Business
Gulf Franchising Holding Co. KSCC is a Kuwait-based investment and operational holding company engaged primarily in master franchise development, brand licensing, commercial trading, and corporate support services across the Middle East. Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Kuwait City, Kuwait, the company operates by managing company-owned brand locations as well as granting sub-franchise operating rights to commercial partners and entrepreneurs throughout the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. The company organizes its business activities into three principal segments: Investment, Trading, and Food Catering. Its core products and services encompass: master franchise acquisition, brand administration, and sub-franchising licensing programs; food catering, culinary preparation, bakery and confectionery retail, and restaurant operations under brand portfolios including Beit Dickson and Bon Sweets; information technology infrastructure support, hardware maintenance, diagnostics, and computer programming solutions through its subsidiary Computer Troubleshooter Services Company SPC; strategic business advisory, economic consulting, administrative services, and franchise feasibility evaluations through Business Consulting for Administrative and Economic Consultancy Company W.L.L.; and general commercial trading, material procurement, and contracting operations via Al Beena Expo General Trading and Contracting Company W.L.L. Gulf Franchising Holding Co. KSCC serves corporate clients, retail consumers, and regional franchisees across Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, and Oman. In recent corporate developments, the company has focused on structural and operational realignments, including formal amendments to its commercial registration with Kuwaiti regulatory authorities and ongoing compliance disclosures on Boursa Kuwait. The company maintains an authorized and paid-up capital of KWD 4.0 million following balance sheet reorganizations, alongside active regulatory authorizations from the Capital Markets Authority to execute treasury share transactions of up to 10 percent of outstanding equity. Operationally, the firm has continued to streamline its subsidiary expense profile, refine its food catering and retail services footprint in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and optimize its investment portfolio across commercial and consumer service ventures.
