What is a Franchise?
A franchise is a business model where a franchisor grants a franchisee the rights to operate a business using the franchisor’s established brand, products, and operational system. The franchisor is the original business that owns the brand and system, while the franchisee is the individual or entity that purchases the right to operate a branch of the franchisor’s business.
In return, the franchisee pays fees and agrees to follow the franchisor’s guidelines. This arrangement allows the franchisee to benefit from the brand’s reputation and support, while the franchisor expands their business footprint.
