Brian Keen
Brian Keen has worked in the franchise sector for over 30 years and believes franchising offers one of the most exciting business models around for anyone looking to share their success and create real wealth and financial independence for themselves. He first saw the massive potential for franchising to create a successful business – fast – after opening and operating seven stores in just five years as a franchisee for Bedshed. With the knowledge gained there, he went on to set up Franchise Alliance, a consultancy which helped household names like Brumby’s, Ultratune, Jim’s Mowing and Donut King develop successful sales strategies and franchise systems. The Franchise Alliance expanded with offices across Australia and New Zealand and is still going strong within six capital city offices. During this time Brian and his partners used their knowledge to build up six franchise groups of their own with over 120 outlets between them. They visited Europe and the US a number of times negotiating the import of franchise systems into Australia as well as expanding some of their own franchise groups into South-East Asia and elsewhere. Based on this depth of experience, has helped many dozens of businesses to franchise successfully, increasing their profits and allowing their owners to retake control of their lives by working fewer hours. He has now brought all his knowledge together in his latest venture, How to Franchise Simply, with the aim of showing business owners how to transform a family-sized firm into a multi-million dollar asset through a unique four-step system, saving tens of thousands of dollars in consultancy fees in the process. Brian is passionate about helping people become financially secure and independently wealthy by setting up their own business, wherever they are, whatever their background. That’s why he also founded and became Chairman of MicroLoan Foundation Australia (MLFA), a charity which, to date, has provided over $750,000 in loans to impoverished women in Malawi to allow them to start their own business and improve life for themselves and those who depend on them. Originally from Uxbridge, UK, after practising as a quantity surveyor, Brian emigrated to Malawi in 1966, where he established several successful businesses, most notably a building and development company,before moving to Perth, Australia, in 1975

______________________________
In his 40 years in business, mostly in the franchise industry, Brian Keen has found, chances are small business owners are continually stressing over how difficult it is to grow a business to a level that will allow them to delegate properly and get a life back.
So Brian brought all his knowledge together in his latest venture, ‘How to Franchise Simply’, with the aim of showing business owners how to transform a family-sized firm into a multi-million dollar asset through a unique four-step system, saving tens of thousands of dollars in consultancy fees in the process. Because he works both in Australia, where he lives, and internationally, Brian’s systems apply across the globe.
A core part of this latest venture is to provide training and education about all aspects of running a franchised business. After all, most business owners really do not know what is involved in growing their businesses in this way.
And an important part of the training program are Brian’s Franchise Radio Show Interviews with experts in the franchise industry and business. These relaxed and informal ‘fireside chats’ range across every aspect and are an easy way to start to understand some of the trickier aspects of franchising. Join him as he penetrates the inner-world of franchising with the top authorities in their field. The result is invaluable information that can make a dramatic difference to your business, its short-term viability and long term asset value, ultimately adding significantly to the payback you will receive when the time comes to implement your exit strategy.
These Interviews range across every aspect and are an easy way to start to understand some of the trickier aspects.
Brian’s small business ideas are sound, based on years of practical experience in businesses like yours. Over the years he has discovered that franchising need not be difficult or expensive. These Interviews show that it is really just a matter of getting your head around the concept and then taking action step by step.
This small book is a transcription of one of the interviews:
‘Interview Nine – Planning Territories with Peter Buckingham from Spectrum Analysis’.
Introduction to Interview Nine
Planning Territories
______________________________
Many business owners with an interest in developing a franchise spend time and money researching how to find new franchisees to expand their brand. They focus on getting the right paperwork together and they think about ways to market the new franchise opportunities available. Whilst doing this, because of their understandable ignorance of the inner workings of franchising, they frequently miss huge money-making opportunities that the many nuances and ‘tweaks’ offer. And often worse, they fall for the numerous ‘tricks for new players’ which frequently lead to expensive and sometimes fatal mistakes – many of which can be avoided by seeking expert opinion.
Many of those business owners overlook the importance of planning territories. After all, if each territory doesn’t
