Who runs Franchase
Franchase is run by a specialist team at Astros Marketing, based at Sunnyrock HQ in Germiston. We focus on practical franchise advice for South African founders and operators.
A team dedicated to franchise comparison
Franchase is led by a group of specialists who have experience in franchise selection, working capital planning and territory review. We operate from 2 Makro Place, Sunnyrock, with appointments at review bays in major cities.
Our team does not sell franchises or take payments from franchisors. Our service is advisory, helping you compare categories and operating models, and preparing you for meetings with franchisors or legal advisors.
- Independent advice, not paid by franchisors
- Category comparison and fit checks
- Guides for paperwork and capital planning
What our work means for buyers
If you are looking at franchise opportunities, our method is built to help you compare types, entry budgets and working styles before you commit. We support your decision process with fit checks, territory playbooks and working capital notes prepared for local conditions.
We never promote specific brands or rate them. Our team explains the steps required by the Consumer Protection Act, points out what to review in franchise agreements and disclosure documents, and prepares you to ask the right questions when you meet franchisors.
Connecting with us at review bays
We welcome messages from people thinking about franchising, whether you are just starting or ready to review documents. Our main office is at Sunnyrock HQ, with review appointments available in Sandton, Rosebank, Menlyn, Brooklyn, Canal Walk, Tyger Valley, the V&A Waterfront and Gateway.
