What is the best franchise under $50,000?
With both the WA and SA Parliament looking to enact laws that make it harder for franchisors to 
operate, and in recent years a number of franchisors failing (Baskin Robbins, Kleins, Quiznos etc), franchising is in the news for all the wrong reasons. One franchise brand is bucking that trend.
V.I.P. has been ranked by Financial Review’s Smart Investor Magazine for December 2010 as the number one franchise system under $50,000 for the second straight year, following its win in 2009 and has increased it’s overall ranking from 84% to 88%, with the number two franchise group on 75%.
Founder, Bill Vis says “Despite the economic climate, our services continue to be in demand due to Australians working longer hours and wanting more leisure time. We offer V.I.P. quality home and commercial services that enable Australians to spend more time with their familys, friends and generally doing the things they love.
“We see the survey results as an indication that our brand has stood the test of time and technology, and that our staff, systems and brand continue to be number one in the Australian market. It is great to be recognised by an independent survey; free of bias or commercial influence, unlike some other ‘Top Ten Surveys’ conducted by those in the industry.” Vis Said.
“Our sales proposition to people thinking about a change in careers is simple; if you don’t like your boss, aren’t earning what you think you’re worth and enjoy giving V.I.P. service to customers, then come out for a day in the field with an existing V.I.P. franchisee. You’ll soon see why we achieved this for the second straight year.”

V.I.P. ranked best franchise under $50,000
Friday November 20, 2009
V.I.P. has been ranked as the number one franchise system under $50,000 by the Financial Review's Smart Investor magazine, outscoring its nearest competitor by nearly 10% with an overall score of 84%.
V.I.P. Founder and Chairman, Bill Vis says “While we know that we have a good system, it’s great to be recognised through an independent study as the best franchise system under $50,000.
“Since finishing number two last year, we have implemented new changes to our system, including the introduction of a website giving franchisees the opportunity to showcase testimonials, photos and information about themselves to their own area incorporating the latest in Google map technology.
“We’ve been able to grow the number of franchises in this economic climate because of the appeal of being your own boss and the control over their lives that this gives people. When I started my franchise business in 1979 I was out the front of a factory when an employee came up to me and said ‘why would you want to mow lawns for a living?’ My response that I could work when and where I wanted, as well as earning $200 in a day – which the factory worker earned in a week – was enough to convince him to join.”
Even now V.I.P. has established franchisees making more money in one day than what they were earning as an employee over a whole week.
V.I.P. has a range of franchises available, including: Garden Maintenance and Lawn Mowing, Home Cleaning, Commercial Cleaning, Pool Care and Money (Mortgage Broking).
