Ba c k g r o u n d a n d h is t o r y

b-met was founded in 2006 and is now the longest established foreign owned transport/

airport transfer business in Andalucia.

Operating minibuses in the Malaga region, we have gained a reputation for reliability and excellent

customer service and our company has grown rapidly throughout the recession.

We have now developed a franchise opportunity which will enable the right candidates to reproduce

our success in their designated region.

The airport transfer industry has

seen enormous growth over

the past decade as travellers

become more independent

and have been led away from

traditional package holidays.

As a holiday destination, Spain

continues to be extremely

popular. 130 million passengers

flew in and out of Spanish

resorts last year, a rise of 2%

on the previous year. This is

despite the recession. You can

imagine the huge opportunity

that this represents.

Most passengers now book

their flights on the internet and

b-met offer them the opportunity

to plan all their transportation

in advance and usually with an

English speaking driver.

Our customers prefer the fixed

rates which we offer avoiding

unpleasant haggling with local

taxi drivers.

Also, families are now very

safety-concious and are

increasingly aware that unlike

us, Spanish taxis do not offer

child seats.

We have also benefited from

the change in tourism trends

towards group holidays. A large

proportion of our custom is

made up of golfers, all male and

all female groups who often visit

us two or three times a year for

long weekends.

Our services are particularly

useful for customers arriving

with sports equipment e.g.

golf bags, for whom multiple

taxis would work out as a very

expensive option.

There are 49 airports in Spain, (half of which could be

considered major sites) and we are confident that our success

here in Malaga could be reproduced in any of these areas. The

franchisee would be investing in an already proven business

concept and would benefit from the large corporate customer

base and the strong relationship that b-met Malaga has forged

with numerous travel agents and golf tour operators.

b-met is the only British transport franchise available in

Spain and it offers a unique opportunity to existing expatriate

residents or anyone looking to move to Spain and run their own

business.

b-met has enlisted BFA (British Franchise Association)

approved professional consultants to be sure that every

element of the franchise meets with their stringent guidelines

and therefore protects both the franchiser and the franchisee.

We are very ambitious here at b-met and we are keen for

our brand to be recognised throughout Spain as the leading

transfer provider. We are looking for enthusiastic and hardworking people who are interested in sharing this common goal

and who would have a similar attitude towards standards of

service and work ethic to us here at b-met.

We are the only transport franchise available

in Spain, a country renowned for its massive

tourism industry. This represents a huge

opportunity and our success is the proof of this

growing demand.

Setting up a new business in a foreign country

can be a long and arduous process and no

more so than in Spain, and not everybody is

successful.

Unlike many businesses, the b-met franchise

format has been designed to be as simple and

straightforward as possible. It can therefore be

managed by most people with the right attitude,

the right training and a willingness to learn.

Most importantly the b-met franchise is a solid

business with long term potential, which means

that you and your family can be assured of a

secure future in Spain.

W h a t d o e s b -m e to f f e r ?

The b-met franchise offers all of the initial

training and support that you need to get your

business off to a good start. The first twelve

months of any business are crucial, and our

comprehensive franchise support services

include:

Use of our b-met corporate identity;

Pre-opening support to assist in

establishing your business;

Purchasing of Spanish Transport Licenses

(crucial if you want to run a transport-

related business in Spain);

An in-depth induction training programme;

Comprehensive local launch;

Marketing and promotional launch including

advertising and PR;

Ongoing advice and support to help you

run the business effectively;

Access to our in-depth knowledge and

experience;

Business operating manual (containing

details of our operating systems,

marketing and administration etc.);

Initial stationery pack.

Remember, once you are up and running, we

will be there to support you at all times.

W h a t q u a l i t ie s w i l l I n ee d ?We are looking for people with either direct

business experience or with the drive, flair and

entrepreneurial spirit necessary to establish and run

a successful business.

It will be as much about your character and

personality as it will about your business skills. This

is a long term relationship and we need to be able

to work well together.

You will be ambitious, energetic and hard working,

with pride and commitment to service quality.

You will be sales focused, attentive to detail and

organised, appreciative of the need to develop your

business and focused on good service as a means

of building business levels.

As a franchisee you will need to be enthusiastic about

living and working in Spain. This may mean moving your

family to a completely new location. If that’s what you

want, then we can help. Running a transport business is

not to be taken lightly and potential franchisees must not

underestimate the amount of hard work and dedication

that will be required. A PCV (Passenger Carrying Vehicle)

license will be required. This test can be taken in the UK

in English and is a fairly simple test.

In addition, there will be the necessary investment. It

is difficult to raise funds here in Spain (without Spanish

property ownership) so we recommend that necessary

funds be raised in the UK. Once these key issues have

been dealt with, you are then in a position to look at b-met

as a serious business option.

W h a t i s m y r o le i n t h eb u s i n e s s ?

The b-met franchisee will be responsible for the

delivery of all services. You will be responsible

for dealing with customer enquiries and bookings

etc. and in the early days we envisage franchisees

doing some of the driving themselves. Franchisees

will be responsible for the management of the

business on a day-to-day basis. There is also an

accounts and administration role which you will

need to deal with effectively to ensure that the

business is run smoothly.

We will provide the help and training necessary

in the day-to-day delivery of services and it is

important for franchisees to remember that whilst

they are in business for themselves, they are not

by themselves!

Everyone is allocated a defined,

protected area. Each franchise operates

near a specified airport. Only one

franchise will be allowed per airport,

which means that franchisees have

the opportunity to build a substantial

business over the long term.

We have developed detailed financial

models based upon our own experiences

which will indicate income potential.

Our management fee is a fixed fee as

opposed to the usual 10% as we feel

that in the ‘cash culture’ that is Spain,

this is the fairest and most realistic to

implement. Please see our financial

models attached.
