Central and South America Hot Franchise Destinations

(Newswire.net — October 15, 2018) Sydney, NEW SOUTH WALES — With a combined population far exceeding that of the United States, the Central and South American regions are one of the most attractive destinations for many U.S franchisors looking to expand beyond their borders. And according to franchise expert Derek Cafferata, CEO and President of All State Franchise Finders, it is a move that, when planned out, can offer huge potential.

“The Central and South American markets are ripe for franchising,” says Derek. “We are finding an increasing number of franchisors keen to step into this region and reap the rewards. And when done with care and forethought, we’re seeing many companies reap significant rewards.”

Currently, the fast food industry dominates the franchising landscape of this region, with the likes of the big players like KFC and Pizza Hut as well as an increasing number of smaller, more unique fast food places that focus more on offering healthier options.

According to Derek, some of the up-and-coming industries to strongly consider launching into the Central and South American markets include senior-care services and education and tutoring services.

Mexico and Brazil of Particular Interest

The vast population and a rapidly growing middle class make Mexico and Brazil two of the hottest franchise destinations for American-based franchisors looking to expand.

Franchising is a concept that Mexico understands and loves. Its geographic location, large population and a growing middle class that is crying out for well-known brands available north of the border, make franchising into Mexico a very realistic and wise option.

Mexico City is host to one of the world’s largest franchise exhibitions, showcasing local franchise brands as well as all the best brands from the U.S. and around the globe.

Brazil is another hotspot for those looking to expand further afield than their American borders. A population of over 200 million spread out across a wide range of regional cities, makes for attractive expansion.

As well as a large population with strong purchasing power, Brazil has extensive protection laws in place against the importation of foreign goods.

“Franchising is highly regulated in Brazil,” says Derek. “While the process of expanding into this country can be tedious, it is definitely worth every effort.”

Franchising with the Experts

Franchising beyond national borders and into international markets is something many franchisors dream about. However, many believe it to be too risky, costly and difficult.

Which is where utilizing the knowledge, experience and expertise of a franchising expert can pay dividends. Derek and his team at All State Franchise Finders work with some of the best franchise companies in the U.S. They have helped many franchisors reach their goal of international brand expansion to a wide range of global markets.
