Why should I franchise my business?

Franchising a business offers many benefits. By joining The Local Guys, you have the opportunity to grow your business to a national scale. Franchise partners will be buying into your business, as opposed to you employing them. This means a higher standard of work, as franchise partners are wanting to grow and take pride in their business.

Can I still run my own business?

Yes! We encourage you to still run your own business in the background. However, this will need to be rebranded to The Local Guys group.

How do I earn money as a Divisional Franchise Partner?

Divisional Franchise Partners can earn money by onboarding, training and supporting Regional and Unit Franchise Partners. For every Franchise Partner you onboard, you will receive a large upfront sum. Additionally, you will also receive ongoing royalties for supporting them. You can also earn an income from your own services and clients.

I don’t know anything about franchising, can you help?

Of course! Through our experiences, we have been on both ends of the spectrum as franchisees ourselves, as well as franchisors. We understand every aspect of franchising and will pass this knowledge onto you.

Do you help find new franchise partners?

Similar to finding clients, we utilise Google Adwords and search engine optimisation to build our site traffic. In addition to these, we also advertise on Seek and other franchising sites to target those who are interested in a career change or to start their own business.

Do you help train and onboard new franchise partners?

One of the main benefits of joining a franchise is to receive ongoing support. Here at The Local Guys, you can contact us anytime during business hours to gain assistance on the onboarding process. We are there with you throughout the process. We also have our online training platform for additional assistance.

How long does the process take?

As you are franchising your existing business under The Local Guys brand, the onboarding process is dependent on the division. However, it is likely it will take between 6-8 weeks.

Do you help with marketing and sales to find clients?

Through Google Adwords and targeted search engine optimisation, we build up the traffic to our website, which ultimately brings in more clients. We also utilise the marketing fund to create targeted advertisements for your territory and surrounding suburbs. In addition to the ongoing leads you will receive from the Support Centre, you will also receive the Local Area Marketing Plan during your marketing training, which has been designed to assist you in finding your own clients.

I have heard it costs $150,000 or more to start a franchise. How much will it cost?

Yes, it can cost a lot of money to franchise your business with your own brand. Typically it will cost between $55,000 – $150,000. However with the local guys it costs only $25,000 ex. gst plus training.

Why We Started The Local Guys Group

Meet Jarrad and Stacey Goulding, the driving force behind The Local Guys Group. Here, we bring together Electrical Test and Tag, Pest Control, and Cleaning services to make business shine. Our shared passion for quality customer service and expertise across different fields led us to this.

Jarrad’s tech skills in electrical testing and tagging, and Stacey’s accounting know-how, sparked the idea for The Local Guys. We aimed for a balanced work-life dynamic while growing a family. As we expanded across New Zealand, businesses from various sectors joined us, making our family-owned enterprise thrive. This growth gave balance not only to The Local Guys but also to Jarrad, Stacey, and their three children.

Why We Started Franchising

Having owned and worked for franchises across multiple hospitality and retail sectors, Jarrad and Stacey quickly became aware of the positive and negative aspects of franchising and used this knowledge to shape The Local Guys brand. Knowing what it takes to make a franchise successful, Jarrad and Stacey wanted to bring the best of their experiences to their Franchise Partners.

Our Values
The Local Guys Group was built with the drive and dedication to see our Franchise Partners succeed. Our core values are centered around Family, Innovation, Integrity, Devotion and Passion.

Giving Back

At The Local Guys, we believe in paying it forward, one meal at a time! We understand that business is important, however, we also believe it is important to give back to those in need. Every time we complete a job for any of our clients, we donate $5 to World Vision Australia! This has been one of our practices since the beginning of The Local Guys brand and as a result we been fortunate enough to donate thousands of dollars to a wonderful cause.
