From commercial questions to informed action.
Star Brands Consulting Group helps you assess opportunities, make strategic decisions and advance franchise, licensing and market-entry projects through an agreed scope of work.
Start with your objective. We assess the appropriate support and confirm the scope and fees before work begins.
Begin with the support you need.
You can enquire about advisory directly, submit a specific opportunity for assessment or apply for STAR Access™. A workspace subscription is not a prerequisite for an advisory enquiry.
Strategic Advisory
For franchise strategy, licensing, market entry, partner evaluation or support with a defined expansion project. Submit your requirements and business background.
Opportunity Assessment
For a specific brand, territory, partnership or commercial proposal you want to evaluate. Explain the opportunity, your intended role and the decision you need to make.
STAR Access™
For organisations seeking an approved client workspace for intelligence, reporting and collaboration. Apply with details of your organisation and intended use.

Move forward when the evidence supports it.
An engagement may identify a strong opportunity, a need for further preparation or a reason to change direction. These questions help determine the next step.
Does the opportunity fit your objectives?
We consider the proposed market, business model, operating requirements and commercial assumptions against your objectives and capabilities.
Are you ready for the next commitment?
We examine relevant funding, management resources, information gaps, internal approvals and other dependencies that could affect the proposed action.
What needs to happen next, and who owns it?
The next actions should have clear responsibilities, required information and an appropriate sequence. Support from our team remains within the agreed mandate.
Clear roles. Accountable work.
The engagement defines what our team will deliver, what information you will provide and which decisions remain with you or other parties.
Star Brands Consulting Group
We assess the requirement, deliver the agreed work and provide the analysis or advisory support included in your engagement.

The client
You provide accurate information, review the work, make commercial decisions and arrange the resources required for your project.
- Provide relevant business information.

Brands, partners & other parties
External organisations assess proposals against their own requirements and retain authority over their approvals and commitments.
- Brand and franchise approvals.
- Partner participation and commercial terms.
- Funding and investment decisions.
- Relevant regulatory permissions.
An engagement does not guarantee a franchise award, funding, regulatory approval or a commercial result. Services and responsibilities are defined in the relevant agreement.
Your next step begins with a clear requirement.
Tell us about the brand, market or project you are considering. We will assess how we can assist and identify the appropriate engagement route.
