Want to Become a Franchisee?

The Betta name has been servicing local communities since 1961 and the brand is one of the longest running national groups within the electrical industry. We currently have over 200 Betta stores around the country- and we're growing daily!

Our Betta stores are serviced by a lean and cost effective national office, offering our retailers buying, merchandising, marketing, advertising and promotional services. As part of the Betta brand, you will receive a comprehensive annual marketing, advertising and promotional programme.

On the store floor, you have access to the company’s comprehensive Retail Management System (RMS), considered one of the best operating in the electrical industry. Our RMS provides many benefits to your business, including up-to-date pricing, user friendly point of sale, unsurpassed inventory control and all the reporting facilities you require to manage your successful electrical retail business.

Of course, as a member of the BSR Group, you are additionally provided access to a professional helpdesk, which not only assists your team with any technical issues, but provides guidance and training in system best practices.

Many of our Betta retailers have been with our brand since its start in 1961 and we are growing our membership on a daily basis.

Betta Yet, Hear It From Them!

Don’t take our word for it. Hear what some of our franchisees have to say about their experience when joining BSR Group!

“The BSR group provides a massive amount of support for retailers, head office, and suppliers to all work together to achieve best outcome principles and business growth. As a group we work as a team and our relationship amongst fellow franchisees is akin to a large family rather than just a business. The level of support from head office goes over and above what many other franchisees have in their respective industries. I’m proud to be a part of what I believe is the best franchisee system in our industry.”

– Michael Wilson – Kempsey Betta

“Joining the Betta franchise network felt like stepping into a big family BBQ — someone’s always burning the snags, someone’s spinning wild sales stories, but at the end of the day, everyone pitches in and supports each other. There’s laughter, honest debates, and plenty of ‘you’ve got this!’ messages when things get tough. The support from BSR is like having a super-organised older sibling who gently reminds you what you forgot, helps you sort your spreadsheets, and keeps you sane. The journey from enquiry to opening our doors was a whirlwind — part ‘Amazing Race’, part ‘The Block’ — full of paperwork, emotion, and excitement. But when those doors opened, it was a real ‘wow, we actually did it!’ moment.”

“We’re proud to be a third-generation Betta family. Brett’s grandmother, Clara Beeson, joined as one of the original Betta members back in 1964. His parents, Graham and Elaine Nosse, continued the tradition in 1979, and we stepped in to carry the torch in 2018.

Brett has literally grown up in the shop he sold his first kettle at just seven years old!

That’s the beauty of Betta: most stores are family-owned and operated, creating a genuine community vibe. It’s a network of down-to-earth people who care for each other, celebrate milestones, and share ideas to help every store succeed. We value the relationships we’ve built with other franchisees. We all share the same values and goals, and we’re always ready to support one another through the daily challenges of running a small business. Whether it’s brainstorming solutions or swapping ideas to improve, collaboration is at the heart of what we do.

As Brett likes to say, quoting Maverick: “Don’t think. Just do.” (Liz adds with caution!) That mindset helped us bring the look and vibe of a city store to our small country town in Outback Queensland and we couldn’t be prouder.

Betta isn’t just a business, it’s a family! And we’re proof that when you join, you’re part of something bigger.”
