Expert Franchise Advisory Consultants
At Babot-Aranguren Asociados, we are a franchise consulting firm with extensive experience in Spain, having helped many businesses become stronger. We have a perfect understanding of both sides of the franchise, since we have developed multiple franchise projects for franchisors and, in turn, we have been franchisees, so we are perfectly aware of the problems of both sides. Our services as franchise consultants are aimed both at entrepreneurs who wish to start a project as a franchisor, and at those people who wish to start a business as franchisees under the umbrella of a recognized and successful brand.
What services do we offer as a franchise consultancy?
Consulting for franchisors
Our consulting for franchisors begins with a preliminary analysis to confirm if your business model is prepared for franchising and what requirements you must meet to do so safely. From there, we develop the franchise project to measure, adapting the structure, processes, and documentation to the reality of your company so that the expansion is viable and sustainable.
We draft the franchise agreement in accordance with current regulations, taking care to clearly reflect the obligations and rights of each party and avoiding ambiguities that may generate conflicts. In addition, we accompany you in the selection of franchisees, evaluating profiles and fit with the brand, and we manage incidents that may arise during the franchisor-franchisee relationship to maintain a stable network.
When necessary, we intervene in the negotiation with the franchisee and assume the defense of your interests, both in out-of-court settlements and before the courts, with the aim of protecting your brand, your model, and the continuity of the franchise system.
Consulting for franchisees
We offer consulting for franchisees analyzing the franchise and the franchisor company before signing, reviewing and negotiating the contract to avoid abusive or restrictive clauses. We also advise you during the term of the agreement to protect your rights, solve common problems (such as online or passive sales) and, if there is a conflict, negotiate and defend your interests against the franchisor, including in court.

Frequently Asked Questions
A franchise consulting service helps structure and protect the relationship between franchisor and franchisee. If you are a franchisor, the viability of the model and the documentation are worked on to grow safely. If you are a franchisee, the franchise is analyzed and the contract is reviewed so that you understand what you are signing, what risks you assume, and how your rights are protected.
The most recommended thing is to do it before signing or delivering amounts, because that is when you can still negotiate key conditions and avoid disproportionate obligations. A franchise consulting service allows you to detect critical points of the contract, clarify common limitations, and make a decision with real information, reducing the risk of subsequent conflicts.
We review the contract clause by clause to identify conditions that may limit you excessively (for example, operational restrictions, penalties, exclusivities, duration, or causes of resolution). In practice, the franchise consulting focuses on you understanding the scope of each obligation and on negotiating adjustments that make the agreement balanced and sustainable.
Yes. Consulting for franchises is not only useful for signing: it also covers incidents during the term of the contract, such as disputes over sales channels (online/passive), interpretation of obligations, breaches, or tensions in the relationship. First, a negotiated solution is sought and, if this is not possible, the defense of your interests is considered through formal channels, including judicial ones.
