The research was conducted from a qualitative approach, in which were made twenty and two interviews with franchisors and franchisees, in the period between September and November of 2010. The interviewees were members of the following companies: Água de Cheiro, Antídoto, Contém 1g, Mahogany e O Boticário. The results were that the franchise model is seen by franchisees and franchisors as a good alternative for distribution and capillarity of the brand. However, the franchise model presents some challenges, such as the improvement of the franchisor´s engagement, a better selection process of franchisees, increase financial support, adjust the stores location method and, finally, improve the method for setting royalties. / O objetivo fundamental deste trabalho foi investigar e entender quais são os desafios para que o modelo de franquias possa crescer ainda mais e adquirir maior representatividade enquanto modelo de distribuição no setor de perfumaria e cosméticos brasileiro. Para isto, utilizou-se, além de uma revisão bibliográfica a partir do referencial teórico disponível, uma abordagem qualitativa, segundo a qual foram realizadas vinte e duas entrevistas com franqueados e franqueadores, no período compreendido entre setembro e novembro de 2010. As empresas representadas por estes entrevistados foram: Água de Cheiro, Antídoto, Contém 1g, Mahogany e O Boticário. A realização destas entrevistas revelou que, embora o modelo de franquias seja visto por franqueados e franqueadores como uma boa alternativa para a distribuição de produtos e para o aumento da capilaridade da marca, o modelo de franquias apresenta alguns desafios a serem alcançados, tais como maior participação ativa da rede franqueadora, melhoria no modelo de avaliação e seleção de franqueados, melhor suporte financeiro aos franqueados nos primeiros anos após a abertura da loja, melhor modelo para escolha da localização das lojas e, por fim, melhor modelo para definição de taxas de royalties.
