Owning your own regional Master Franchise
in Victoria with James’ Home Services
Victoria may be considered small – only 3% of Australia’s total landmass – but it punches well above its weight
in areas such as economic and cultural contributions to Australia. Home to approximately 5.3 million people, Victoria produces around ¼ of Australia’s GDP ($268 billion for 2007–2008) and has a strong and resilient economy, with an average growth rate of 3.0% over the past 9 years and AAA credit ratings from both
Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s Investor Services.
Melbourne, Victoria’s capital city, has a substantial economy in its own right, comparable in size to that of many Asian countries. This diverse, creative and multicultural city is where many of the country’s leading companies such as BHP–Billiton, National Australia Bank, ANZ (Australia and New Zealand) Bank, Coles Myer,
Foster's Brewing, Orica (formerly ICI), National Mutual and the Colonial Group all have their headquarters. International companies such as Hewlett Packard, IBM (International Business Machines), Toyota and Bosch have all chosen to base themselves in Victoria, as have almost half of Australia's financial services industry providers and banks
Manufacturing is also powering ahead in Victoria, which represents almost 60% of Australia's automotive production, including significant exports, and leads the way in developing new industries.
Regional Victoria is also thriving, with bustling rural communities originally based on primary industries,
but now diversifying to include everything from property and food processing to retail and recycling.
Victoria is also famous for its arts and entertainment, shopping and dining, fashion, history and heritage,
and diverse holiday destinations from the surf to the snowfields.
