Franchise World Link goal is to facilitate the development of, and roll out of franchises in recently established or emerging markets.

The Franchise World Link business model serves to interlink the sometimes fluid space between investor, master franchise holder, franchisor and investos as well    as guiding businesses into a successful franchise-able system.

The interdependent international offices work together to successfully identify potential franchise opportunities in their countries. They then facilitate the negotiations for the investors to become the master franchise owners in their nominated territories. Because of the selected partner’s local knowledge and expertise, they are able to assess potential local pitfalls and counter them before the business starts. This results in a higher than average business success rate. Existing franchise businesses are identified and their business models are tailored for the new host country before start-up so the transition into a new growth market is seamless and efficient.

Strategically placed in Johannesburg, the heart of Africa’s second largest economy, Franchise World Link South Africa is your preferred franchising partner.

Franchise World Link – the innovative company aiming to connect players in the franchise industry worldwide and focusing on developing regions such as Africa, Asia and North America – is pleased to announce the launch of their new country – India. India will be the base of operations for the company in the South Asia region and the company expects to grow into Srilanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan and Maldives in the next few years.

Baljit Gulati, who has recently been appointed as Director South Asia for Franchise World Link shares his views on international franchise opportunities in India and the region:

‘The franchising industry in India is still at a very nascent stage and is expected to grow by about 400% in the next 3 to 5 years. The Indian consumer today, is exposed to International brands and is willing to spend on these new concepts. The franchise industry in India should see a significant increase in sectors of Health & Wellness, Retail, Food & Beverage, Travel and Education. The introduction of new policies by the government of India for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) should generate considerable interest by International brands to enter the country and establish a growing presence. The success of the Franchising model depends upon a collaborative partnership between Franchisors, Franchisees, Investors and companies like Franchise World Link.

With a current population of 1.25 Billion today that is expected to grow to 1.36 Billion by 2020 (overtaking China to become the most populated country in the world) and a GDP growth rate of above 6%, India provides massive opportunity for Franchising today.

For any business queries or help to expand into India and the region, or, if you would like to take your business international please contact Baljit Gulati at baljit.gulati@franchiseworldlink.com

We are happy to announce the launch of Franchise World Link in Middle East!

Franchise World Link, an innovative company which owns and manages a technology platform to connect all the players in the franchise industry: individuals, entrepreneurs, startups, franchisors, master franchisee investors and venture capital funds, is delighted to announce the launch of their Middle East Representative Office in Dubai, UAE.

Dubai as one of the most dynamic and vibrant cities in the world is the commercial heart of the Persian Gulf and displays strong socio-economics, a business friendly climate and long-term foundations for a franchise concept to succeed. Being the 7th most visited city of the world based on air traffic, Dubai is expected to accommodate over 15 million tourists by 2015 and its gross domestic product is projected at USD 107.1 billion, with a growth rate of 6.1% in 2014. Most renowned global franchisors are progressively more attracted to the Dubai market where the fast food and convenience sector, represents about 40% of the overall franchise market.

Amir Hossein Roshanzamir has recently been appointed as the Middle East’s Director for Franchise World Link organisation, and is sharing his views on international franchise opportunities within the region.

” I think that the world is changing so rapidly and globalization is driving companies beyond the boundaries of local and traditional way of doing business. The leading technology trends in IT including peer-to-peer based social networks, mobile, cloud and big data are transforming the structure of many companies and creating lucrative business opportunities for them to grow through franchising. The Middle East is one of the fastest growing markets for the franchise business model and provides unique and rewarding opportunities for brands who are looking to launch or expand franchises. Experts figure out that the franchise concept has an annual growth of 25% which is increasing every year. It is predicted that over $25 Billion will be spent on retail business and service sectors in the Middle East annually and a sizable portion of this is allocated to the franchise market. Meanwhile, franchising is considered the favorable and dominant model of entry for international brands, since commercial laws in most countries within the region require that local citizens or corporations wholly owned by those citizens run the business.” Even for SMEs who cannot afford the high startup costs, Amir says, “The right location, a solid infrastructure, and superior quality can open up a niche market with incremental growth.”

Amir, who has been living in Dubai for almost 14 years, is an electrical engineer, received his MSc. in Information Technology and an MBA from Manchester Business School. He has more than 18 years of experience in international business, finance, sales and marketing and business consultancy. Amir brings a rigorous academic background as a part time researcher and university teaching assistant. He is also a reviewer and member of the technical program committee of  International Conferences. Amir has a strong network both in academia and the real business world and has attended executive courses at some of the top universities including MIT Sloan, NYU Stern, Tuck, Columbia, IESE,  ie and Bradford.

If you own a business in the Middle East and are looking to expand internationally or if you are an investor seeking for emerging and lucrative opportunities to buy the master franchise ownership for a particular brand, you may contact Amir Hossein Roshanzamir. He will be happy to help you to develop a business plan for your global expansion and introduce you to the right people: amir.roshanzamir@franchiseworldlink.com
