Who We Are

We are thought leaders in the franchise industry shaping the processes, the systems and the people that have developed a large number of the leading franchise networks in Australia, many of which we’ve taken to the world.

The foundations of DC Strategy were laid in 1983 with the purpose of helping entrepreneurs from start-ups to medium enterprises to large corporations, grow their businesses through franchising. Over the years, we have worked with a huge range of retail, food, trade and professional services, financial sector, IT and hospitality businesses as well as non-profit organisations, government institutions and multi-national networks across the globe.

In the last decade alone we have created well over $1.5 billion worth of enterprise value for our clients, advising over 220 businesses and networks and establishing over 2000 franchised locations.

Founder and chairman, Rod Young is recognised as one of the world’s leading franchise and channel strategy experts. He and the professional team of franchise specialists at DCS bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in establishing and developing successful networks and brands in Australia and internationally.

Why DC Strategy

We are franchise specialists. From start-up businesses to established networks and corporations, we integrate the financial, operational, legal, recruitment, brand, online and international strategies that ensure successful growth and expansion through franchising.

With over 30 years’ experience, we are Australasia and the region’s only all-inclusive franchise firm with representatives and partnerships throughout Europe, China, South East Asia, India, the United States, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas.

As a franchise-focused broking firm, we represent only franchise business sales working with leading franchise systems on green-field sales, and new and existing franchise recruitment. We work across all industries, with investments ranging from $50,000 to $3million. We have a large database of prospective franchisees, and work closely with franchisors to ensure potential buyers are guided through the approval process, assisted in understanding the obligations and benefits of franchising and supported in gaining finance.

We assist in the marketing and presentation of your business and manage the entire process from generating enquiries to signing the contract of sale, franchise agreement and lease. We are also present on the day of handover to ensure a smooth transition.

We consistently obtain great multiples and results for our broking clients. And due to our size and the number of businesses we represent, our marketing expenditure is more cost effective and our fees and charges represent better value.
