The Franchise Business in Costa Rica

Of the investors who allocate their capital to national franchises, 71% could see a return on investment (ROI) in a period of two years.

Thursday, September 12, 2013

This was revealed in the latest study by the franchise sector of the Chamber of Commerce of Costa Rica (CCCR). In addition for 19% return on investment (ROI) could come in 2 or 4 years, while for the remaining 10% in 4 or 6 years.

But if it is an international franchise, 72% of investors would receive their ROI in a time of no more than four years and 23% between 4 and 6 years. "... In the national case, 4 out of 10 contracts are for a minimum of five years and in the foreign, the fourth part will use that same period and another 25% will impose a decade as the timeframe," noted an article in Elfinancierocr. com.

Another point to consider is that brands charge a fee for the rights. In the case of nationals the amount is less than $50,000 in 72% of cases, not including the initial investment which in 48% of contracts is not more than $50,000.
