The National Program to Combat Commercial Concealment clarified that the total number of franchised branches in the automotive maintenance sector reached 621 branches. These branches are granted franchising units to entrepreneurs and investors by 12 different brands through the Commercial Franchise Center platform, which is affiliated with the Small and Medium Enterprises General Authority (Monsha’at). The program mentioned that the franchising brands own 77 branches across the kingdom, providing franchisees with various services such as training, rehabilitation, consultation, financing, logistical and technical support, and more.

The initiative aims to combat commercial concealment, increase the number of franchising brands in the sector, and enhance the benefits for entrepreneurs and investors. The initiative targets franchising brands in the automotive sector, entrepreneurs, and investors, with the goal of preparing franchising brands for commercial franchising, attracting entrepreneurs and investors to take advantage of franchising opportunities, providing training and rehabilitation to meet labor market needs, and offering necessary financing to support and empower entrepreneurs and investors for business expansion.
