Starting a business from scratch typically runs a higher risk of going under, as there are no proven systems or expert support in place. Franchise opportunities with quality brands like EmbroidMe means, you'll be in business for yourself but not by yourself.

You have a solid business model that has been proven to work. You don’t have to come up with the hiring requirements, training process, sales protocol, or any of the other details that it takes to launch and run a business. And, you'll receive comprehensive training and ongoing support.

Assuming an average level of fit-out, the total investment would be around $270,000. In addition, at least $30,000 should be allowed for working capital.

EmbroidMe also offers the option to open a “sales office” model which avoids the need to purchase production equipment and this considerably reduces the investment level.

Finance packages are available to approved applicants.
