The document discusses Maurice Roussety's argument for rating franchise systems in Australia. Currently, there are no recognized mechanisms for systematically rating franchise system efficiency. Roussety believes ratings could help franchisors identify weaknesses, franchisees assess existing or potential franchisors, valuate franchisee business goodwill, and assist lenders and those conducting due diligence. As an experienced consultant, Roussety is positioned to provide strategic advice on franchising, growth, finance modeling and more to organizations.

1. Maurice Roussety Gives Strong
Reasons To Rate Franchise Systems In
Australia

2. Given the growth and importance of franchising in
Australia and other parts of the world, independent
knowledge about the strength and viability of new,
emerging, and mature franchise systems is paramount
to franchisors, franchisees, lenders, professional
advisers, government, and investors.

3. Presently there is no recognised mechanisms or
published methodologies that systematically and
comprehensively rate the efficiency of a franchise
system. Maurice Roussety, a Consulting Strategist at
DST Advisory and Lecturer at Griffith University
argues that rating these franchise systems allows:

4. 1) Franchisors to identify any weak points in their
system.
2) Franchisees to assess the strength of their existing or
potential franchisor.
3) The valuation of goodwill of franchisee-operated
businesses.

5. 4) Lenders to identify and rate risk when lending to
franchisors or franchisees.
5) Lenders to offer better risk rated non-RMBS loans to
franchisees.
6) Due diligence investigations of franchise systems
engaged in mergers and acquisitions.
7) Valuation of the franchisee and franchisor’s business
for establishing value in establishing inheritance and
wills.
