Snap- on Tools Australia has outclassed more than 600 franchise systems to receive top honours in the 2009 Australian Financial Review’s Smart Investor annual survey.
Snap-on Tools Australia scored an amazing 89% in a rigorous testing process to take out the category of best value franchise system.
Nicholas Hudson, the National Franchise Manager of Snap-on Tools Australia & New Zealand is thrilled with the result.
“We are delighted that the Snap-on Franchise program has been selected again by the Financial Review Smart Investor magazine
survey of franchise opportunities. This is the third consecutive survey that our franchise opportunity has been recognised and particularly satisfying that we have improved our ranking each time.”.
Snap-on Tools is about to celebrate its 22nd year in Australia and its 90th birthday worldwide.
Initially carrying tools by hand to businesses in 1920s Chicago, Snap-on has grown today to nearly 5,000 mobile vans worldwide and a
range of over 19,000 different products.

‘So Far So Good’ says FCA on Government process

Steve Wright, Executive Director, Franchise Council of Australia says the Government’s recently released response to the Federal Inquiry into the Franchising Code of Conduct was ‘very positive’.

“The story that we have determined from the Government's report is that they have put their faith in franchising and rejected calls for the introduction of an explicit 'good faith negotiations' clause in the Code.
This is a very good result, Steve said..

Most in the franchising community - and many outside it - were concerned at the significant uncertainty which could flow from the inclusion of the clause.

“The FCA made its position very clear from the outset, more than 18 months ago, and argued it frankly and openly. The strength and integrity of its argument is acknowledged in this decision - even in the words used by the Federal Small Business Minister, Dr Craig Emerson, in announcing the Government response, Steve said.
