How can we help you?
Expert Consultation & Support
Strategy
All successful businesses today are defined by how strategy informs and drives the commercial, operational, legal, technology, brand, marketing and recruitment requirements. Developing a sustainable franchise network requires a multi-disciplinary, systems approach to deliver those requirements.
Technology
Implementing new technology can be daunting, that’s why we help you through the entire implementation process and provide training for you, your staff and help you design training strategies for all new franchisees and for the new staff on-boarding. Since technology will be an important part of your future franchise, it’s important to get it right.
Financial Analysis
The successful franchise is a mutually interdependent relationship founded on a value proposition that recognises the basic interconnectedness of the franchisor and the franchisee in building enterprise value for both. Financial analysis determines the perfect commercial balance in that relationship.
Implementation
The implementation of every component of your franchise program as it is developed provides the step-by-step business transformation from your current operation to a franchise network. This is about ‘doing’ – practical, hands-on work, support and training with you and your team. Our team is there as you roll out your first franchises.
Operations
Your induction, training, operational systems and ongoing support are major reasons franchisees will consider joining your franchise network. The perceived value of these in mitigating their risk of going into business is determined by how you develop, present and deliver them.
Investment & Exit Strategy
The best time to consider an exit strategy is when you are developing your business. Our multi-disciplinary team develop your investment and exit strategy, prepare the necessary commercial and legal documentation and support you throughout the investor engagement process.
International Expansion
Australian franchisors are often approached by international entrepreneurs looking for the next hot concept to launch in their region. The inverse is also often true. In either case, you need a well-devised strategy, a well-resourced capability and a clear understanding of how to achieve a profitable outcome before proceeding.
Franchise Development

Business Transformation
True Business Transformation
As most CEO’s know, Business Transformation must permeate the entire organisation to apply the changes needed to reach your goals. We drive change for your organisation across all tiers, with consultants applying innovative solutions, rapid scaling, and the skill-building required to bring effective upgrades. DC Strategy is uniquely positioned with the exact expertise required to make this happen and it has been at the core of what we do for almost 40 years.
