Spanish businessmen are more optimistic than Europeans on the evolution of their business prospects. It is the conclusion drawn from a survey conducted by the Chambers of Commerce more than 80,000 businesses, of which 10% were Spanish. But the increase in sales is so positively since the franchise industry?
The report on the Status of Franchise prepared by Tormo & Asociados, this sector continued solid growth in 2007, but due to economic conditions, its evolution was not as positive as that experienced in previous years. Still, experienced increases in turnover, investment, number of establishments and employment generation, and this kind of business accounted for almost 15% of the total turnover of retail trade.

Javier Herrero, Head Expansion Camu House restaurant chain, for example, is as optimistic as the employers surveyed by the Chamber of Commerce. “The hotel is a religion in Spain and even rise in interest rates or prices, people will not be removed out to lunch or dinner with friends.” According to Smith, in your company increased its sales in 2007 nearly 30% and expect that this year the numbers continue to be beaten.

The franchise dedicated to the subject property or home are the most pessimistic about the evolution of their business, but still, it seems that bad luck will soon pass. “We have noticed the slowdown in the housing sector in the last quarter of 2007, but it seems that the sale and is third best and most stable of our stores are going up,” said Isabel Rubio, Head of Marketing, Bo Concept, dedicated to teaching furniture design.

On the other hand, the survey of Chambers of Commerce points to a further slowdown in trade for the first quarter of this year. Richard Thomas, Head of Expansion of fashion franchises Tribune, agrees. “I’m not as optimistic as those surveyed for the development of trade and, specifically, the insignia of fashion, is now slower.” He said the process has slowed over the past four years.

Business Confidence Indicator
Chambers of Commerce found in its report of business confidence indicator that indicates that weak demand has now become the limiting factor for further activity, instead of increased competition, which was the core makes one year.
Javier Herrero, Casa Camu, demand is still “more or less the same.” As for competition, he says, what remains “is to compete with the weapons you have at your disposal such as quality, price, treatment of the public or originality.”
From Tribune, Richard Thomas, however, does not agree with the results of this indicator of business confidence. “If the business evolves more slowly is more to the recession that the skill with which you are.”

Investment and employment generation
The survey of employers shows discrete perspectives investment and employment generation in sales.
“We continue to invest in fashion franchises and will continue generating jobs, but the crisis will be felt in a reduction of these two factors,” says Richard Thomas.
According to a report by Tormo & Asociados of franchise, employment generation grew more moderate in 2007 (5.2%) due to more modest results.

“The major complication with which we are in the hospitality industry is the subject of personal and high turnover in our stores,” says Smith, Casa Camu. “There may be a slowdown in employment in our sector, but far from bad, can make you feel better service quality and to achieve greater professionalism and commitment.”
The investment, according Tormo & Asociados, it recorded a significant growth (9.8%) due to the fact of incorporation to the development of franchise chains with high investment requirements for establishment. “With regard to investment, says Smith, our company must adapt itself to the economy of time and we decided to lower the financial claims on issues such as entry fee.”
