Franchise Radio Show 179 "How to grow a service franchise with Jarrad Goulding, The Local Guys"

Jarrad Goulding is the CEO & Founder of The Local Guys group. Previously he had been a franchisee in Boost Juice and a restaurant franchise. Jarrad and his partner Stacey were lucky enough to be part of a great franchise network in Boost Juice & a not-so-great franchise in their restaurant franchise. With these experiences, they saw the best and worst of franchising, which gave them the knowledge to mould a successful franchise model with The Lucky Guys. They used provisions such as flat fees and easy-to-exit agreements all in non-corporate culture. They have grown to 78 franchise partners in a little over five years including Covid in the first year. Jarrad's passion is assisting new franchise partners to take the leap of business ownership (maybe for the first time) and help nurture their growth to have happy successful businesses. The Local Guys have expanded from Electrical Test and Tagging to three, soon to be four divisions and have franchise partners in every state & territory in Australia as well as franchise partners on both the North & South island of New Zealand.
