Although the franchising market in Russia is growing (by 15% in 2015, and by 6% in the first six months of 2016), there is no complete data on its state. Throughout the Russian Federation, there are no more than 750 companies that have their own trademarks and conclude franchise agreements. There are almost twice as many concepts - 1300.
The Russian edition of Forbes in Russia decided to close the blank spots on the financial map and determine which franchises in Russia are the most profitable. When calculating the place of the franchise in the ranking, both the average annual revenue of one outlet and the ratio of profit to revenue and profit to initial investment were taken into account.
10. Professor Nicolas Science Show
It not only opens the rating of profitable franchises in Russia, but also demonstrates that science can be fun and at the same time make a profit. Nikolay Ganaylyuk's entertainment show is watched in more than 50 cities of Russia, and there are 62 points in total. The revenue for 2015 was 5 million rubles.
9. Mobile car wash
The package includes personnel training and personnel management training, overalls, inventory and materials. The company has 7 own outlets and 62 franchise outlets, and the proceeds last year amounted to 3.6 million rubles.
8. Respect
The St. Petersburg shoe company has 189 own points of sale, both in the Russian Federation and in neighboring countries. Respect footwear is produced all over the world - from Europe to Southeast Asia and Latin America. Now the company, in addition to its own, also has 71 franchises. Franchisees can sell footwear from other manufacturers, but no more than a third of the total. In 2015, Respect's revenue amounted to 36 million rubles.
7. Tea Funny
The crisis did not affect the sale of the cocktail franchise in the best possible way, so the company decided to increase the number of its own fashionable drinks cafes to make the brand more famous. So at the moment Tea Funny has 87 own outlets and 211 franchised ones. Over the past year, we managed to gain 4.5 million rubles.
6. Coolant Synthesis
A Kazan company for the production of chemicals (auto chemicals, plastic containers, hand washes and fragrances) sells franchises, the price of which includes equipment, personnel training and starting material. In total, the opening of one outlet takes about a month, and the company has 102 outlets. Revenue amounted to 18 million rubles.
5. Samura
The company specializes in selling knives made in Japan according to its own orders. Over the 7 years that have passed since the start of the franchise, the number of points increased to 255, and the profit for 2015 amounted to 3.75 million rubles.
4. Miel
The franchise of the largest Russian brokerage network was launched in 2009. For 2016, Miel has 122 points, which are located in fifty cities throughout Russia, and several partners in Spain, the Czech Republic and Cyprus. Income for the past year - 21.6 million rubles.
3. Unibrait
The first three of the top 10 Russian franchises in 2016 are opened by a Novosibirsk company. She sells self-developed technology for applying a mirror coating to any object. Now the company has 59 own outlets, and the revenue for the last year amounted to 8.8 million rubles. Interestingly, the head of the company decided to limit the number of franchisees to no more than 5 per city - to prevent too fierce competition.
2. CDEK
Another Novosibirsk company, engaged in the delivery of goods, made a bet on China - and it was right. Now China is becoming one of the leaders in the global internet trade. CDEK opened franchise outlets in 10 cities of the People's Republic of China, and the company has 323 of them. Over the past year, the revenue of this transport company amounted to 6.7 million rubles.
1. Laboratory service Helix
The history of the company began in 2004, when former students of the Biological Faculty and the Military Medical Academy of St. Petersburg opened the first diagnostic center. And already three years later, they began to actively sell the franchise. Now the number of franchising points of the company has reached 180. The company is experiencing the crisis successfully - last year 63 new points were opened. In 2015, Helix's revenue amounted to 21.6 million rubles.
