Introduction

Thank you for your interest in our TIME FOR YOU franchise opportunity.

People from all walks of life have made TIME FOR YOU a resounding success. Working mothers, nurses, factory workers, teachers, office workers, postal workers, police and even a solicitor so why not you?

Franchisee

What is a franchise agreement ?

The ACCC web site defines a franchise agreement as follows:

”A franchise agreement is an agreement (wri�en, verbal or implied) under which:

● one party (the franchisor) grants another party (the franchisee) the right to carry on a business supplying goods or services under a specific system or marke�ng plan substan�ally determined, controlled or suggested by the franchisor or an associate of the franchisor

● the business is associated with a par�cular trademark, adver�sing or a commercial symbol owned, used, licensed or specified by the franchisor or its associate

● the franchisee is required to pay, or agree to pay an amount to the franchisor before star�ng or con�nuing the business (there are some excep�ons).”

Franchising in Australia.

Franchising is a very strong sector of the Australian economy. The sectors growth over recent years has been excellent. Set out here are the key facts about franchising, established by Griffith University on behalf of the Franchise Council of Australia in their 2014 survey.

“Griffith University is proud to endorse the ninth biennial Franchising Australia survey sponsored by the Franchise Council of Australia. Represen�ng the only systema�c data collected on the Australian franchise sector, the Franchising Australia 2014 report provides a profile of the sector as well as a source of longitudinal data gathered over the past 16 years.

Franchising Australia 2014 reveals:

• There are 1160 business format franchisors in Australia in 2014, compared with 1180 in 2012.

• There are an es�mated 79 000 units opera�ng in business format franchises, reflec�ng an increase of 8.2 percent since 2012.

• More than 460 000 people are employed directly in franchising. • Sales turnover of the en�re franchising sector was es�mated at $144

billion. • Fully 86 percent of franchise systems originated in Australia. • Some 30 percent of franchisors have entered interna�onal markets. • Only 1.5 percent of franchisees were involved in a substan�al dispute

with a franchisor over the past twelve months. • Fully 45 percent of franchise systems engage in online sales with

customers.”

What does this mean for you?

It helps to illustrate very clearly that franchising is not new or untried. It is a proven form of business ac�vity that arguably removes many of the elements of risk that are always involved in the se�ng up and opera�on of a new career and business in the cleaning industry with the backing and support needed to help you minimise your risk and achieve strong income and job sa�sfac�on while building a saleable asset and giving you financial security for you and your families future.

In essence that’s what the TIME FOR YOU franchise is all about, is helping you enter a new business.

What is my Investment?

The franchise fee is only $30,000 plus GST. You are expected to have a smartphone, laptop, iPad, printer, relevant so�ware and an ini�al sta�onary supply. You will also need to commit to a marke�ng launch program.

Your other investment is your total commitment to quality and reliable service.

We aim to be clearly be�er than any compe�tor by a�rac�ng the best people, provide the best service, and earn our franchise owners the best income.

What you could earn

As in any business opportunity there can be no guarantee of earnings. However our experience in the UK to date to date shows that you can expect a gross profit of £35,000* (around $A70,000) a�er the first year.

With our help and support, and your own commitment, by the end of year 3, you could, as many of our exis�ng UK franchisees have proven, have up to 300 residen�al clients who will earn you a gross profit of £100,000 p.a.* ($A200,000).

When we meet we will share our ideas for your poten�al earnings in a TIME FOR

YOU franchise in Australia.

Your Start Up Package.

Premier Australian research company IBISWorld says an ageing popula�on, and high and dual-income households, are helping to drive the demand for residen�al cleaning services. So can the franchise companies compete in this large and growing market? “The franchised cleaning operators segment is rising steadily and providing increased compe��on to exis�ng major players,” the report indicates.

Franchised companies have made inroads into the residen�al cleaning market, either offering general or niche services, and can boost their profits by focusing on the provision of good quality cleaning. “Franchisors can also offer clients assurance on mee�ng cleaning requirements and standards,” the IBISWorld report highlights.
