Franchise

The franchise segment is a thriving component of the Australian small business sector, employing well over 700,000 people, and contributing $128 billion to our economy.

While franchise business models are highly successful and innovative, each one is unique in its own right, and requires a specialised approach when it comes to an insurance solution.

There are numerous benefits related to being part of a franchise system for both franchisees and the franchisor, however there are still risks associated with owning and operating a franchise.

• Material loss or damage to your property
• Business interruption which affects your income stream
• Public or Products Liability claims
• Machinery Breakdown which could see substantial spoilage of stock
• Claims against management for wrongful acts including bullying, harassment or unfair dismissal
• Dishonest acts by employees – 43% of businesses never recover funds as a result of fraud (Dual, 2014).
