The 1990's was a time of unprecedented opportunity for American Corporations and entrepreneurs to expand their businesses into Russia.

 

Reflecting that vision, The FranTech Research Group was formed in 1985 - created expressly to foster entrepreneurial diplomacy via an international investment network to help American companies bring their franchises, ideas and other business opportunities to potential partners in Russia and high level of Government and industry contacts world wide.

Global Market Place

 

There is a true global market place in the 21st century where even small and mid-sized American companies can successfully conduct business beyond their national borders.  The FranTech Research Group is working hand-in-hand with U.S. and Russian entrepreneurs to provide strategic plans for successfully launching new business ideas in Russia and throughout the Commonwealth of Independent States.

Franchising is Popular

 

The FranTech Research Group helps American companies find the most favorable methods for establishing their business overseas.   Franchising has become particularly popular in Russian in recent years for a number of reasons:

 

  1. Franchise purchases make economic sense because the Ruble will dramatically increase in value soon, thereby creating more Russian buyers eager to invest in such relationships with American businesses.


  2. Societal changes in Russia contribute to a healthy franchise market.  Russian consumers have become more open to American products and seek out U.S. goods and services.  Additionally, large Russian companies are seeking diversification and have identified American franchises as an ideal investment.


  3. Demographics and geography make Russia especially suited for franchise operations with its 300 million people living in an area that is larger than the U.S.A.  The Moscow metropolitan area alone is home to approximately 6 million people.

FranTech Cultivates Ideas

 

The FranTech Research Group collects and cultivates new ideas for business in various ways.  It maintains direct contacts with companies, investors and business and franchise consultants; and interfaces with major venture capital groups.

 

American companies and concepts are also brought to the attention of Russian investors by reading FranTech's own Russian-language "New Money Talks Business Report Magazine."

 

FranTech does more than merely introduce American ideas to potential Russian partners.  It also helps both parties consummate a deal by providing everything necessary to make it a reality running the full range from initial research of the market through the final business negotiations.

 

By working with The FranTech Research Group, American entrepreneurs can save dollars and, most of all, time in establishing working businesses in Russia.
