Aside from Jamaica Blue’s™ established business model and highly regarded reputation, owning a Jamaica Blue café business in Western Australia allows you to utilise the state’s increasing economic rate, high wages and high survival rate of small businesses.

Reports from the Department of State Development show that the Gross State Product (GSP) per capita for the year 2014-15 reached a total of $249 billion, making up 15% of the whole of Australia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). GSP per capita for Western Australia surpassed the national average by an astonishing 42% showcasing the great economic potential derived from within Western Australia.

In addition to Western Australia’s strong GSP, the state also boasts the second highest average salary for the entirety of Australia. Figures from Living in Australia’s latest report demonstrate that Western Australia falls behind only the country’s capital, ACT, when comparing Australia’s average annual wage.
