   New Zealand is a country of small businesses. Over 97% of businesses have fewer than 20 employees, and self-employment is a popular option for many. Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that franchising has flourished. Good franchises combine the focus and commitment of local operators with the systems, support and marketing of a larger brand, enabling small businesses to compete successfully with large chains. As a result, New Zealand probably has more franchise systems per capita than any other country in the world, and can offer business opportunities in a huge range of industries from business services to building, retail to education, food to beauty. Buying a franchise can be an ideal way for a new immigrant to get into business. You get a known brand, a product or service that is designed for the local market and a variety of appropriate marketing tools.
   Make no mistake, you will still have to work hard to establish your business, getting used to how things work and how people communicate in a new country is never easy, but you will have training and support to ensure your efforts will be directed into activities proven to produce results. In general, franchise systems welcome immigrants as franchisees because their energy and enthusiasm to establish them in a new country are huge positives. Immigrants, however, need to recognize that not all franchises are equal and that what suits one person may not suit another. You should, therefore, carry out proper research before committing yourself to any business opportunity.
