Barbadillo Asociados started to expand outside Spain in 1997 by opening branches in Lisbon and Porto.
This step was crucial for many franchises in both countries to become international.
Business in Latin America started with Barbadillo Asociados Venezuela in June 2000. This first branch in Caracas became the starting point for our operations adapted to the Latin American market, including the publishing of the Venezuela Franchise Guide, the most comprehensive publication on the franchise sector in Latin America.
However, this clear trend has not prevented Barbadillo Asociados from exploring opportunities simultaneously in other emerging markets with significant potential. As a result of this strategy, we established in June 2002 Ambo Barbadillo Franchise Consulting (Shanghai) Co Ltd., the first western franchise consulting company in the Chinese market and the ideal platform to introduce Barbadillo Asociados' publishing services and products in the largest global market and gradually penetrate in other emerging franchise markets of Southeast Asia.
During 2004, Barbadillo Asociados strengthened its position in the North American continent, with new branches in Santiago de Chile and Miami, two crucial Spanish-speaking areas in terms of economic growth in America.
Its current international presence and our next openings -expected to take place in 2005- make Barbadillo Asociados one of the most important benchmarks enjoying the broadest scope in the worldwide franchise consulting scene. |
