Franchising in Spain
FRANCHISES IN SPAIN
Buying into a success franchise can be a smart financial option for people looking to move to Spain or for people already living in Spain. Franchising in Spain offers a much safer way to make a living in Spain when compared to starting your own business in Spain.
WHAT IS A FRANCHISE IN SPAIN?
A franchise is a business concept that you buy into as opposed to starting your own business. Perhaps the best know example is McDonalds. Sure you could start your own fast food restaurant but when you pay to buy a McDonalds you have an edge as you are buying a brand that instantly attracts customers. Not only that but your on-going franchise fee is partly reinvested in national advertising to continually draw in custom.
In addition with a franchise in Spain you are buying (or should be buying) a proven business idea, mistakes have been ironed out so that you are trained in how to run a successful business operation with on-going support and backup from the franchisor, who ideally is also based in Spain.
Possibly with a franchise in Spain you will have access to goods at wholesale prices - with a few franchisees there is bigger buying power as compared to your lowly buying power as a single unit operation.
Starting a business in Spain has a high failure rate - apparently 8 out of 10 businesses fail within 3 years whereas with franchises in Spain, 8 out of 10 are still running after 3 years. Therefore buying a franchise in Spain can give you an essential head start in business. Yes you are running your own business but you are not alone.

WHAT TYPES OF FRANCHISES ARE THERE IN SPAIN?
Buying a franchise in Spain is not just about buying a fast food franchise. In Spain you can buy a franchise in almost every business area that you can think of. Of course if your Spanish is limited your choice of franchises in Spain is also limited. Also if you are limited to an expat area maybe the franchise of your choice has already been taken.
A word of warning when considering buying a franchise opportunity in Spain - just because a concept is advertised as a franchise doesn't mean success is guaranteed. Do your research and check out every fact that the franchisor in Spain gives you. In particular talk to as many of the other franchisees already up and running in Spain as possible.
Another note of caution concerns the fact that many franchises in Spain are merely people who have started their own one unit business and then think of expanding as a franchise. While there is nothing wrong with this, especially if that person has come up with a winning money-making formula, you do need to realise that the risks are greater.
If the business is not an established and known brand then what exactly are you getting for your initial franchise fee? Also what do you get for your on-going franchise fee?
OUR 7 ESSENTIAL TIPS TO READ BEFORE YOU CONSIDER BUYING A FRANCHISE IN SPAIN OR A FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITY IN SPAIN
FRANCHISES
IN SPAIN - TIP 1
Buy into a franchise in Spain that is up and running and proven - not
new on the block. Ask how long the franchise in Spain has been in business
and look at how many other franchisees in Spain there are.
FRANCHISES
IN SPAIN - TIP 2
Talk to as many franchisees in Spain as possible before you make your
decision. Many people looking into buying a franchise in Spain get so
carried away with enthusiasm that they neglect to listen to the existing
franchisees as they are convinced it will be a success regardless of what
they are told.
FRANCHISES
IN SPAIN - TIP 3
Try
find out if there have been many franchises in Spain that have failed
- don't necessarily let this put you off - but find out the reasons why
the franchises have stopped and look for warning signals.
FRANCHISES
IN SPAIN - TIP 4
Try buy a franchise with a international brand name or at least with a
brand that is recognised in Spain - this is one of the key reasons for
buying a franchise in Spain as opposed to just starting your own business
in the same trade or line of business.
FRANCHISES
IN SPAIN - TIP 5
Buy a franchise in Spain that fires you up with enthusiasm. If the franchise
idea in Spain does not excite you, you will soon fail no matter how good
the franchise concept.
FRANCHISES
IN SPAIN - TIP 6
Make sure the franchise in Spain offers good backup and support.
As you will be paying on-going franchise fees you need to know what you
are getting for your money. Support and help when required is important
but also find out if part of the franchise fee goes into marketing for
the franchise. This is another good reason for joining or buying a franchise
opportunity in Spain.
FRANCHISES
IN SPAIN - TIP 7
Consider the potential profit (and losses) of the franchise in Spain.
Consider whether the risk is worth it. You may be better off starting
your own business or getting a job whereby
you can switch off at the end of the day and relax, something that is
unlikely when you run a franchise in Spain.
