There’s money to be made in Western Australian without joining the mines. That’s the view of regional franchisor Meesha Watson whose Jim’s Fencing business cannot keep up with customer demand.

“Ever year we have hundreds of jobs a year that JimÕs Fencing cannot service across Western Australia,” said Meesha Watson. “Those jobs we were unable to help with could equate to hundreds of thousands of dollarsÕ worth of fencing.”

Watson said a national survey of JimÕs Fencing franchise owners in 2011 reported an average net income of more than $112,000 per year . “ThatÕs great money in anyoneÕs book, and it comes without the lifestyle issues of having to work away from home,” she said.

JimÕs Fencing has been operating for more than 10 years and is part of the JimÕs Group which has been trading for over 25 years in Australia, and has over 3,200 Franchisees across Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom and Canada.

Last month another franchisee in the group predicted strong business growth for his cleaning division.
