Franchising COVID-19 Resources

August 27, 2021 by Franchize Consultants

All of this means that we need to be realistic about the likely length and types (e.g., lockdown levels, staff absence due to isolating etc) of interruption to our businesses – and factor this into our planning and decision-making now. Early planning is especially important for franchisors, as time is like gold when it comes to the need to implement tough decisions / changes. Already, of course, many franchisors have updated and implemented ’playbooks’ from the previous lockdowns – and are already demonstrating the types of incredible support FANZ members would have seen demonstrated during all previous FANZ PAFAT (Positive Actions Franchisors Are Taking) Webinars.

A reminder of some important COVID-19 information sources during this time:

  • COVID-19 official website
  • COVID-19 financial support tool
  • COVID-19 website for businesses
  • COVID-19 financial support for businesses
  • COVID-19 Work & Income Leave Support Scheme
  • Ministry of Health Mental health resources

We also recommend strong contingency planning during this time.

In particular, what would it mean for you and your franchisees (in terms of the situation and your best ideal actions) if X, Y or Z transpired.

Also, regarding any of the above financial support programmes for business, do make sure

a) you understand your entitlements

b) only apply for those that make most practicable sense

c) you dot your i’s and t’s.

We strongly suggest you get specific accounting and legal advice as needed. To ensure you are taking the right steps for your business. Please reach out if you think we can help in anyway.

Franchising Consultants and Experienced Advisors

We are working with many franchise businesses to investigate and implement franchising. Feel free to get in touch for an initial chat or Preliminary Assessment Meeting via Zoom if you are interested in learning more about what’s involved in franchising. You can also download our How to Use the Franchise Advantage booklet here.

Check out our latest Best Practices:

  • #64 Optimising Franchisee Owner Involvement
  • #63 Planned Multi-Unit Franchising Strategy
  • #62 Complete Franchisor PESTLE Analysis

The publication of our Franchising Best Practice 500 is an initiative to help promote great franchising (and value creation) in New Zealand – for franchisors and franchisees alike. Consider buying the 40 Ideas for a Better Franchise book.

We know that adopting these practices will help benefit all stakeholders, be they franchisors, franchisees, staff, suppliers or customers. They all, in some way, contribute to sustainable and rewarding franchising.
