The company has announced a special
financial incentive program for just
six new applicants who have the skills
required, but lack capital. Its solution is specially tailored financial package solutions on terms far more favorable than standard lending institutions might offer.
SafetyQuip is Australia''s only
significant franchised player in full
scope Workplace Safety Supplies &
Services - a booming billion dollar
plus market.
Managing Director and founder Gary
Shearer said, "We have created
a potent combination, enabling
motivated franchisees to build
businesses of considerable value. Our
next step is to aggressively expand
our network and we are looking for
the right people - not just people
with money - providing them with the
opportunity to own and operate their
own business."
The SafetyQuip system is highly
developed, with 11 territories
operating and already three FCA
'Franchisee of the Year' nalists (!). No prior safety experience is necessary
as training is intensive, professional
indemnity comes with the package
and expert technical advice is on call.
"We believe that the safety business is the kind of ground floor opportunity that McDonalds was 20 years ago and Subway 10 years ago. That's why we offer a 5 + 5 + 5 year term with complete renewal of the entire period on sale of the business. Business builders need time."
The SafetyQuip model provides
franchisees with time to build the
value of their enterprises, and gives
future purchasers the incentive of a
full renewal, rather than the typical
offer of 'balance of term remainirhg .

Gary said "It's a billion dollar market and growing at an enormous rate,
given that so many businesses must
buy safety gear and consumables by
law." Workplace accidents kill and
injure more Australians every year
than are harmed on our roads, and
authorities and courts have become
serious about enforcement and penalties.
The company is meeting the demand with a range of products and services that businesses are compelled to
purchase - or else face stinging fines,
massive compensation payouts and
even jail terms.
Safety products include a wide range of products such as breathing, skin, eye and ear protection, workwear,
height safety, signage, anti-fatigue
mats, spill cleanup products and first
aid kits.
"Because we are a national group we also enjoy the advantage of being able to service organisations that have
regional operations. The advantage
is that companies are dealing
directly with a local business that
understands their specific conditions
and requirements, rather than an
impersonal big business model."
There are huge opportunities to grow. The market is accelerating fast as an estimated 90% of small to medium
enterprises that do not properly
comply with workplace health and
safety regulations are rapidly coming
to understand the scale of the risks
they are taking.
