Franchise Consulting Services & Growth Model Experts for New Zealand Small Businesses

As a small business owner, you're no stranger to the challenges of scaling your company. Whether it's difficulty attracting and retaining good employees, dealing with unreliable staff and the high costs associated with them, or facing the daunting task of raising capital to expand, the path to growth is rarely straightforward.

In addition to these issues, the higher risk of direct expansion and reliance on expensive, unreliable contractors can make it hard to achieve a sustainable growth strategy. Maintaining high service standards as your business grows is another significant hurdle.

At TMF, we specialise in franchise development services tailored to help small businesses overcome these common obstacles. Our goal is to provide you with a scalable business model that ensures consistent quality and efficiency as you expand without the risks and costs typically associated with growth.

Let us help you take your business to the next level by building a growth model that turns these challenges into opportunities for long-term success.

Welcome and thanks for visiting!

  • "Seamless operation"

    Transitioning our business model to a franchise system has been a seamless operation with the guidance and resources Tereza Murray provided from the outset. Just fifteen months since launch we have created a new industry and established a national network across New Zealand that nears franchise capacity....and she's been there every step of the way helping us make it happen. Australia is the next challenge but we know with her support setting up Master Franchises will be correctly structured and systems enabled to manage this remotely in the COVID marketplace.

  • "I have no hesitation in recommending Tereza"

    Tereza has a strong, commercial understanding of franchising and developing robust, sustainable franchise systems and teams. Building a solid operational framework to support growth and performance for the business was a key focus, as was the Franchisee recruitment and on-boarding process which was successfully implemented with Tereza’s support. I have no hesitation in recommending Tereza.

  • "They have been very patient and understanding"

    As a small business owner with a growing demand for our product we decided to look at franchising our business. Not having done this before we had no idea where to start. Fortunately we came across Tereza & Steve from Tereza Murray Franchising who have been a absolute pleasure to work with from the start. They have been very patient and understanding working with myself and my wife who had no understanding about setting up a franchise. Within roughly a 12 month period we have gone from having no idea to franchising our business on a national level with 2 franchisees coming on board with in 6 months of taking our opportunity to market.We have no hesitation in recommending Tereza & Steve to any potential business looking to franchise their own business.

Franchising - It's not what you think

There is a common misconception that franchising is a rigid and over-prescribed model. The truth is the franchisor decides how the relationship works with franchise partners. You can have as little or as much control over each area of franchise operations as you want. We will provide guidance to ensure your model delivers the outcomes you are looking for, but at the end of the day, it's your business and franchising is simply the process of replicating that business model and operating systems.

Franchises are still growing in popularity

Did you know that New Zealand is the most franchised country per capita? Kiwis love working for themselves, and franchises provide a lower-risk pathway to self-employment than start-ups. Your proven business model, systems and processes, supplier relationships, and industry knowledge are valuable commodities. Talk to us about how to make all your hard work, work for you.
