Exciting times for the Franchise Direct family as we continue to expand our website network. We recently launched our new Franchise Direct New Zealand website in mid-September - bringing the total number of portals under the Franchise Direct umbrella to 14. This is the second expansion of the company's franchise network in 2020, following the launch of Franchise Asia in May.
Despite its small population (4.8 million), New Zealand has limitless franchise opportunities due to its accommodating business environment and the growing embrace of franchising across the island nation. Statistics from the Franchising New Zealand Survey 2017, shows that New Zealand has one franchised unit for every 124 people.
