Both PCD franchise and third party manufacturing are popular ways to enter the pharmaceutical business. The right choice depends on your goals and budget.
PCD franchise in brief
You market and distribute an existing company’s products in your area. The company owns the brand and supplies the stock.
Third party manufacturing in brief
A manufacturer produces medicines under your own brand name. You own the brand and are responsible for marketing it.
