A business support package from New Zealand now being franchised in Australia has attracted strong interest from people in several states following the success of its 2009 events in Auckland.

The franchise offer of the 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, is run by one of New ZealandÕs leading businesswomen, Sarah Trotman who says “Most of the genuine interest centres around the fact that we are offering a Total Business Support Package and there is nothing like it on the market.

“I am convinced the Bizzone business support formula will work internationally because it is a world-class event – there is nothing in Australia like our package and no awards that celebrate excellence in business support — a growth industry in itself.”

Franchise applications are being handled through New Zealand’s franchising and licensing consultancy, Franchize Consultants, which was Service Provider of the Year (Westpac New Zealand Franchise Awards 2008).
