A franchise owner running their own business
Ready for something of your own?

Build a business. Don’t build everything from scratch.

Starting from zero means creating the brand, systems, suppliers, marketing and processes yourself. The right franchise gives you a head start.

  • An established brand
  • A proven operating model
  • Training before you open
  • Ongoing business support
  • Supplier relationships
  • A network of other operators
Find a franchise that fits me

Every business involves risk. FranchiseScope helps you research and compare opportunities before you make your own decision.

Start with your location

Start where you want to build.

You shouldn’t spend weeks researching a franchise only to discover your area isn’t part of its expansion plans. So FranchiseScope starts with location.

01

Your location

Tell us the suburb, postcode or region where you want to operate.

02

Your investment

Set a realistic range so you only see opportunities within reach, total cost, not just the advertised fee.

03

Your goals

Choose the industries and ownership models that suit how you want to work.

Independent by design

Built to help you choose. Not to push you into a sale.

We don’t take a percentage when you buy a franchise, and brands can’t pay to rank higher in organic comparisons.

No commission

Our revenue isn’t tied to you buying a particular franchise.

No pay-to-rank

Paid listings don’t change independent rankings or research.

Your details stay yours

We don’t send your enquiry to multiple brands without your permission.

Common questions

Is FranchiseScope free?

Yes, for franchise buyers. Searching, matching, building a buyer profile, comparing opportunities and enquiring are all free. We take no commission when you buy.

How does FranchiseScope know where brands are expanding?

From each franchisor's own "planning to expand" information on the ACCC Franchise Disclosure Register, plus territory details franchisors confirm when they claim their profile. Each figure is dated and attributed.

Does "expanding" mean the territory is definitely available?

Not on its own. An expansion area means the brand has reported plans to grow into that market; a verified open territory means the franchisor has confirmed a specific area is currently available. Availability changes, so always confirm with the franchisor before you rely on it.

Will franchisors receive my personal details?

Not until you choose to connect. They see what you're looking for, your budget, location and readiness, never who you are, and your details are never auctioned to several brands at once.

How much money do I need to start a franchise?

It varies enormously, from modest mobile and service franchises under $50K to large food, retail and multi-unit opportunities. Browse by investment level to see what fits your budget.

I'm a franchisor. How do I claim my profile?

Claim your FranchiseScope profile and verify your brand. Once confirmed, you can manage your information, publish recruitment opportunities and provide precise territory details.

Your business doesn’t have to start from zero.

Find an established system, a location that makes sense, and an opportunity you’re confident enough to make your own.
