We aim to become a reference in the field of franchise consulting. The franchise system is a business model which enables the steady expansion of a brand: the methodology has been tested, the know-how is exclusive and it is all systematized in operating manuals. As the CIC, we aim to provide consultancy services that will enable Portuguese businesses to spread their concepts both in their own country and abroad through franchising. We share methods adapted to all types of business with our partners, and accompany the implementation process in order to guarantee sustainability. Our objective is to be a valuable support tool for entrepreneurs.
