“Major Islamic financial hubs such as those found in the Middle East, Asia and Europe are tapping into Islamic franchising opportunities around the world and collaborating working on a united front to further spur the Islamic financial industry forward”

For a company with a product or service to sell, franchising provides an excellent opportunity for rapid expansion without an enormous outlay of capital. It is a distribution system that allows a business to conserve capital, and at the same time achieve fast market penetration making it a very attractive proposition to most business owners. One of the greatest advantages to them is that they get 100% commitment from their franchisees who have a stake in the business rather than staff or managers who simply work for a salary and may be less motivated. Franchising enables them to utilise the entrepreneurial skills of the franchisee network to achieve better results than might otherwise be achieved.
