The model allows you to have your own business with an affordable initial investment, as long as you are willing to manage it. So, as an investor beginner, <\/span>Lisa Juan Jos\u00e9 Guti\u00e9rrez Mayorga recommends<\/span><\/a> to look after microfranchises. If you are willing to i<\/span>nvest for the first time in Guatemala, this is one of your best options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have some savings and are interested in a business, you may want to consider investing in a franchise or microfranchise<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Business expansion models in Guatemala through franchises have had a high growth, although for people of average income the necessary amount of investment is not within their reach.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some options that are handled now are microfranchises<\/strong>, through a program promoted by the German Agency for International Cooperation and the Ministry of Economy (Mineco).<\/span><\/p>\n

The model of microfranchise arose from the need of people<\/strong> who want to be entrepreneurs, but do not have large capitals to invest. It is a business model of easy access or moderate investment. Loarca explains that the idea is that it be managed by the investor, and the profitability is adjusted to an equivalent salary for a person who has a formal job. That is, it requires the active participation of the franchisee.<\/span><\/p>\n

The five brands that are registered in the program, according to the Mineco, are Empanadas Do\u00f1a Nany, Panader\u00eda La Esperanza, Super Pollo Express, Ice Cream Shop EyesPop and Pasteler\u00eda Milano. The initial fee for this type of store varies from Q10,000, Q17,000 and Q20,000, within the microfranchise program, depending on which one is chosen.<\/span><\/p>\n

The interested party must take into account that the total initial investment<\/a> \u2014which includes a license to use the brand, equipment and certain supplies\u2014 is higher, explains Loarca. According to the Mineco, it ranges from Q65 thousand to Q98 thousand, depending on which business is chosen.<\/span><\/p>\n
