Australia and other parts of the world, independent knowledge about the strength and viability of new, emerging, and mature franchise systems is paramount to franchisors, franchisees, lenders, professional advisers, government, and investors.
Presently there is no recognised mechanisms or
published methodologies that systematically and comprehensively rate the efficiency of a franchise system. Maurice Roussety, a Consulting Strategist at DST Advisory and Lecturer at Griffith University argues that rating these franchise systems allows:
1) Franchisors to identify any weak points in their
system. 2) Franchisees to assess the strength of their existing or potential franchisor. 3) The valuation of goodwill of franchisee-operated businesses.
4) Lenders to identify and rate risk when lending to
franchisors or franchisees. 5) Lenders to offer better risk rated non-RMBS loans to franchisees. 6) Due diligence investigations of franchise systems engaged in mergers and acquisitions. 7) Valuation of the franchisee and franchisors business for establishing value in establishing inheritance and wills.
