ABOUT US
About RK Franchise Consultancy, Inc.
RK Franchise Consultancy boasts a rich history spanning over a decade, with its roots tracing back to its inception in Cebu in 1995. Initially focused on marketing international franchise companies for master franchising within the Philippines, the company’s journey took a significant turn in 1996 when it began nurturing homegrown businesses. Thirsty?, a venture specializing in fresh fruit juices and shakes, became their first client, marking the starting point of a lasting partnership built on trust. A decade later, this partnership led to RK Franchise Consultancy’s involvement in developing the Mooon Café franchise for the same client.
In April 1999, the company relocated its headquarters to Manila, establishing its presence in the Pacific Star Building in Makati. Subsequent moves took them to Illinois Street in Cubao and, in November 2004, to their current 180-square-meter office in Minnesota Mansion on Ermin Garcia Street, Cubao, Quezon City. Presently, RK Franchise Consultancy is powered by a team of 18 dedicated professionals.
To date, RK Franchise Consultancy has successfully developed more than 900 Filipino and foreign companies into robust franchise systems, collectively representing over 60,000 franchisees. Notably, 60 of the Filipino franchisors under their guidance have expanded their franchises beyond Philippine borders.
Since 2000, RK Franchise Consultancy has co-organized the annual Cebu Franchise Expo, Iloilo Franchise Expo, and Mindanao Franchise Expo. Additionally, the company actively participates in various events and expos.
Their relentless commitment to excellence has earned RK Franchise Consultancy recognition from prestigious institutions such as the Consumer League of the Philippines, The Parangal ng Bayan Foundation, and the Global Brands Award. Complementing their consultancy work, RK conducts educational seminars in schools and SM Global Pinoy Centers across the country. The year 2012 saw them being honored with the Outstanding Professional Award by Superbrand Marketing International. They are integral founding members of the Filipino International Franchise Association (FIFA) and have been affiliated with the Philippine Franchise Association (PFA) since 1997. Furthermore, they are active members of the World Franchise Consultants network.
RK Franchise Consultancy plays a pivotal role as the co-publisher and editorial entity of FranchisingPH magazine, a publication available every two months in restaurants, salons, SM Global Pinoy Centers, and online at franchisingph.com
