Some surprisingly big names are financial services franchises – which gives you the opportunity to leverage the brand name and the business model, and provide customers with what they need.

3 financial services franchises

ANZ Mobile Lending

ANZ Mobile Lending is the only mobile lending franchise backed by a major bank in Australia. The mobile delivery means franchisees can work from home so there is no need for a retail lease. Instead, franchisees take on a non-exclusive marketing territory to promote their business and mortgage products.

A dedicated regional manager and lending specialist can provide coaching and guidance as you build your business. There are other specialists on hand too, with expertise in areas like credit and assessment, technology and governance.

While franchisees do not need a financial loans background, if you lack qualifications and experience you will need to complete a Certificate IV in Finance and Mortgage Broking.

It costs from $35,000 to invest in an ANZ Mobile Lending business.
