With a national average of 20 percent of franchises of small businesses owned by women, Q400 company Aussie Pooch Mobile is way ahead of the pack, with 65 percent of its franchises now owned by Australian businesswomen.
Collectively these women have won numerous awards including Franchisee of the Year/Franchisee Woman of the Year on a national and state basis, Telstra Business awards and Consumer community voted awards.
Founded in 1991 by a then 21-year-old Chris Taylor, today one of Australia’s most successful and influential business women, APM was the first franchise system of its kind, and is still the largest franchised dog wash and care company in the world with over 155 operators in Australia, United Kingdom, Malaysia, New Zealand, New Caledonia and the USA.
Taylor says the drawcard for many women is that APM has been built on a basis of “an extended family”, and suits women with a caring nature and will to succeed.
