There are brands that seem to have more lives than a cat, miraculously falling over and recovering. But what often goes unnoticed is the advantage these brands enjoy - favorable rents, premium locations - at the cost of undermining existing competitors. Having experienced firsthand the impact of such brands entering retail precincts, it's clear how they can distort the market dynamics. With minimal service, questionable quality, and rock-bottom prices, they challenge established SMEs, diluting the value proposition and confusing consumers. The aftermath? Unpaid rent, super, GST, and more, leading to a cycle of reinvention. Is this what a level playing field looks like? Retail landlords invariably have a front-row seat at the administrators' party.

This is NOT #rocketscience: the ability to #evaluate a #reasonable #rent for #ONE #retail #lease is and to #explain to the #parties the #reasons why is. It has been developed over my working career by building modelling which gives a step-by-step account of why the rent ought to be one of several ways. It is extremely efficient (aka 2 - 4 works work reduced to a few hours work) and is a decision-making product using several evaluation methods. And that is why we developed our #InternationallyScalable SaaS #GEMLeaseAnalytics™. It links #businesscapital to #propertycapital perfectly. It is "For Sale" the project is way way too big for us.

To remove any doubt I believe that #IntangibleAsset #evaluation of #Lease #Rental #Values is hopelessly being ignored Internationally as an asset class. Portfolios of Leases and or individual leases to accurately match #BusinessCapital to #PropertyCapital is all but overlooked. See my post intro below. Our SaaS is For Sale. Regular re-evaluation and negotiation is also needed particularly in a changing market.

The faster your franchisees open, the quicker they’ll become profitable and hit higher revenues. 💰 And when that happens, they’ll be ready to open location two, three, and beyond. Growth isn’t just about one success—it’s about creating momentum that keeps building. 🌊 💡 Here’s how to make it happen: As a franchisor, every system you create should solve a problem once—but impact every franchisee. Whether it's an onboarding process, marketing strategy, or operational guide, doing things right at the top level makes success easier for everyone in the system. ✨ Next time you're refining a process, ask yourself: Is this scalable for all franchisees? When you create systems that benefit the whole network, you build a foundation that multiplies growth—and attracts new franchisees through validation. 🗣️

I get so many messages that start with flattering words why anybody thinks this is necessary I don’t know. “I’m really impressed with how you’ve transitioned from IT Security sales to running a deli”… yadda yadda. “I would love to connect and learn more about your business and your plans for growth! Ah right, there was I thinking that you were genuinely interested 😂😂so you want to sell me something that’s what you should be saying from the get go and stop going round the houses. Let’s me make this clear I own and run an independent food & drink business! The chances that this is the type of business that can grow even if it wanted to are tiny! Pretty much ALL small independent food and drink retailers are just looking at ways to survive. So just think about that as you scoot round your local supermarket! Every penny you’re putting into the pocket of a major corporate is a penny not going towards the survival of a small independent. You know the type of business I mean, we’re the ones everyone loves to say they have in their town/village/city. We’re the ones that make a high street interesting and different, we’re they ones you love to say are your favourite shops but rarely if ever go in. We’’re also the same shop that everyone says “what a shame that shop closed”, “it was such a lovely shop” and yet if you were to be honest you’d find it hard to remember the last time you shopped there! In fact you probably spend more in your weekly supermarket shop than you’ve ever spent in your “favourite shop” that’s why independents struggle everyone loves us, but at the same time they don’t really use us! So don’t ask me about expansion plans. Ask me what am I doing to try and make sure I’m still in business in 6 months time!

Amber Taverns looking to expand geographical reach following Epiris deal, trading ‘solid’ in 2024: james baer, chief executive of community pub operator Amber Taverns, has told Propel it will look to expand its geographical reach after being acquired by Epiris, the private equity backer of The Big Table Group, for an undisclosed sum. Amber operates 178 freehold, wet-led pubs, predominantly in the north of England, the Midlands, Scotland and Wales, and Baer said the business will now look to grow in new areas. He said: “This deal shows confidence in the pub market. It also gives us a solid platform and the capital structure to move forward and continue to develop great Amber pubs. The team at Epiris has been really engaged and really invested the time to find out what makes Amber tick. Bill Priestley [managing partner] was involved with Amber previously when he was managing director of LGV, which backed the management buyout of Amber in 2010. We’re still look to open between 15 and 20 sites a year because it’s about finding the right sites. We are clear on our site selection and Epiris has fully brought into that. What we will look to do is expand geographically and we’ve made an offer for a site on the south coast.” Amber’s portfolio is uniquely focused on the hybrid “operator-managed” business model, and with more companies adopting the format, Baer said it showed its “effectiveness and resilience”. He added: “It gives us the structure to enable us to provide customers with that great customer experience by having that head office support for the operator.” Baer said trading in 2024 has been “solid”, although the last couple of weeks have been “a bit flat as consumers seem to be a bit wary about the upcoming Budget”. He added: “We’re up on last year in terms of sales and like-for-like Ebitda.” Baer expects some increases in alcohol duty but hopes tax rises will be kept down so not to hit disposable income too hard. He said: “The British economy is a service economy now so wider retail, including hospitality, needs to feel that people can afford to go out and treat themselves from time to time.”

Acquisition are my fav thing in Business... it makes Economy grow

BG Wealth Group created two new businesses in 2021: Flame n' Bricks Pizzaria and Coach's Burger Joint. We are now selling our corporate-owned stores to anyone interested in owning a Franchise.  As per any successful business model, there is rhyme and reason to creating a new business. The WHY: 1) We created a brands 2) We trademarked the names and created the Franchise documents to hand these over seamlessly to anyone interested 3) We developed our niche and how we differentiate from others in this competitive market and most importantly.... 4) We honed the "WFIM"...the "what's in it for you" to be a part of our team. The HOW: how do we differentiate ourselves? 1) We bought buildings (that house the restaurants) and copied the McDonald's approach to business 2) Each location is in a small town in Ontario and the Franchise owners become part of the community. They participate in schools, local sports teams, and hire within the community, supporting the community in a variety of ways 3) The secret sauce is literally "The Secret Sauce" on the pizza and the food is exceptionally fabulous 4) We source local products as much as possible so we "support local" and "farm to table" freshness. Our motto is "Small town, big taste" and that says it all. And, the "WFIM": What's In It For YOU! Our corporate head office has sourced and secured all vendors, bought all the equipment and the opportunity is turnkey to take over. We support the training in the store and the ongoing marketing efforts, and the Franchisee learns from the best and takes over a location already running at full speed! This opportunity is for anyone who may want to get away from city life, become part of a wholesome community and change their lives including a successful business.
