PRISA NOTICIAS becomes shareholder of Bucmi

The leading booking platform for beauty and wellness, Bucmi, has completed its third capital increase, involving the fund Onza Capital, Prisa Noticias, and several private investors. The operation, worth 2 million, is the largest yet round of funding for the company. Founded in 2012, the company also enjoys the backing of Wayra, Telefonica’s startup accelerator.

All funds raised will be used to consolidate Bucmi as a national industry leader – with an aggressive business plan to be put in place before jumping into new markets.

In 2015, Bucmi saw its turnover increase tenfold and it exceeded the barrier of 200,000 monthly visitors.

The portal already has more than 3,000 affiliated beauty and wellness centers throughout Spain and Portugal, together offering 40,000 treatments that can be booked online.
