Chinese look for Australian business visa

Australia, 12th October: More and more Chinese people are looking to get franchises in Australia, findings of latest research reveal.

The study conducted by Research house 10 Thousand Feet has published a report on franchise networks of Australia.

As per the report, almost 35 percent of enquiries for Australian small businesses came from Chinese nationals seeking Australian immigration while India and South Africa followed China in seeking Australian franchises.

Ian Krawitz, head of intelligence at 10 Thousand Feet, stated the number of Chinese nationals showing interest in becoming a franchisee was increasing day by day since this provides them with an opportunity to make application for Australian Business Visa and to get valuable support in business for their new enterprises in Australia.

The reason for such a tremendous popularity of Australian franchises among overseas residents seeking Australian immigration including Chinese nationals is due to the huge success in businesses by Chinese and the quality of living in Australia, stated Krawitz.

Such Australian franchises provide overseas nationals with a rare opportunity of fast tracking their learning route on marketing practices and other requirements for getting a kickstart to their businesses in Australia.

So, they, no longer, need to start their businesses from scratch and get a platform for a smooth beginning, Krawitz added.
Ian Singer, director of Australia Migrate said a large number of franchise systems in Australia were showing immense interest to offer opportunities of franchises during the seminars of the company in South East Asia. Australian visa applicants and franchisors showed great interest in such offers, added Singer.

Applicants wanting to get Australian business visa can do so by purchasing a franchise, any existing business or by starting their own enterprise in Australia, Singer clarified.  So, there is no need for getting bothered about longer waiting periods for review times and for receiving your Australian business visa, he asserted.

The research showed that as the percentage of applicants hailing from non-English speaking nations looking for Australian franchises was just around 15 percent, Mr. Krawitz informed. And its been found that several franchisors inform of difficulties faced by non-English speaking franchisors to gel into the business culture of Australia.
