History
Franchising Company had been constituted in June 2001 in Buenos Aires, with a corporate purpose covering franchise advisory services, franchise commercialization, and the development and commercialization of brand licences.[11]

By the mid-2020s, the Franchising Company has more than two decades of activity and hundreds of brands developed as franchises or licences.[1][2][12][4] The company's own client list includes brands in gastronomy, fashion, retail, services, beauty, health and training, among them Lucciano's, Guolis, Mi Gusto, Arredo, Colombraro, Lidherma, Quiksilver, Reef, Montagne and Portsaid.[3][13]

Franchising Company advises businesses seeking to expand through franchise or licence models.[1][3][4][14] Its services include the definition of business models, franchise formats, investment projections, commercial dossiers, legal documentation and operating manuals.[3] The firm also lists services connected with franchise granting, brand licensing, trademark registration, legal documentation and retail marketing.[3]
In 2021, Marcelo Schijman and Fabián Slisaransky participated in an English-language foreign trade training programme organized by investBA and Santander. The programme listed them as speakers from Franchising Company for a session on marketing, trademark registration and international positioning.[15]
Schijman has also been quoted in Argentine business media on franchise-market conditions, including the entry of foreign brands into Argentina, the international expansion of Argentine franchise brands and changes in franchise formats.[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][6][9][8]
Franchising Trends
Franchising Company organizes Franchising Trends, an event focused on the Argentine franchise sector.[1][26][27][28][29] The Guía Argentina de Franquicias profile of the company describes the event as a press event that had reached eighteen editions by the mid-2020s.[1]
The 2024 edition was held on 26 November at Torre Macro in Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires, and was presented by journalist Javier Fabracci.[26][29] According to the company's account of the event, participants included businesspeople, representatives of franchise brands and figures connected with the sector.[26]
In 2025, Banco Macro hosted a Franchising Trends meeting focused on networking, digital communication and franchise-sector trends.[30][31] The event included recognitions for brands such as Bagels & Bagels, Café Martínez, Crosta Pizza, Guolis, Lidherma, Lucciano's and The Coffee Store, among others.[30][32][31]
