A Must-Read for Aspiring Business Consultants in New Zealand

Hello everyone, David here from Business Consulting NZ.

I’m excited to share that we’ve been featured in Franchise New Zealand in the article “Making Business Thrive”. It’s not just a piece of promotional content — it’s our story, our approach, and our invitation for people who believe in the power of practical, results-focused consulting for New Zealand businesses.

Here are a few reasons why I think this article could be a game-changer for you:

What’s Inside & Why It Matters

1. How it all began
   I sold my beverage business in 2005 and realised something important: even though many people have great business experience, there was no structured way to learn consulting in NZ or Australia. I had helped some friends with a little support, and they turned into multi-millionaires — that confirmed to me that consulting done well makes a real difference.
   
   

2. A tested system built for NZ businesses
   One of the big gaps back then was toolsets and training for consulting. After uncovering training overseas, I brought back what worked (and adapted it), built a programme that helps business owners see performance gaps, profit leakage, and what really drives value in their firms. We even developed software so owners can self-evaluate some parts of their business and see where improvements lie. That kind of transparency was missing, and it’s core in how we help others.
   
   

3. Relaunching in today’s economy
   With all the economic pressures ‒ rising operating costs, regulatory issues, and the strain many businesses feel ‒ the timing is perfect to bring this model to more people. The article explains why now is the time to act: to empower more franchisees, more consultants, to give business owners tools and clarity.
   
   

4. What being a BCNZ franchisee looks like
   The feature in Franchise NZ is very open about what you get:
   
   

• A franchise fee of $51,000 + GST, which covers everything you need to get going, including five days of deep and thorough training, and ongoing training support.
  
  

• A weekly rhythm of webinars, a monthly one-on-one with me, and shared tools to help you find clients and build credibility.
  
  

• The potential earnings: with 6-7 clients at consulting rates, you could average $25,000/month. Yes, it’s ambitious — but with the right work, tools, and mindset, it’s absolutely possible.
  

Why I Wrote This: The Heart Behind the Numbers

I’m not just focused on revenue or franchise growth. My real drive is helping people with executive or corporate experience take everything they know — leadership, strategy, financials — and apply it in a way that creates real impact for Kiwi Business Owners. Seeing clients finally breaking through ceilings of profit leakage or operational inefficiencies, helping them regain confidence, grow value, and find work-life balance — that’s what motivates me every day.

Interested in building a profitable franchise? Here’s what I’d encourage you to do

• Read the article “Making Business Thrive” in Franchise New Zealand. See for yourself what we’ve built, the results, and whether it aligns with what you’re looking for.
  
  

• Think about what you want next — whether you’re a business owner looking for consulting support, or someone considering joining us as a Business Success Partner.
  
  

• If you like what you see, let’s have a conversation. I love talking to people with drive, with experience, who want to see more than just profit — who want to build value, impact, legacy.  Call David Thexton on 0275 093 385, or email david@businessconsultingnz.co.nz
