The franchise business model is one that is advantageous both for the party selling the business license and for the party buying it. Compared to starting a new company, this option offers a higher degree of security for the business owner as he will rely on an already tested business model.

Franchise opportunities in Thailand
Opening a new business implies several types of costs and in some business sectors, this decision has to include a number of business risks. When opening a franchise in Thailand, the franchisee (the one acquiring the business license) is not doing business by himself but rather has the support of an already tested business model and, depending on the franchisor, he will also have access to training and support.
Thailand is a country that offers a number of business opportunities for those who wish to buy a franchise. The advantage of this business model for the franchisor (the company selling the business license) is that it will have access to and will expand to a new market. moreover, the franchisor will not be involved in the process of company formation in Thailand.
Top franchising opportunities in Thailand include:
- fast food restaurants and international cuisine restaurants;
- fashion or cosmetic stores;
- cafes;
- beauty spas;
- cleaning agencies;
