With six units inaugurated in the first half of 2024, the company is launching a pioneering business model in which franchisees can earn an average of R$180,000 per year with an initial investment of R$58,000 and a payback period of 18 months.
São Paulo, June 2024 – Skyone, a unified platform to simplify routines and boost business productivity, announces a new distribution channel for products and services: the 'Skyone Franchises ' project. Establishing a model that is still unprecedented in the sector and aiming to increase geographic coverage and penetration in specific markets, the company aims to implement 25 franchises by the end of 2024, having already signed 6 contracts in the cities of Fortaleza (CE), Maringá (PR), Maceió (AL), Salvador (BA), Taubaté (SP), and São Paulo (SP), in the north and south zones of the city.
Today, in Brazil, we find a huge variety of traditional software franchises, reflecting the need for companies to digitize their operations. However, recent studies indicate that demand is shifting towards advanced technological solutions. It was precisely by recognizing this new need and, at the same time, a vast entrepreneurial opportunity among the 1.5 million IT professionals working in the Brazilian market that the Skyone franchise emerged. The initiative aims not only at the geographic expansion of the company, but also at boosting the sector and promoting entrepreneurship in Brazil, which often suffers from a lack of incentives.
Unlike software franchises, the project's innovative approach redefines boundaries by bringing technology franchises focused on cloud computing, data, and cybersecurity. And the pioneering scale-up does this by offering a unique combination: sharing its expertise and the Skyone platform with entrepreneurs who want to enter this universe without needing a technical team.
“The opening of six franchises in the first half of 2024 represents an important milestone in our expansion strategy, consolidating our position as pioneers in the franchising model with Cloud Computing, Data and Cybersecurity products,” highlights Robson Del Fiol, Director of Channels and Franchises at Skyone. “The launch of this project, which primarily aims to expand our coverage area with regional franchises, reinforces our commitment to being leaders in providing technological solutions to simplify routines and enhance business productivity through a single platform,” adds the executive.
Skyone franchise models
The project presents three formats, called "Skyone Franchise" at levels I, II, and III, through which franchisees, ranging from sole proprietorships to previously established companies, can offer customers up to 21 products and services available on the franchisor's platform.
Investment values start at R$ 58,000 and present an average annual revenue starting at R$ 180,000, with an average profitability between 30% and 50% and a payback period of 12 to 18 months.
Key aspects of this model include the delimitation of territories for each franchise, rapid implementation (in just 30 days), and the estimated generation of three indirect jobs per unit, potentially reaching around 75 new jobs in the first 12 months.
The project was meticulously developed by professionals with expertise in the market, combining Skyone's internal knowledge with the collaboration of Praxis Business specialists, aiming to guarantee a smooth and successful transition to this new business channel. Furthermore, the company has a presence in the membership base of ABF – the Brazilian Franchising Association – which ensures compliance with the association's guidelines.
“Skyone is launching a new sales channel based on the franchising model, leveraging its consolidated experience and excellent products. With a focus on regional entrepreneurship and a strong partnership culture, the company anticipates great success for this initiative. Franchising in Brazil, the 4th largest in the world, gains an innovative addition with Skyone,” comments Adir Ribeiro, CEO of Praxis Business.
