I’m passionate about helping people become financially secure and independently wealthy by growing their own business, wherever they are, whatever their background
It all starts with an obligation-free conversation with Brian Keen… We cover where your business is at, where you want to go and how best to get there
I first saw the massive potential for franchising to create a successful business – fast – after opening and operating seven stores in just five years as a franchisee for Bedshed, setting up and growing six franchise groups of my own and working with many other businesses through Franchise Alliance, the consultancy I set up.
Since then, I have worked with more scores of businesses, helping them establish franchises and grow to create a joint wealth of over $15bn
Because of this experience, I realised that although every business is different, the process to franchise is the same. So, I created my latest business venture, Franchise Simply, where I systemised the process to create the Franchise Success Path. Now I and my franchise savvy team take you through each step to successfully change your business to fit this amazing business growth model.
Central to the Franchise Simply Franchise Success Path are the Kickstart Workshops where you get an essential overview of franchising and the tricks to making it a success.

I lived in Malawi, Central Africa for many years and it was here I established my first businesses.
When we left I wanted to do something to help the people I got to know and love. So, when I came across MicroLoan Foundation, an organisation providing business services to the poor in sub-Sharan Africa, I was hooked and decided to found the Australian sector.
Our vision is a world where all those living in poverty have the opportunity to build better lives for themselves and their families.
We aim to do this through our mission which is to provide the poorest women in sub-Saharan Africa with the tools and skills to enable them to work their own way out of poverty.
By giving hope not handouts, we help women so poor they cannot get funds from normal lending avenues, use our business banking, training and mentoring services to start their own businesses and create a better life for themselves, their families and employees and ultimately their villages.
And we are honoured that our clients are proud to be able to use our services, and through their own endevours, build their own businesses to help themselves.
Over the years, I have written many articles and books about franchising. Some are based on interviews with experts in the field and some are based on knowledge gained over the years.
The best of these are listed here.
