Franchise Wire:
The Bizzone Business Expo, which has become New Zealand’s largest event for business, is to be franchised in every Australian state.
Australia is the first franchise target for the business; it is set to go worldwide.
The business to be franchised, a total business support package, includes the Bizzone Business Expo, the Bizzone Excellence in Business Support Awards and the Bizzone Magazine, which is currently the largest circulation business magazine in New Zealand.
Bizzone, which is run by one of New Zealand’s leading businesswomen, Sarah Trotman, is a prestigious event on the New Zealand business calendar. NZ Prime Minister Hon John Key will present this year’s Vero Excellence in Business Support Awards during the Auckland Bizzone Expo at a gala dinner for 600 business support influencers. The Bizzone Business Expo is held annually in New Zealand in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch and 13,500 business people attend the event each year.
Sarah Trotman is an experienced business woman, a business mentor and a business advisor on a leading TV business programme. She has been selected as a future leader in the Sir Peter Blake Leadership Awards and was a finalist in this year’s Veuve Clicquot Awards for female entrepreneurs. Bizzone took 29th place on the NZ Deloitte Fast50 growth index last year. She believes the time is ripe for the total business support package to go Australasian.
