As we get back to business following twelve months of COVID impacts on businesses and communities across Australia, franchising has emerged at the forefront of small business recovery.
We continue to remind all our stakeholders that in many instances both franchisors and franchisees are small businesses, subject to the same economic waves and regulatory burdens that make day to day operation and profitability a challenge, especially in dealing with COVID restrictions.
