Do you fear franchising? 

If you’re looking for the safest way to expand or diversify a business, it’s franchising. 

Numerous people have become wealthy through franchising, and there are no financial or 

educational barriers to keep anyone from using this concept successfully. Governments 

around the world have made it possible for the average person to investigate franchising and 

predict the outcome of a franchise investment. 

But, why do so many people fear franchising when it is considered the safest way to expand or 

diversify a business? 

Of course, some franchise brands are better than others, but they are not all bad. Of all 

the franchisees, some are more profitable than others, but they are not all struggling for 

survival or even at odds with their franchisor. A little bit of investigation will show anyone 

who’s interested that there’s more good than evil in franchising. Yes, success does come 

with a price. 

Remember, familiarity is one of the reasons franchised businesses succeed. Each one that’s 

successful follows a system. The system has been crafted to meet the needs of consumers 

and ultimately to produce a profit for the person who implements the system. That’s called 

franchising. Most small business owners, including franchisees, have little expertise in 

running a business. They may have perfected a skill or a craft, but that’s not the same as 

running a business. 

Will you succeed without fear? No. You’ll be afraid from time to time. But you ought not let 

fear scare you forever from going into business without franchising! 

To your franchising success in 2016!

How Will Budget 2016 Affect 

SME and the Franchise Industry? 

By Jack Wong & Bryan Lew 

The recent Malaysian Budget 2016 on 23rd October 2015 

with the theme “Prospering the Rakyat” is the first budget 

under the 11th Malaysian Plan and was announced by our 

Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak. It sees the increase 

of RM3.2 million in our estimated revenue of RM225.7 million 

in Budget 2016 compared to last year. As for the expenditure, 

the budget allocates a total of RM267.2 billion compared with 

the revised RM260.7 billion in 2015. Of this amount, RM215.2 

billion is for Operating Expenditure and RM52 billion for 

Development Expenditure. 

For all intents and purposes, it is a budget where the economic 

sector is focusing carefully hoping that there will be some 

relief for them especially the SMEs and most importantly, how 

to expand their business in this challenging wide arena. The 

economic sector receive the highest share of RM30.1 billion 

from the Development Expenditure of RM52 billion and the 

Budget is said to premise on striking a balance between the 

Capital Economy and People Economy. 

It is well understood based on the current slow moving economy 

due to the low spending of consumer in the past few months up 

to now coupled with the current weakened ringgit together with 

the recent implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST) on 

this April 2015, the Budget is hoping to strengthen back the 

economy and encouraging the SMEs to grow intensively. The 

budget acknowledges that the SMEs indeed plays an important 

role in developing business and the Government is expecting the 

GDP growth rate from the SMEs to be at 41% by 2020. Therefore, 

five initiatives have been introduced and will be undertaken: 

6 Franchise Asia • 2016 Vol 29


First 

Second 

Third 

Fourth 

Fifth 

Provide an additional RM1 billion for the Shariah-compliant SME Financing Scheme until 31 

December 2017 with the Government subsidising 2% of the financing profit rate; 

Allocate RM107 million for the SME 

Blueprint to provide funds for entities 

at various stages of business 

development; 

Allocate RM60 million for the Entrepreneurs Acceleration Scheme, and SME Capacity and 

Capability Enhancement Scheme; 

Establish a RM200 million SME Technology Transformation Fund under the SME Bank to 

provide soft loans at 4%; and 

RM18 million to expand the Small Retailer Transformation Programme (TUKAR) and 

Automotive Workshop Modernisation (ATOM) projects. 

Apart from the five initiatives, there are a few points worth to 

take note from the Budget 2016. It seems that the budget 

focuses a lot on improving the infrastructure and transportation 

especially in the capital of Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Klang 

area. Reducing traffic congestion, improving transportation 

facilities, possibility of constructing a coastal highway, and 

upgrading of airports can be seen as one of the key point to 

ease the current heavily congested capital city and to ensure the 

economy to grow rapidly by encouraging SMEs and well-known 

brand chain franchise to setup more businesses in the 

capital city. 

To benefit further of the current ringgit currency and in efforts 

to attract more tourists, 100% income tax exemption on 

statutory income for tour operators will be extended from year 

of assessment 2016 until 2018. These are certainly good news 

to the tour operators and hopefully by 2016 the retailers will 

recover from the recent declination of purchasing power of 

Malaysian’s consumers due to the recent toll hikes and a few 

price increased. 

SMEs and the local franchise industry must try to keep their cost 

checked to avoid any possible price increase unless necessary, 

to keep the consumer from leaving. Selling of local Malaysian 

products are encouraged to avoid any increased of cost due to 

importation of goods and services as these will attract higher 

GST due to the current weakened Ringgit. Proper planning of 

cost management and cash flow management are extremely 

important to maintain the businesses. 

Retailers are seen to be the main focus here to ensure 

more tourist are attracted to Malaysia as the Government is 

targeting 30.5 million tourists which expected to contribute 

RM103 billion to the economy. Franchisee should take this 

opportunity to expand their brand to strengthen their platform 

by influencing the buying power of the tourists before tackling 

overseas franchise. To facilitate the tourists visiting Malaysia, the 

Government will implement E-Visa by mid-2016. 

Franchise Asia • 2016 Vol 29

With GST implemented, SMEs and the local franchise industry 

have been advised to expand by exploring into the possibilities 

of exporting their products or services into international market. 

As exporting will be charged 0% in terms of GST and the current 

level of Malaysian currency, it is good news that a sum of RM235 

million will be allocated to MATRADE for 1Malaysia Promotion 

Programme; Services Export Fund and Export Promotion Fund. 

The SMEs are encourage to tackle the China market and the 

Bank Negara will be providing the Ringgit-Renminbi credit swap 

facility for local banks in order to diversify the use of foreign 

currency in trade transactions. 

In another separate matter, local SMEs have to take this 

revised provision of penalty seriously in order to avoid possible 

penalisation by the authorities. With the current revision of 

penalty of non-filing of tax return Form C, there is an extension 

from Budget 2015 which was RM200 – RM20,000 penalty 

on offender to Budget 2016 which is RM200 – RM20,000 for 

first year non submission and RM1,000 – RM20,000 for nonsubmission 

of more than two years. Apart from that, initially there 

is no penalty for disclosing wrong info in tax return Form C but 

with the recent proposal we will be seeing a penalty of RM200 – 

RM20,000 coming into operation of the Act. 

In this challenging times for the SMEs and the local franchise 

industry, Cheng & Co have been waiting to see the business 

owners to grow not only in Malaysia but internationally and 

with the recent implementation of GST this year, it forced the 

businesses to look for opportunities beyond the bad times and 

to move forward. We know in these desperate times, proper 

guidance and professional advice must be provided, Cheng 

& Co as one of the largest home grown Accounting Firm in 

Malaysia are able to understand the needs and the uncertainties 

especially GST, faced by the business owners especially SMEs 

and the franchise industry on how to further strengthen and 

expand their business. 

Currently, SMEs are eligible to claim income tax exemption of 

10% or 15% of the value of increase in exports and to further 

increase exports, SMEs now are given flexibility to comply with 

the value-add condition that is from 30% to 20% and from 50% to 

40% for manufactured products. The Budget is giving flexibility for 

years of assessment 2016 to 2018. 

With the current market flowing towards an increasingly 

liberalized global market, it requires Malaysian SMEs to move 

beyond national boundaries. We will be seeing soon enough 

where the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) will take place in the 

near future. SMEs and the local franchise industry should take 

this opportunity and prepared themselves to utilize the market 

access opportunity as soon as possible.

Developing 

a Good 

Branding 

Strategy 

for Your 

Franchise 

Business 

By Gary Loh of Purpleclay Consulting Pte. 

There are various measures on what 

constitute successful franchises. 

Measures may include: 

• Demand for the Franchise Brand; 

• Success of Existing Franchisees; or 

• Overall Brand Valuation 

In this article, we shall use brand 

valuation as a proxy for successful 

franchises. Taking reference from 

millwardbrown.com and Brand Finance, 

the most successful global franchise 

brands are (in terms of brand valuation) 

McDonalds (USD 86.7 billion), 

Starbucks (USD 25.7 billion) and 

Subway (USD 21.0 billion). 

So what exactly makes these three 

global brands the most successful global 

franchise brands? 

McDonald’s 

From an external point of view, many 

observers and analysts attribute the 

success of McDonald’s to the following 

reasons: 

• Great Operating Model (Consistency) 

- McDonald’s has one of the most sound 

and operationally solid business platforms 

in the world regardless of industry. 

• Collaborative Relationships with 

Franchisees (Innovation) - McDonald’s 

has one of the most synergistic working 

relationships with their franchisees in the 

franchise industry. The Breakfast Menu, 

Fillet-O-Fish, Big Mac, Apple Pie, Egg 

McMuffin, McFlurry have all come from 

franchisee’ suggestions. 



• Brand Development (Audience 

Knowledge & Exposure) - McDonald’s 

spends over one billion dollars per 

year on brand development and 

advertising. This brand development is 

what has fueled the growth of not only 

the franchise system, but each of the 

operating units themselves. 

• Financial Management - 

McDonald’s owes the real estate 

that the franchisee’s operate on, the 

McDonald’s system became one of the 

largest land owners in the world in a 

very short time period. 

• Vendor Relationships - Coca-Cola is 

the most prominent of the vendors, but 

each of the supplier’s partners play a 

critical role in the successful expansion 

of the franchise. 

However, from an internal point of 

view, McDonald’s success hinge on the 

following critical factors: 

• Focusing on Offering the Best Value 

(Product) - McDonald’s spent several 

years experimenting with high-end 

items like Angus beef burgers and 

Chicken Selects. By focusing on this, 

McDonald’s ignored one of its biggest 

strengths. CEO Don Thompson is 

luring back cash-strapped customers 

with low-priced offerings like the 

Jalapeno McDouble and Buffalo Ranch 

McChicken in USA. 

• Focusing on Customer Service 

(Service) - McDonald’s drive-thru 

wait times have gotten worse over 

the years, in-part because of an 

increasingly complex menu. The CEO 

acknowledged this problem and said 

that the company is sending corporate 

representatives in for a “service 

reset,” which include adding more 

workers and assigning new tasks 

to existing ones. Company is also 

remodelling European kitchens for 

faster food assembly. 

• Focusing on Simplicity - McDonald’s 

menu has grown 70% since 2007. 

The new menu items are a burden on 

employees, and have helped contribute 

to long wait times. Franchisees are 

also angry about the overloaded 

menu, saying that the extra ingredients 

and equipment are costing them 

money. Company is streamlining 

their merchandising menu board 

and product offerings and in addition 

to making it easier for customer to 

order their favourite products, aimed 

at reducing complexity which in turn 

should enhance accuracy and speed 

of service. 

• Focusing on Marketing (Outreach) - 

many view McDonald’s as unhealthy 

junk food. In order to improve 

public perception of the company, 

McDonald’s is doing a global audit of 

the marketing department. In January 

2015, Company will move from a 

philosophy of “billions served” -- a line 

featured on the chains’ marquees 

-- to “billions heard.” On various social 

media platforms, McDonald’s will 

continue to actively listen to customer 

feedback and keep the lines of 

communication open. 

Starbucks 

From an external point of view, many 

observers and analysts attribute the 

success of Starbucks to the following 

reasons: 

• Right Market Segmentation - 

Company has stayed with the 

upper-scale of the coffee market, 

competing on comfort rather than 

convenience, which is the case with 

its closest competitors - McDonald’s 

and Dunkin Donuts. 

• Execution - Company continues to 

focus on its original product bundle 

that includes good coffee, quality 

service, and a nice environment to 

hang around. 

• Superb Leadership - Company founder 

Howard Schultz, who continues to 

come up with innovative products 

to expand the company’s product 

portfolio, leads Starbucks. 

These reasons can be seen in the market 

entry and engagement of Starbucks in 

China. As is the case with the Japanese, 

Chinese people live as extended families 

in small houses. This means that there is 

a strong demand for Starbucks as a “third 

place”. Instead of trying to force onto the 

market the same products that work in 

the U.S., such as whip cream-covered 

frozen coffee concoctions, Starbucks 

developed flavours, such as green teaflavoured 

coffee drinks, that appeal to 

local tastes. Rather than pushing take-out 

orders, Starbucks adapted to Chinese 

local consumer wants and promoted dinein 

service. 


11


While this means that revenue per 

square meter is less than in the U.S, 

Starbucks offset the relative lack of 

revenue in China’s outlets by positioning 

the company and its products as 

aspirational purchases. However, the 

average coffee sold in China is far more 

expensive than in the U.S. Starbuck’s 

high pricing strategy of specialty drinks 

allows it to have its Chinese outlets be 

more profitable per store in China despite 

the lower sales volume. 

Through smart positioning, it did not 

use any advertising and promotions 

that could be perceived by the Chinese 

as a threat to their tea-drinking culture. 

Instead, it focused on selecting highvisibility 

and high-traffic locations to 

project its brand image. 

as brand ambassadors to help establish 

the Starbucks culture in new locations 

and ensure that service at each local 

store meets their global standards. 

In China, Starbucks partner locally to 

address the complexity of the Chinese 

market, Starbucks partnered with three 

regional partners as part of its expansion 

plans. They understand the meaning of 

long term commitment and have done 

an excellent job in recruiting and training 

its employees. This is a win-win strategy 

because employees are at the heart of 

delivering the “Starbucks Experience” to 

customers. They are the best marketing 

ambassadors for the company. 

While this means that revenue per square 

meter is less than in the U.S. (average 

revenue per outlet in China is one third to 

two thirds of those in the U.S.), Starbucks 

offset the relative lack of revenue 

in China’s outlets by positioning the 

company and its products as aspirational 

purchases. The average coffee sold in 

China is far more expensive than in the 

U.S. Carrying a Starbucks cup is seen as 

a status symbol, a way to demonstrate 

sophistication and the capability to afford 

a personal luxury for the up-and-coming 

middle class in China. Starbuck’s high 

pricing strategy of specialty drinks allows 

it to have its Chinese outlets be more 

profitable per store in China despite the 

lower sales volume. Overall in Asia, its 

operating margins are 34.6% in 2011 

versus 21.8% in the United States. 

So What Do Successful Brands Have 

in Common? 

Consistency - When consumers come 

back to a business for repeat sales, 

they usually expect to receive the same 

level of quality as they did the first time. 

No one wants to deal with a company 

they can’t rely on for consistency. With 

so many industries being saturated 

with competitors, inconsistency is often 

enough of a reason for consumers to 

take their business elsewhere. That’s 

why it’s so important to adhere to a 

certain quality standard with a product or 

service e.g. McDonald’s. 

Starbucks also believe in branding 

themselves globally via maintaining brand 

integrity. One of Starbucks’ best practices 

is to send their best baristas from 

established markets to new markets and 

train new employees. These baristas act 



Leadership - Just like any thriving 

community or sports team, there’s 

typically an influential leader behind 

every successful brand. To coordinate 

the efforts of team members and guide 

a strategic vision for a brand, someone 

has to step up and steer the ship. Usually, 

they are also expert motivators and know 

how to maximize the strengths of different 

team members. 

Passion - While it’s certainly possible to 

build a brand in the short-term without 

passion, it’s almost impossible to sustain 

it in the long run. When you examine 

massively successful people like Steve 

Jobs, they all have a serious passion that 

keeps propelling them to work hard and 

continually deliver greatness. Consumers 

often become just as enthusiastic about 

a product or service, leading to word of 

mouth advertising and referrals. Passion 

also helps businesses persevere through 

inevitable setbacks. 

Uniqueness - Establishing a brand identity 

requires something distinctive. Creating 

an identity within a niche doesn’t demand 

a revolutionary idea. It simply needs to 

have one special thing that separates it 

from the competition. 

Competitiveness - Gaining an edge in 

today’s business world isn’t easy. For a 

brand to make a name for itself, team 

members should thrive on competition 

and constantly strive to improve. When 

it comes to the major players in any 

industry, none simply sit back and hope 

that their consumers will do the work 

for them. Instead, they tend to be the 

movers and shakers who work tirelessly 

toward building and optimizing their 

brand, going above and beyond consumer 

expectations. The end result tends to be 

a brand that is continually on the cutting 

edge of its industry. 

Audience Knowledge - The best 

brands have a thorough understanding 

of the demographics of their target 

market, what their interests are, and 

how they communicate e.g. Starbucks. 

Understanding the target market is critical 

because it provides direction for the tone 

and reach of a marketing campaign, along 

with the overall identity of a brand, while 

helping to create a connection between a 

business and its audience. 

Exposure - Another big part of being 

recognized as a distinctive, successful 

brand is the ability to reach consumers 

through multiple channels. However, the 

Internet and social media have narrowed 

the gap between small companies and 

large ones. By developing a presence on 

networks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn 

and Google+, anyone is able to reach 

almost any consumer. 

In conclusion, today’s franchisees have 

access to greater amounts of information 

faster than ever before. With pervasive 

social media tools and the current 

trend of web and video blogging, brand 

managers are met with an ever increasing 

number of threats to maintaining their 

brand’s image and credibility. This is 

particularly challenging for franchising 

companies. Franchisor wrestles with 

the balancing act of protecting their 

brands while supporting the creative and 

entrepreneurial spirit of their franchisees. 

This universal challenge exists, in large 

part, because of the very nature of the 

franchising model and its inherently 

competing characteristics.

10 Most Important Aspects 

When Buying A Franchise 

Finding the right franchise can be a tough task especially for a newcomer to the industry. Several factors 

have to be carefully considered before making this significant long term investment. Here are the ten 

most important aspects to be looked into before becoming a franchisee: 



How do you know when you have found the right 

franchise for you? 

1. Growth potential in the market 

The concept should have a sustainable growth potential in the 

market at a local, national and international level. The analysis 

or market research for this should be provided by the franchisor. 

However, it is equally important to conduct a separate research 

about the market growth and potential future competition, 

especially at the local level, by gathering information from the 

web, family and friends. Ensure that the concept is suited to 

the locale targeted for franchise business, even if it has been 

successful in some other part of the country or state. 

4. Marketing and advertising support 

The marketing needs have to be understood in detail. Some of 

the aspects to be considered are: 

• What are the type of marketing, sales building, advertising 

programmes and resources provided by the franchisor? 

• Is the franchisor responsible for ensuring that the marketing 

and promotional campaigns are more effective than those of 

the competitors? 

• Does the franchisor leverage the power of online marketing 

and social media? 

• Would there be a monthly deduction towards a separate 

marketing fund managed by the franchisor? How is the fund 

managed? What is ROI for the fund? 

2. Controlled growth of the franchise network 

Analyse the nature of growth sustained in previous years. An 

incremental growth in the number of franchise units is a good 

indicator of future profitable growth. Also, the more the number 

of units, the greater the brand awareness among the customers. 

Be cautious if the past records show rapid or exponential growth. 

Dig deeper into the franchisor’s recruiting or selling approach 

and ability to support a rapidly growing network of fledgling 

businesses. 

3. Ongoing franchisor support 

Ensure that the franchisor provides comprehensive training, 

operations and business building support to help get the 

franchise established and to keep it sustainable and profitable. 

The franchisor should also be actively involved in keeping 

the business at the cutting edge of product development, 

management approach, and compliance. 

5. Satisfied and enthused franchisees 

Talking to the past and current franchisees will help in 

understanding the challenges involved in the franchise business 

and issues to be tackled. It is important to take the responses 

with a pinch of salt as not all franchisee businesses can be 

expected to be equally successful. But, if the predominant 

opinion is negative, then it might be better to not enter the 

business at all. 


15


6. Potential for sustainable profit 

Try to obtain the average earnings information in a Financial 

Information Disclosure Document from the franchisor. It is also a 

good idea to talk to the existing franchisees about their financial 

performance. Review the figures with an accountant and evaluate 

the potential performance that can be achieved in the locality 

chosen for business. 

8. The franchisor’s financial standing 

While reviewing the franchisor’s historical financial performance 

figures, ensure that the past and current accounting practices 

are sound and financially 

robust so as to support the 

growth of their business and 

ultimately the growth of the 

franchisees under them. 

9. Franchisor behaviour - 

Integrity, transparency 

& honesty 

The franchisor’s behaviour 

while responding to questions about profitability, sustainability 

and other important matters is a good indication of the support 

that can be expected at a later stage while running the business. 

Make sure the requests for information are responded to in a 

clear and speedy manner, with valid responses. Any grey areas, 

omissions, suspicious activity or lack of transparency is a 

red flag. 

7. A reputable management team 

Be familiar with the management team of the franchisor and 

try to establish a rapport with them, as this working relationship 

will prove to be critical after starting the franchise. Look at the 

company’s past, its founders or master franchisees and their 

business acumen. Find out how long the company has been 

franchising. 

10. A substantial system 

A strong and robust system will provide the franchisees with 

all of the operations systems, software, training programmes, 

equipment (in some cases) and monitoring tools to establish a 

sound business. Ensure all of this is in place. Make sure that a 

strong and fair franchise agreement is put together, so that it 

not only protects the brand and franchisor, but also providesthe 

business support, compliance protection, brand and product 

development that will help grow a sustainable business. It 

is important to review the agreement with a solicitor with 

franchise experience.

Making Eye 

Level the 

Choice In 

Self-Directed 

Learning 

& Blended 

Learning 

In essence, Eye Level is 

based on an educational 

principle where students 

learn at their own pace. 

And when a teacher 

understands the learning 

needs of a student, 

the teaching are most 

effective. As a leading 

provider in supplemental 

education for Math, 

English, Eye Level learning 

centers strive to teach and 

tutor children ages 3-16 in 

basic learning skills. 

One Eye Level Franchisee who has 

made a name under the Eye Level 

banner within just one year of 

operation is Ms Satine Lim of Eye 

Level Subang Bestari branch. 


Interview 

Why Eye Level Franchise? 

When I was younger, I wanted to become my own boss or a business 

owner. I wished to be involved in something that can bring goodwill 

to our society. With that aim, I ventured into financial consulting for 

the past 10 years to educate people about asset protection, family 

protection and the importance of saving. 

As I grew older, got married and have my own children, I became 

interested on children related business. My cousins were with 

Eye Level since 2006. Through them, I could see improvement in 

their math skills. Not only that, they also possess a very positive 

attitude in problem solving. When I was exploring children related 

business, Eye Level was the first in my mind. I love children and I 

believe every child deserves a bright future. 

Education is the main key for children to achieve their goals and to 

be able to contribute back to the world. With a proven education 

system and market experience in Eye Level, I believe I could obtain 

guidance to run my own business although I did not have any 

experience in running a children enrichment center. 

What I like most about being an Eye Level franchisee is the simple, 

easy and effective business system. I have no doubt on the 

effectiveness of Eye Level programs. After I attended the Eye Level 

Business Orientation, I was amazed with the successful franchisees 

in Malaysia. They have been the proven role models to me. 

How Has Eye Level Supported In Your 

Franchise Route? 

In the first few months, I think the major challenges were how to 

promote my center to my area and how to spread the word that a 

good learning system is available in my area. I hung banners and 

distributed flyers. As a result, I received positive response from the 

parents of my area. 

The possibility of having 100, 200 or even 300 students is possible. 

Eye Level provides professional advice from setting up the center 

to center marketing and operations. Trainings are ongoing and 

they have been useful in equipping new franchisee as a successful 

entrepreneur as well as a center instructor. All I need to do is just 

attend the trainings and learn as much as I can to implement the 

ideas and advice is given to run my center fruitfully. 

I am touched with the support that the Eye Level HQ has shown 

to me. They engage themselves in every center related issue. We 

have our own assigned Area Manager, routine meetings and the 

Eye Level family web portal to stay in touch with one another. 

How You Became A Successful Eye Level 

Franchisee? 

I am the key to making my center successful and to ensure more 

children are reaping the benefits of Eye Level programs. With the 

company’s direction towards the Self-Directed Learning concept 

and Blended Learning system, I strongly believe that my center will 

be the first choice for parents in my area. What sets me apart from 

other franchisees is that my center’s constant monitoring on our 

students’ progress and ongoing consultation with parents. 

An essential tip to be a successful Eye Level franchisee is one has 

to be fully committed in monitoring the existing and new students. 

Of course, quality instructors make a center flourish too. Lastly, 

always be positive and remember that you are “The Key” to a 

successful mindset. 

How to Become An Eye Level Franchisee? 

Anyone can be a franchise business owner. I always put myself in a 

child’s shoes when I am in class with my students. Think like them, 

feel like them. Be fun, friendly and energetic to the students. When 

it comes to parents, I will be the key person to communicate with 

them on their children’s behaviour in class and learning progress. 

To those who are interested to take up the Eye Level franchise 

business, do not say “Yes” or “No” until you have attended the 

Eye Level Business Orientation conducted by Daekyo Malaysia. Be 

open-minded and obtain a full understanding on the business.

young minds to excel academically in Math and English. Internationally

Interview 

Emergence of New Industries 

in Singapore’s Franchising 

and Licensing Ecosystem 

An Interview with Donna Lee, Chair, FLA Singapore 

(L-R) Donna Lee, Chair, FLA (Singapore), Mr. Robert Leong, Past Chairman & Advisor, FLA and Mr. Andrew Tjioe, Vice-Chairman, FLA on the 

Opening Ceremony of FLA2015. 

“The 2015 FLA Awards not only showcases success stories in the industry but also 

recognises outstanding achievers,” said Donna Lee, Chair, FLA (Singapore) during the 

FLA awards ceremony held on 29 Oct last year. 

“The industry is expanding its reach and we are extremely pleased to see players in 

newer industries enter the franchising and licensing scene. As the industry continues to 

grow, we look forward to working with more businesses to help them successfully expand 

across markets and the region.” 


Interview 

Can you tell us reasons for this growth in 

unconventional sectors in the franchising 

and licensing industry 

The ease of information and many alternative forms of 

communication are playing an important role in the growth of 

all business sectors around the world, and the franchising and 

licensing industry is no exception. 

Nowadays, new and existing business owners have already made 

it a norm to constantly embark on new innovations. They are 

more open to change management and the realisation of having 

better documentation of standard operating procedures in their 

current business. They have started to realise that franchising 

and licensing could be another option for them to expand their 

businesses and are more willing to explore and invest in this 

business model. While the Education and F&B sectors remain 

strong, other unconventional sectors are also gaining momentum 

in luring more potential franchisees and investors into their 

respective sectors. 

this line of work. There will be an increase in the number of new 

and trendy brands coming into market, while long-time players 

have to reinvent or innovate to keep up with market expectations. 

Share with us some insight into the 

franchising and licensing landscape in 

Singapore, and where it is headed. 

We all know for a fact that the F&B sector in the franchising 

landscape in Singapore has always been strong. The Education 

sector continues to increase in momentum, especially as the 

demand for this sector has gained more interest in recent years. 

The Healthcare, Lifestyle and Property industries are some other 

sectors that are also moving up the ladder as well. In general, 

potential franchisees and investors are more open to considering 

franchises and licenses from various sectors. They are also more 

knowledgeable about utilising this type of business model for 

expansion, both locally and internationally. 

How is this stimulating the franchising 

and licensing landscape? 

We will see more companies from different industries considering 

franchising and licensing as another additional business model. 

Current franchisors or franchisees will also go into other similar, or 

even unconventional sectors – mainly to diversify their business. 

Furthermore, we will see more people being trained and educating 

themselves on franchising and licensing to improve or embark in 

The Singapore government has always been supportive of 

different brands and companies coming into the country to set up 

their businesses. Coupled with the presence of the Franchising 

and Licensing Association (Singapore) which supports members 

in their franchising and licensing journey, Singapore is the perfect 

place for overseas concepts to begin their franchising and 

licensing expansion plans in the region by having Singapore as 

their Asia headquarters.

Interview 

Dancing Crab – 

Grooving to the Top! 

Dancing Crab, a Louisiana-style eatery, was crowned the overall winner in the 

‘Promising Franchisor of the Year’ category in the recent FLA awards 2015. 

Within one short year, Dancing Crab has expanded to five locations, including 

Tokyo, Osaka, Sumatra, with an outlet in Australia scheduled to open in 2016. 

Said Norman Hartono, General Manager of Dancing Crab, “Winning the overall 

‘Promising Franchisor of the Year’ award was unexpected and it is a huge 

encouragement to know that we are heading in the right direction. When I 

began in this line, I did not know anything about franchising and licensing at all, 

but have FLA to thank for providing me with invaluable lessons to kick-start this 

journey. My advice to anyone looking to develop his or her brand into a franchise 

is to not give up. Singapore is a tough market but continue persevering and you 

can go anywhere in the world.” 

Franchise Asia had more questions for Norman Hartono in this interview. 


Interview 

Can you name some of the factors that 

contributed to Dancing Crab’s exciting 

growth? 

Some factors that have contributed to the growth of Dancing 

Crab’s brand could be attributed to our unique franchise model 

as well as the support of a central kitchen. 

Unlike other franchise models that require ingredients and core 

items to be produced and purchased from the main franchisor, 

we tailor each outlet to suit the local food climate and use local 

ingredients to maintain the freshness and sustainability of both 

the food and business of our franchisees. Locally in Singapore, 

we have the support of a central kitchen that produces our core 

selling items to maintain food consistency and to help ease our 

manpower needs. 

How does Dancing Crab stand out from 

the competitors? 

Although the eating style of the Cajun seafood concept is already 

unique on its own, we still treat ourselves as a serious restaurant 

where food quality and service is paramount over everything 

else. That is why every outlet sells only the freshest seafood 

as well as authentic Cajun/Creole favorites such as gumbo, 

jambalaya and po’ boys, amongst others, that stand up to those 

found in New Orleans. 

What are some of the setbacks and 

challenges faced by Dancing Crab when 

starting out in franchising? And how did 

you overcome them? 

One challenge we faced during the starting phases of franchising 

Dancing Crab was to create scalability for the brand and the 

product of Dancing Crab. We tried to mass produce our core 

products, but the quality was not up to our standards. As a result, 

we decided to tailor each franchise by using the local ingredients 

and produce available from our franchisees to create the exact 

same taste found in any Dancing Crab outlet in the world. 

If you had to start over, would you do 

anything differently? 

No, I would not. 

What is in the pipeline for Dancing Crab? 

Next in the pipeline would be for us to expand the brand further 

into more countries, as well as to help develop our current 

overseas partners into master franchisees where they are able to 

independently take on and expand within their respective regions. 

What would your advice be for someone 

starting off in the franchise business? 

Do not ever compromise on the core concept of your business, 

keep evolving your brand and keep it simple to increase the 

scalability of your franchise.

The Concept Confectionists - 

Handmade Candy 

Possession of a sweet tooth does not always correlate 

with healthier eating, but UK confectionery retailer Spun 

Candy has bridged the gap with its vegetarian, gluten-free 

candies which use only natural fruit flavours and are created in 

an in-store kitchen. It’s proven a hit with the public and, notably, 

the corporate world with commissions from Virgin Atlantic, Ted 

Baker, BMW Mini and Hearst Magazines. 

The handmade nature of the candy is central to the brand 

proposition. Customers are engaged by the theatrical 

experience of seeing the candy made in-store. “Every one of 

our customers can come in-store and explore their senses 

with our delicious candy,” says the company. “They can watch 

the magic as we create names, designs and logos within our 

small bite size pieces of rock candy or create candy wonders of 

flowers and toffee.” 

While the store provides a suitable for all age groups retail 

experience and bedrock for the business, growth is explored 

through wholesale to premium high-end retailers, high profit 

margin catering for corporate events, e-commerce through online 

stores and in-store masterclass experiences enabling customers 

to create their own confectioneries. 

The company is looking to explore new countries in franchise 

partnership with truly creative business people with retail, 

hospitality or restaurant operation experience and strong 

interpersonal skills who can develop a business beyond retail to 

exploit the additional revenues available to the concept. 

“We are not just a retailer and manufacturer,” adds the company. 

“We offer a unique and bespoke service that targets ABC1 

demographics with a target age group of 5 years old to 85 years 

old. Our core customers are 25-45 year old females with high

The franchise business in ASEAN countries (ASEAN Economic 

Community) is currently expanding expeditiously, with several 

brands increasing branches in their home countries and others 

spreading their wings to foreign countries including those in 

ASEAN and the Middle East.

operations are many including Secret Recipe with over 30 

branches, Global Art & Creative (an educational brand) with 

more than 60 branches, the bakery brand Bapple Donut &

Thailand have set up shops in Malaysia, such as BBQ Plaza 

(food), Black Canyon (coffee and food), Coca Suki (food), Mango 

Tree (food), Smart Brain (education), Doichang (coffee), etc. 

Furthermore, many other franchise brands have shown 

tremendous interest in opening the market and finding 

investors in Malaysia, including Smart Brain (education), Chao 

Doi (coffee and bubble tea), GFA (coffee and bakery), The 

Waffle (waffle), N&B (crepe), Hokkaido (dairy products), etc., all 

of which have been successful domestically and strong enough

Is franchising for you? 

What you should consider when investing 

in a franchise business 

By Troy Franklin, COO - World Franchise Associates (South East Asia) 

Before you consider investing in a franchise business you 

should understand the concept of franchising and you should 

understand the brand that you are considering investing in and 

the people behind it. 

In simple terms franchising is just a method of doing business, a 

method of marketing products and services which is now being 

used across an ever growing variety of industries and businesses. 

Although most people credit the invention of franchising to 

American commerce the word “franchise” is derived from the 

French word “franchir”, which means “to be free – exempt from 

servitude” which is appropriate because franchising offers you 

the freedom to own and operate your own business. In any 

event franchising in this millennium has no nationality, religion, 

race, colour or creed and the application of the franchise 

business model has been adopted worldwide. 

In a franchise business relationship the brand owner is the 

franchisor and the party that owns the right to the tradename, 

trademarks and intellectual property of the business and you 

as the franchisee are the party that is granted the right to use 

the trademarks and intellectual property of business for a 

predetermined period of time and in a predetermined location 

or geographical area. 

In its ideal state, a franchise is the “marriage” of an 

entrepreneurial company with a proven business system and 

a hard-working, local independent business owner willing to 

follow that proven system. The “marriage” is a contractual 

relationship spelled out in a written franchise agreement which 

details the rights and obligations of both parties. 

There are various types of franchise agreements depending 

on the brand, the nature of the franchise arrangement and the 

development and geographical scope of the arrangement. The 

most common types of franchise agreements are the single 

unit/business franchise agreement, a multi- unit/business 

franchise agreement typically called an area developer 

agreement and a multi- unit/business franchise agreement 

that allows for 2 tiers of franchising typically called a master 

franchise agreement. 



When looking at the most successful franchise brands you can 

see that most share common traits and characteristic and most 

of them have identified, invested in and maintain the following: 

• Excellent franchisees 

• An experienced, energetic & focused management team 

• Effective manuals and “operating” tools 

• Effective training programs 

• Strong leadership 

• Outstanding franchisor/franchisee relationships 

• A sound business and financial plan 

• A customer (guest) focused attitude 

When you consider investing in a franchise business keep in 

mind that franchising is a growth strategy and not a survival 

strategy. If you determine that the brand you are talking 

to needs to franchise just to stay afloat you should look 

elsewhere for franchise opportunities as the brand needs to 

re-examine its competitiveness and the fundamentals of its 

business. Some key reasons for brands to use a franchise 

developmentmodel include: 

• Accelerating their expansion and market penetration 

• Minimizing their contingent liabilities 

• Minimizing their management procurement challenges 

• Reducing the daily challenges of direct management 

• Generating income based on store openings and recurring 

income from gross sales 

• Reaching target consumers more effectively 

• Improving efficiencies and economies of scale 

• Generating supplemental income from products 

and services 

• Capitalizing on advertising pooling potential 

You should also carefully consider these 10 essential issues 

when you evaluate a franchise business: 

• The brands vision, mission and values and its reputation 

and public image 

• The long term commitment of the brands shareholders 

• The capability and experienced of the brands 

management team 

• The uniqueness of the brands products and services and if it 

has broad appeal 

• The overall competitiveness of the brand 

• The financial track record of the brand 

• The anticipated break-even point & return on 

your investment 

• The ease of transferring and replicating the concept 

• The ability to maintain and deliver consistent standards to 

your customers 

• The completeness and adequacy of the “SYSTEM” (Manuals, 

Processes & Tools) 

• The quality and adequacy of the training program 

Beyond these 10 essential considerations detailed above you 

should also ensure that you understand the business and 

how it operates in terms of the outlet prototypes, the brands 

key competition, the target market and consumer profiles, 

the brands marketing strategies, your investment cost and 

anticipated return and the fees you will be required to pay to 

the brand owner. 

Before you make a final decision about the brand you should 

also make sure that the brand is going to provide you with 

an operations manual, training & ongoing guidance support, 

details of site selection criteria, standard pans & specifications, 

initial & ongoing advertising & promotional support, a list of 

and access to the required products, strong identity & brand 

usage guidelines, and access to continued improvements and 

enhancements in the system. 

While understanding the brand you are considering investing in 

is obviously very important it is even more important to know 

and understand yourself and you should ask and answer the 

following questions: 


31


• Are you serious about running your own business 

• Are you willing to work hard 24-7-365 

• Are you willing to do the dirty work 

• Are you going to enjoy owning and operating the 

franchise business 

• Are you willing to follow the franchise System 

• Are you successful in dealing with people 

• Can you afford the investment 

• Do you understand your contractual obligations 

• Do you have spouse and family support 

• Do you have a positive outlook and a strong desire 

to succeed 

• Do you want to make money and achieve 

financial independence 

If you do ultimately invest in a franchise you will become part 

of a family and together with the franchisor you will need to 

constantly work on the following: 

• Enhancing the real and perceived value of the brand in the 

minds of current customers and the community. 

• Getting and keeping more and more customers by 

marketing the brand and consistently following the proven 

operating system. 

• Becoming more efficient, effective and profitable 

• Developing people who are committed to serving customers 

Franchising is a proven business model and the pros of 

investing in a great franchise brand far outweigh the cons. 

Additionally investing in a franchise business generally presents 

much less of a risk than trying to create your own business 

from scratch. 

Hopefully the advice in this article will help you when you 

are evaluating franchise opportunities and considering an 

investment in a franchise business and I will leave you with 

a bit of ancient wisdom which is somewhat more time tested 

than the advice that I have given you herein:

defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win”
