EDITOR’S WELCOME
WELCOME TO
“WHAT’S NEW IN FITNESS”
Hi, and welcome to the Winter 2018 edition of the WNiF Mag.
As the end of the 2018 financial year fast approaches it is worth
reminding you that your business is still eligible for the 2018
EOFY Tax concession for small businesses*. What you may not
know, is just like regular retailers, equipment suppliers also have
end of year sales. Two notable sales are from Panatta Australia
The mission of WNiF is to present fitness
professionals with the knowledge that
allows more informed commercial
decision to be made to benefit their
business.

As you’re about to find out, our Winter 2018 Edition is packed with great articles, too
many to mention. Our ‘Feature Article’ from Meridian Lawyers Franchising: Your
Buying Considerations (page 16) is worth highlighting as franchising, either ‘off-the-
plan’ or buying an existing operation, remains a strong proposition for many fitness
entrepreneurs and has important ramifications that really cannot be ignored. The
message is, as with any business venture, do your research and complete a thorough
due diligence. EDITOR
