Franchises for sale in Fremantle, WA
Geography: this report covers the Fremantle SA3 statistical area (ABS), which is broader than a single suburb. Demographics from the ABS Census 2021.
How this opportunity score works
The score is a weighted 0–100 research signal, not a site-selection decision. It combines, per category:
- Demand (category fit for the population) — 30%
- Competition gap (trade-area model, more room scores higher) — 25%
- Demographic fit (income vs the category) — 20%
- 5-year population growth (percentile) — 15%
- Franchise availability (systems recruiting here) — 10%
Inputs: ABS Census 2021 (population, income, growth) and a trade-area competition model using OpenStreetMap / ABS business data where available. It doesn’t model rent, site specifics or local trading conditions, treat it as a starting point for research, then confirm on the ground and with the franchisor. See our methodology.

Survival & viability analysis
Aged & Disability Support viability: High
The aged & disability support opportunity in Fremantle scores 75 out of 100. With a population of 32,000, there is a solid customer base, enough to sustain about 1 aged & disability support outlet. At about 1 existing aged & disability support operator, competition sits below typical metro density, an opening for a well-run entrant. Population is growing at 9.2% over five years, ahead of the typical comparable area in the state (9.0%), so new demand is still arriving.
