\"\"<\/a>Franchise News India:<\/a>\u00a0Cameron Fancourt, franchisor of Luminiere Skin Clinics sees the prediction of consolidation as a huge opportunity.”I think it’s a way small operators can grow their business but still be part of it, if they can’t afford the operating costs.”<\/p>\n

Fancourt says the current legislation allows for nurses to perform injectable treatments in clinics without a doctor present. However, he adds, any change to tighten up regulations and require a doctor on the premises would have an impact on the beauty business with increased operational costs for many salons.<\/p>\n

Fancourt \u00a0prefers to refer clients to doctors to conduct the treatment off-site. But he is looking at a particular business opportunity that will add flexibility without cost, or liability. “It will be like a sub business, they cover all the professional indemnities and the liabilities are on them,” he explains.<\/p>\n

“We’re certainly getting more enquiries for results-based treatments and there is a greater rate of return than on smaller ticket items; $1000 versus $3000 to $1200 for anti-ageing in the same time scale.”<\/p>\n

INVESTMENT MODEL<\/p>\n

Of course there is a greater investment required to enable salons to offer machine-based treatments and gain the ongoing returns. However Fancourt has a solution to help franchisees with upfront costs.<\/p>\n

“We’ve worked out a model with suppliers to get finance for equipment purchase. Franchisees pay back over a two to three year period so payments come out of operating capital. We understand the pressures.”<\/p>\n

The clinic chain typically has a high street presence, with the original outlet in Noosa situated on the street side of a local shopping centre.<\/p>\n

“I’m keen to explore shopping centres more but there is more for landlords to do, their costs have to be more realistic,” explains Fancourt. “Our model works better on a smaller rent base.” The business has Melbourne in its sights right now.<\/p>\n

“Our space has greater equipment costs but greater average sale, and needs fewer staff. Typically it takes a day spa six or seven rooms to generate $40,000 a month; we can do the same in three rooms with fewer staff.”<\/p>\n

Expansion plans for this brand may include India – in a joint venture with the Indian-born Randwick franchisee who sees great potential for the clinic.<\/p>\n
