The Franchising and Licensing Association of Singapore (FLA) certifies
the upward progress of the franchise industry in Singapore. According to
Ms. Terry Wong, General Manager for FLA, Singapore's reputation as a
strategic entry point to Asia has attracted the attention of numerous
foreign companies seeking to expand their operations abroad.
"With pre-organized systems, established branding, and a shorter
learning curve, franchise businesses in Singapore have typically performed
better. And more entrepreneurs are beginning to consider franchising as a
feasible investment and business expansion option," she said.
"With a comparatively stable political environment, sound legal system
with well-developed and efficient infrastructure reputed to be one of the
best in the region, Singapore is the prime choice for many international
companies seeking expansion in Asia," said Mr Robert G Shaw, Managing
Director of Edwards Global Services, Inc, an US based International
Business Development consultancy firm.
Mr. Norm Bogner, states Singapore's unique position as a prominent
business centre, especially in South-East Asia, to be the main draw for the
leading Canadian fuel management organization.
"Proven franchise systems allow investors to reduce their risk of
starting a new business from scratch, while achieving faster return on
investments. We hope to facilitate the link for regional investors to
successful American and Canada franchises, to accelerate the growth of
Asian Franchisepreneurs," said Mr. T. K. Lee, Principle Consultant of Asia
Franchise Networks.
