Help SMEs accelerate in Australia
Are you interested in taking control of your own future? Craving more freedom and flexibility in your work life? Eager to earn what you truly deserve and make a positive impact on your local SME community? In today’s corporate landscape, it’s likely that you’ve entertained the idea of becoming your own boss and starting your own company.
Well, as independent CEO/MD/Business owner yourself at thexton armstrong, you’ll find the opportunity to launch your own Master Franchise business, while benefiting from a strong support structure to help you manage and grow your business.
This is a unique opportunity for a well rounded business professional to secure the exclusive rights to launch your own SME business mentoring franchise in Australia. If you have a background in business ownership, business investing, general management at executive level or a background in business consulting, and seeking a new challenge, this could be the right opportunity for you.
Why I launched thexton armstrong
External events were having a big impact on economies and made it clear to me that most SMEs were ill equipped to withstand external shocks such as the GFC, Covid, an energy crisis and inflation. SMEs needed support at a time they became more cautious to invest in external advisors. This kicked off my search for the best, industry independent tools and methodologies to convince and support SMEs and share them with as many independent business consultants as possible. Hence the launch of the thexton armstrong business mentoring franchise in 2011 in The Netherlands. Since then, we’ve refined our franchise and redesigned our SME proposition and client solutions, allowing you to benefit from over 10+ years experience.
Make a meaningful impact
At the heart of our franchise is the belief that SMEs are the backbone of the economy and our latest market research shows that Australia counts almost 2,6M actively trading businesses. Our target market consists of business-to-business SMEs in selected business categories and size.
SMEs in Australia need our support and as Thexton Armstrong Australia was closed down in 2016 by its previous owners, we have secured the rights to the trade name and are open to relaunch thexton armstrong under new management!
By helping SMEs succeed, we contribute to the growth of local communities. As a thexton armstrong Master Franchise Partner, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that your work and the work of your team of Business Mentors directly impacts the lives of business owners and drives economic progress.
