Always dreamed about running your own business?There has never been a better time to open your own store than now.

With the brunt of the financial crisis behind us there are some great business opportunities in the retail sector today. Now is a really good time to consider opening and owning your own retail store in Australia.

A
s the market trend is turning significantly towards a greener and more environmentally friendly focus, now is also an excellent time to partner with a well established brand like The Earth Collection.

The Earth Collection is one of the world's most recognized brands within our niche and has been a pioneer in green clothing manufacturing for over 17 years. Our products are distributed through more than 500 shops in 30 different countries today.

ALWAYS DREAMED ABOUT RUNNING YOUR OWN BUSINESS?

Always dreamed about running your own business but never had the courage to make the leap? If you are contemplating starting your own business, there may not be a better time to do it than now - even if the economy is still a little shaky.

While that sounds like it might be contradictory, it is not. It is widely expected that the economy will get back on its feet through new small businesses and new entrepreneurs. You could be one of them.

WE ARE NOT A FRANCHISE

The Earth Collection is not a franchise although we do offer a proven concept. Owning your own The Earth Collection shop you will not have to pay any royalties or licence fees to us or anyone else. You simply run your own business on a free license using The Earth Collection concept and products.

In very simple terms you set up the business and we provide the concept, brand and products.

CHANGING YOUR LIFESTYLE

If you are looking for a business opportunity that makes you a million dollars in one year, this is not it! While running your own The Earth Collection shop is a serious business proposition, it is also a lifestyle choice.

The dollars will start rolling into your bank account from the very first day you open your doors (unlike many non-retail businesses). And there is indeed scope for making a very comfortable living from owning and operating a The Earth Collection shop. But it is important to realize that a retail business needs to be built from the ground up.

The good news is that you already have a head start by partnering with The Earth Collection as a well-established and widely recognized natural fibre clothing brand. But you still need to be prepared to put in long weeks and long hours, and you need to be prepared to work in your business in order for your business to become a success.

IS THE EARTH COLLECTION FOR YOU?

In order to successfully operate a The Earth Collection you need tick some boxes:
  • You have an interest in natural fibre fashion (maybe you are already wearing The Earth Collection!)
  • You have a burning desire to succeed in running your own business.
  • You enjoy dealing with people every day.
  • You are ready to work long weeks and long hours.
  • You understand that you need to work feet on the ground in your shop (we are looking for owner operators).
  • You have or can arrange finance to fund a shop fitout, security deposit on a lease and stock purchases.
  • You are prepared to change your lifestyle
