FOREIGN FRANCHISE DEVELOPMENT

Why choose to develop a franchise abroad?

The dream of every franchisor is the expansion abroad, to see their brand shine on the most elegant streets of the Côte d’Azur (as happened to successful brands such as La Piadineria or La Bottega del Caffè), or in a luxury London shopping center, as it happened for Carpisa, Natuzzi, Lavazza.

Expansion abroad is the crowning achievement of a franchise entrepreneur’s dream: it is the ultimate testament to having succeeded in a great enterprise. However, the road to success is full of obstacles and there are some useful tips to limit errors. Such as the choice to start from a country with similar characteristics to the original one (e.g. the aforementioned France or Spain) or the start of a scrupulous market analysis to understand if there is a real profitability for affiliates. Last but not least, the study of the country’s customs and customs and a reflection on the logistical aspects, fundamental especially if franchising operates in the field of food.
