Franchise Excellence launches to help regional franchise industry

Speaking on the launch of the company's new website, www.franexcel.com, Managing Director Gareth Parry said,

"After almost nine months of pre-launch preparation and development, Franchise Excellence is the first company in the region to combine services to international franchise companies wishing to enter the Middle East market, with dedicated, results-orientated acquisition programs for potential franchisees, expansion programs for existing master franchisees and a full franchise training curriculum."

He went on to say, "Our philosophy is simple, we believing in helping people and companies by offering transparent, honest and above all success-based services and programs. The franchise industry, although exciting and growing at a tremendous rate, has many pitfalls and we offer our customers the best possible path to franchise success."

Almost 12million square feet of new retail space is due to come online in the next four years in Dubai alone, with almost triple that amount across the GCC in the same period. Franchise Excellence (FranExcel) has also established branch offices in Kuwait, Egypt and Lebanon, as well as Singapore and Malaysia, who provide services across all of Asia.

"The launch of our website provides everyone interested in franchising with a huge amount of franchise resources and users can search for suitable franchise concepts, using The Franchise Marketplace, the website's core search engine. We have also listed details of key service providers, profiles of more than 2,000 franchise companies from across the world and even self-tests for potential franchisees and franchisors," Parry went on to comment.
