Today on StartupSmart, we look at how the continuing recruitment struggles of the franchise industry could benefit aspiring franchisees.

In recent months, a number of franchised businesses have either dropped their joining fees or offered generous terms and conditions in order to lure undecided operators.

But how can you best take advantage of these giveaways? And does the industry’s people problem point to longer-term troubles for franchising in Australia?

Elsewhere, start-up retail blogger Mark Campbell discovers the art of delegation and web guru Fred Schebesta has some handy online marketing tips.

Finally, do you dream of quitting your job and starting up, but are worried about when and how to take the leap? If so, our free webinar on Thursday may be for you.
