We are a
conglomerate of companies
Centroamerican Consulting and Capital (3C Group) is a conglomerate of companies ranging from startups to large corporations. Our most important assets are in retail and wholesale pharmaceuticals. Together, our companies represent the largest pharmacy chain in the region. We also operate in the distribution of mass consumer goods, agriculture, real estate, and private education.
We were born as
a consulting company
3C was founded in 2001 as a management consulting firm for the Honduran market. Our original idea was to bring to the region successful business models already operating in economies with a GDP per capita of $10,000 to $15,000 per year, launching a new company each year. Initial funding for the startups came from the founder’s savings, while their growth was financed by the profits generated from consultancies and the sale of the companies once they had reached a significant size.
We evolve
Becoming entrepreneurs
However, we quickly learned that it is more fulfilling and much more profitable to be an entrepreneur than a consultant. Therefore, we decided to forget about the consulting business and started to grow existing businesses beyond the start-up phase, while financing new ventures with the support of the existing business.
We employ 4,000 people
in Central America and the Caribbean
In 2021, our consolidated sales were $800 million and employ approximately 4,000 people in Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean. The company’s equity is owned by the management team, with no external financial investors. This gives us a lot of freedom and allows us to make agile decisions, both in our organic growth and in evaluating investment opportunities.
