and more than 79,000 franchise units for a population of around 23 million, Australia is the most franchised nation on earth per capita.

This means that there is a franchise operating in almost every type of business category with varying levels of complexity and cost. If you're contemplating buying a franchise there's a lot of choice and a great deal to consider.

Franchises, particularly restaurants, are very popular here and while you can walk down a busy street in downtown Melbourne, Brisbane or Sydney and find a McDonald's or Subway, the top-performing franchises are those with native origins, with 86 percent of the country's most successful franchises founded in Australia.
