Discusses opportunities for U.S. franchisers and legal requirements in the market.
Last Published: 8/3/2019

There are no specific regulatory laws for franchising. The government of Haiti does not restrict private citizens from establishing franchises. U.S. companies with franchises or affiliated local partners in Haiti include Radio Shack, Federal Express (FedEx), Culligan Water Technologies, Coca Cola, Pepsico, NAPA Auto Parts, Avis Rent-a-Car, Hertz, Dollar, Budget Car Rental, Crowley, Domino's Pizza, Marriott, and Best Western. Still, franchising is relatively new to Haiti with only a few U.S. businesses penetrating the Haitian market.
