FRANCHISE - A STRONG MODEL, EVEN DURING ECONOMIC CRISIS

Reassuring, the franchising model is dynamic and evolves with the society and new consumption patterns. In 2019, it has generated a turnover of € 68 billion, showing an increase of 9,5% compared to 2018. Although the Covid-19 epidemic has been tough for independent and isolated shopkeepers at the beginning of 2020, franchise stands out as a strong business model. Indeed, 93,7% of fff’s (Fédération française de la franchise) members have restarted their activity*. Franchise is the perfect mix of independence and support, and appears as a very interesting model to start one’s business alone with the help and advice from a concept that has been tried and tested.
