Last week in Manila, VF Franchise Consulting teamed with U-Franchise to hold one on one business matching meetings at the American Chamber of Commerce in Makati City. The meetings showcased highly successful big name brands with proven franchise systems to investors looking for new and innovative business opportunities.
The Philippines, with more than 1,500 brands and 150,000 outlets, is a key market due to the advanced stage of development of the franchising sector. The Philippines government has also recognised the importance of franchising. It plans to nurture this booming industry with economic proposals to sustain 7 percent economic growth until 2040 and goals to cut poverty to 17 percent by 2022. The goal is to create an improved environment for franchisees as well as making it easier to franchise new brands.
