Property photography franchise Top Snap wins a 2011 Smart50 Award

Written on the 9 November 2011 by Helen Clarke

Property photography franchise Top Snap is excited to announce it ranked 17th in the SmartCompany Smart50 Awards 2011.

The awards recognise the 50 fastest growing and most entrepreneurial companies in Australia.

"Growing fast enough to win this award is a great achievement for Top Snap, especially as we had to beat hundreds of entries to make the final list," said Rob Watkin, Top Snap Managing Director.

The award comes hot on the heels of Top Snap's recent exceptional growth, which saw the launch of six new territories across Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Victoria in the past four months alone. This takes the total number of territories across Australia to 36, a 125% increase in territory numbers over the past two years. And Top Snap's fast growth shows no sign of abating, with plans for another 12 territories to be opened in the coming year, and a constant influx of enquiries and applications for new franchises.

Mr Watkin puts the system's growth down to a number of factors, not least that it has a massive appeal to franchisees:

"Our franchise owners spend their days taking photographs for a living - something they might only have dreamed about doing professionally beforehand. On top of this, they are joining a successful and supportive business system, which as well as low entry and start-up costs, has the added benefit of being a mobile service franchise, which helps insulate franchisees from some of the current issues faced by retail systems" he concluded.
