This paper in addition to highlighting such vulnerabilities, speaks specifically to developmental considerations, which in the context of a broad policy framework can play a significant role in the strengthening of entities functioning within the services economy, but more specifically emphasizes the need to quickly adopt an integrative approach to structured growth of the sector through the establishment and actualization of systems, technical programs and other practical measures at the organizational level.

This Concept Paper on the development of franchising of services within the CARICOM Single Market and Economy has been prepared in accordance with the “Guidelines and Expected Outcomes”  of a Contract of Service between G. L. Sydney Simmons of No. 11 Hope Park, St. George, Barbados, and the CARICOM Secretariat.
