Episode description

Franchise owner journey: In search of better opportunities, Ash and her family migrated from NZ in 2014 without a business chosen. They had a lengthy 6 month wait after arrival to finally get the business they wanted.

With Ash at home with the kids, and husband running a wine cellar / liquor store business, back in NZ, trips to Australia looking at around 30 businesses was the process before narrowing to a Kwik Kopy franchise.

Now, several years later, Ash runs Kwik Kopy Camberwell, while her husband runs 2 retail based franchises of another brand - strong supporters of the franchise business model in making running a business easier!
