Whitegoods and Furniture Rental Business

The vision for this company was to become ‘the world’s first choice in home appliance renting’. Within two years of franchising the business, they had over 30 stores, renting home and office appliances throughout New Zealand and Australia and in just over 10 years they have grown the business to over 90 stores.

‘As a growing business both within Australia and overseas, it was necessary for us to have a greater understanding of our financial position and to restructure the finance department in line with our ongoing growth…….your input was invaluable and conducted in a professional, timely manner’
