Franchising is one method of adapting to this Age Shift and incorporating more flexible work practices. Unlike traditional employment franchising provides the prime opportunity to a more flexible approach to the traditional work ethics.


Enabling the mature population to be in the driving seat, enjoying the choices in life.


ABC is a franchise system, which has capitalised on the growing changes of the population and the multi billion-dollar industry.


Franchising is now the fuel for expansion of the ABC System. Franchising is massive, making it now difficult to imagine a main street, the local shopping centre, or a local council area without franchised outlets.



The continued growth will be driven by a number of factors -


- Its close association with the rapid developing industry sectors,

- Its ability to exploit and service niche markets,

- The age shift in population,

- The increasing demand for convenience and quality and the increasingly difficult business environment for independent small business operations.


Corporate downsizing and contracted-out business activities are a part of the reason employment in business services has grown so rapidly. Activities previously done within firms are now accomplished externally by other businesses that specialise in these functions; this places ABC in a prime position for future business.


The world is a sophisticated market and the increasingly mobile consumer has come to depend on and appreciate the consistent quality of franchised products and services. The ability to easily recognize a franchise guarantees that there will be no surprises or disappointments and assures that a ‘bigger back up force' exists.
