Company overview: Primi by Fresca is a fast-food franchise concept delivering healthy, authentic Italian street food. The brand is built on extensive research of successful franchise models, ensuring a strong and effective operational framework.
- Brand and promoters: Promoted by Fresca – Laboratori di Pasta, which invested over two years in developing the Primi model. The concept draws on insights from industry experts and experienced franchise operators, supported by a professional team with deep understanding of franchising and the food sector.
Business model highlights:
• Operational simplicity – Outlets designed for ease of management, requiring no prior culinary experience.

Average footfall: Locations are positioned in high-traffic areas such as malls and city centers, attracting steady daily patronage. The healthy, fast-service model appeals to a broad demographic seeking quick yet nutritious meals.

• Health-conscious – Focus on fresh, natural ingredients, unlike typical additive-heavy fast food.
• Italian specialty – Unique positioning in pasta-based fast food, distinct from burger- and fry-led competitors.
• Simplified operations – “A kitchen without knives”, without raw materials, there is no transformation of raw materials into products; everything comes pre-portioned and prepared to be cooked, regenerated, heated, or served. This approach reduces labor costs and food waste.
• Strong brand identity – Clear positioning fosters loyalty and repeat customers.
Why invest in Primi?

With these factors combined, Primi offers a compelling franchise opportunity with strong financial performance potential.
This is why, when the location is right, we can achieve an impressive EBITDA of up to 40%.

Company and product: Enbiosis has developed an advanced artificial intelligence algorithm that analyzes the human gut microbiome and recommends personalized food and supplements to individuals to improve their gut health and address chronic disorders such as gastrointestinal disorders, skin-related disorders, and weight loss issues.
- How it works: Patients/customers send their stool samples to any NGS laboratory in their region. Enbiosis takes the raw bacterial DNA data to the local server (to avoid data protection risks) and creates a personalized report, which is sent to patients and, if required, their practitioners within minutes.
- Business model: Enbiosis's microbiome test can be sold through practitioners and/or directly to customers, depending on market dynamics. Practitioners can prescribe the test to patients to generate a personalized diet plan, or patients can follow their personalized nutrition guide through the app to improve general well-being and solve their problems.
- Main differentiation: Enbiosis is the only clinically proven precision diet technology that claims to address the main cause of chronic disorders. It has conducted three clinical trials and published the results in peer-reviewed journals. Enbiosis's claims are backed by scientific evidence.
- The main reason why investors should consider Enbiosis: In recent years, the number of people seeking to address their health problems through alternative methods instead of pharmaceuticals has been increasing. The challenge in alternative medicine is the lack of scientific data. Enbiosis serves as a bridge between alternative medicine and conventional medicine, and there is significant market potential for Enbiosis. For example, Enbiosis has proven the effectiveness of its technology in patients with IBS, who make up about 10% of the population. Offering individuals the opportunity to solve their chronic problems simply by changing their diet within a specific period is something they are interested in and willing to try.
- Additionally, investors/distributors can offer a routine follow-up program to check gut health and prevent any kind of diseases, opening the door to long-term recurring revenue.
- We have a trade registration certificate to operate.
