This paper focus on identifying the effects of several variables on the international expansion pursued by Spanish franchise service chains. These include: management and franchising experience, brand awareness, the international franchise ratio as well as franchisor’s size. This study is based on a survey of 125 franchisors doing business in 44 foreign countries. Findings allow us to conclude that franchising experience; together with brand awareness and company size are significantly associated with (i) the number of countries where the chain has a presence; (ii) the number of outlets abroad, and (iii) the years the chain has been operating overseas.
