In Episode65 - The discussion on the Mobile Skips Franchise Business Model centred on;

  • A simple easy to operate business, which is actually down to just 2 days to show a franchise owner to run the business 
  • An innovative company, as a tech-based business looking for tech solutions for simplifying the business model
  • Doing it differently, with their service somewhat of a disruptor early on in the waste industry. Fixed pricing when they started was broadly unheard of, but normal now. And focusing on domestic customers primarily
  • The Bunnings Partnership, is a drawcard for franchisees with presence in 180 locations across the country.
