Attractiveness of Peru for the development of franchise business

The economy of the country is mainly based on exports of copper, gold, zinc, crude petroleum and petroleum products, coffee, potatoes, asparagus, textiles, and fishmeal. Having successfully survived the economic crisis, which happened in 2002, the country is moving forward and ready to attract foreign investments.
The franchise sector in Peru is growing fast and includes 475 companies now. A curious fact that 50% of them are domestic and another half are international franchise companies. The most promising franchise sectors are Food, Health and Beauty, Clothing, Entertainment and Educational services. Shopping centers in Peru attract more than 60 million visitors every month. Which means that a franchise outlet of a foreign brand could be a lucrative business to own in the country.
A franchisor who will decide to operate a business in Peru should pay 30% income tax on royalties plus 18% value-added tax for a local company (import tariffs dependent on the type of goods the franchise company sells).
