stating up a business in Spain

we are thinking of taking on a francise in Spain,has anyone heard of OPI letting management services?

Hi

Can't say I have heard of them, but they have an impressive spiel.

How much are they asking for a FRANCHISE

John

I just read their (OPI)full website, E45,000 to set up, it doesn't say how the office would be financed Rental/services/phones/internet etc,

This is a market that is already heavily saturated, despite what they say in there website. I would advise caution and get independant advice before you part with any money.

John

I have been very impressed with what opi offers and will be using them for my property management when I complete.

THats great Jules and pleased that you impressed - Google needs to tread very carefully before parting with 45k - its a big investment so needs to know exactly what the benefits are as opposed to setting up on their own

Be careful who you give your money to Google.....................

But with an ID like that, I would suggest you do a lot of Googling before you make any decision!

Out of interest, my cousin moved to CDS some years ago, had money to invest in a franchise.

Found some people who were interested in starting a pizza outlet, everything sounded wonderful.

They parted with their money and never saw the other parties again.......................

Smiley I agree with you totally, google needs to look careully into the business side of the franchise before parting with his money! I was merely commenting on what I thought  the business from a prospective user of what they offer.

Another look at OPI website, it would seem that they are expecting to start up a lot of offices in 2007, throughout Spain are they waiting for "Franchisees" to come up with E45,000?

Cynical as ever,

Here is a Chance for all.  For just E45,000 I will sell you an "Ark Franchise" Global warming will guarantee future business

Interested? let me know

John

I am moving to spain shortly, have been in business in the uk for 25 years plus

Have had a fraanchise.  My advise is with a franchise, you are told what to do as part of there system

they can change it at any time, and getting out of it , that could be another story, and basically somewhere

they are in control of your destination.

If you want to set up in business 1 do not invest too much 2 do your homework 3 be prepared for hard work

set goals and keep in your mind at all times where you want to be in the end.

I am setting something up in the music undustry shortly in South Costa, my investment, some advertising

if you know anything about the industry i.e dancing or anything to do with live music  I may be looking for someone

to team up with. any way good look      ( anthony.worrall1631@btinternet.com
