Franchise. Acquisition. DIY. Or a Nemco setup.

The same operational foundations a franchisee gets – once, as your own property, with no royalties. Here’s the honest comparison, including when the others win.

*Registered NDIS and aged care setups: the build is 2 weeks; the regulator’s registration decision typically takes 3–6 months. Honest note: a franchise gives you a recognised name and an acquisition gives you day-one revenue. If either matters more than ownership and margin, we’ll tell you on the call.
Decision guide

Which road is yours?

A franchise or acquisition suits you if…

  • You need revenue in week one and can absorb goodwill and risk
  • National brand recognition matters in your category
  • You want someone else to make the operating decisions
  • You're comfortable paying a percentage for as long as you trade

A Nemco setup suits you if…

  • You'd rather pay once than pay forever
  • You want to own the brand, documents and systems outright
  • You'll follow a launch plan to win your first clients
  • You want it built properly and compliant from day one

Three differences that matter

What a setup changes

You own the asset

Sell it, grow it, close it - no franchisor approval.

You keep the margin

No 5–40% off the top for the life of the business.

Built to current rules

Not a 2021 template pack - compliance written to today's standards.

FAQ

The things you're wondering

Operationally, yes: entity, compliance, brand, systems, launch plan and support. What you don’t get is a national brand – and what you don’t pay is royalties.
You’re buying a build, not a brand licence and a revenue share.
Yes – a compliance and systems rebuild after an acquisition is common. Ask on the call.
No one can. We guarantee the build; the running of it is yours.
