Franchising is a concept that has grown in importance both economically and as a research topic. It has been considered one of the most used topics by retail companies to internationalize. The theory based on resources explains the internationalization of franchising systems as a function of resources owned by the company (resources they have before beginning the process of internationalization), needed jointly with the factor “experience”, and considered enough to enable companies to deal with in the international market. According to the resource theory it is necessary to highlight the development of internal resources before franchisor starts the internationalization. This paper aims to examine two variables related to the resource theory and the intention of managers when they face a strategy of internationalization. These variables are the "age" and the "dimension" of the company. The study uses ANOVA to analyze how age and dimension of a network in the domestic market are related to the intention of internationalization and permits to conclude that younger networks and the ones with a number of franchisees in the "average" number are the ones who reiterate the option for the strategy of internationalization.
