Riyadh - Exclusive Sharikat Mubasher: The Riyadh-based Franchise Consulting Firm (Franaccess) has supported over 300 Saudi brands in becoming franchisors since its establishment in 2015, according to Founder and CEO Ahmed Alarfaj.

Speaking to Sharikat Mubasher on the sidelines of the Saudi Franchise Expo 2025, Alarfaj stated that Franaccess provides essential consultancy services to help small enterprises and startups launch their businesses and streamline workforce employment. The firm has played a pivotal role in enabling Saudi brands to expand across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and GCC regions.

Alarfaj emphasized the significant growth of the franchise sector in Saudi Arabia, which is motivating local brands to explore opportunities beyond the Kingdom.

With a robust presence in MENA and GCC regions, Franaccess targets extending its expertise in developing franchise business models globally.

The Saudi Franchise Expo 2025 partook in Riyadh from 27 to 29 January, serving as a dynamic platform for entrepreneurs and investors to enter the world of franchising, giving them the chance to meet and network with leading franchisors and discover the latest investment opportunities across various sectors.
