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.

The b-met franchise offers all of the initial

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;

advertising and PR;
Ongoing advice and support to help you
run the business effectively;
Access to our in-depth knowledge and
experience;

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.
