Find premises for a franchise: upload the local tipo you already have

The brief you already have is enough

Most franchise networks already have a local tipo, the standard-premises spec each franchisee receives. Claro by Casafari accepts it as it is. You do not need to retype it or fill in a form.

Claro shows what it read as chips: the cities, rent or sale, the size range, the rent ceiling and each technical requirement. Check the chips before the search runs. If one is wrong or missing, correct it in plain words, for example 'make it 100–180 m²' or 'add Murcia'.

Writing the spec is a separate job. The guide on how a franchise defines its local tipo covers the fields and gives a template. If your network has no written spec yet, the expansion brief template is a starting point.

• Formats: PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, plain text, or a photo of the printed sheet (PNG, JPG, WEBP, HEIC).
• Size: up to 10 MB per file.
• Language: any. A spec written in Spanish, Catalan or English is read the same way.
• What Claro read is shown as chips before any result, so nothing is applied out of sight.

Hard requirements filter, wishes rank

A local tipo usually separates requisitos excluyentes (must-haves) from requisitos valorables (nice-to-haves). Claro keeps the same split.

Hard requirements such as the size range, the rent ceiling, street level (a pie de calle) or a licence for a named activity filter the results. Wishes such as 'bright, on a quiet street' rank the results but never filter a premises out.

Each requirement gets its own verdict: met, not met or not stated, with the listing's own sentence or a measured figure as evidence. For the full list of facts Claro reads in a listing, see facts from the listing itself.

• From the listing's own words: shop window, frontage, corner unit, ceiling height, smoke outlet (salida de humos), open plan, step-free access, loading access, licence and the activity it names, traspaso (transfer of the lease and business).
• Phrases the listing must contain.
• Location figures from a Casafari group company, where available: footfall a day, residents within a 10-minute walk or drive, age share, high-income share, spending power.
• Competitors within a distance you set, from 1 to 1,000 m: gym, burger, fast food, coffee, bakery, pharmacy, supermarket, fashion, pizza.

What 'not stated' means on a franchise shortlist

'Not stated' means the listing does not say. It is not a no.

In the example above, step-free access is not stated: the listing neither confirms nor rules it out. Claro never assumes missing information.

A franchisee can visit a premises marked not stated with one question ready for the agency, and skip the ones marked not met. The verdicts in this page's walkthrough are examples, not a real premises.

One spec, many franchisees

The same local tipo runs in every city. Name several cities, a province, or no place at all to search the whole of Spain; Claro applies the same criteria and the same verdicts everywhere. An opening plan across all of Spain works from one brief in the same way.

With access, each premises has a dossier: the verdict per requirement with its evidence, footfall and catchment figures where available, what is nearby, and a link to the agency's own listing. You can compare up to five premises side by side and mark each one shortlist, maybe or no.

The result is a shortlist a franchisee can review requirement by requirement, with the reason each unit is on it.

To keep new units away from existing franchisees, add 'not within 500 m of our own stores'. With access, your store list is uploaded through the API and stays private to your account. On the free search that criterion shows as locked.

• Same spec, same verdicts, in every city you name.
• Dossier, comparison of up to five, and shortlist / maybe / no marks with access.
• Own-store distance with access, from 1 to 1,000 m, straight line.

For the consultants who search for networks

Franchise consultants and agents who search premises for several networks can work from one brief per client and run it again for each new city or phase.

With access, the same search is available as a REST API and an MCP server, with tools to search, refine a search, get a premises, compare premises and explain a location. An internal tool or an AI assistant can run each client's spec and read the evidence behind every verdict.
