Franchise Explained
A franchise is when a company (franchisor) gives the opportunity to operate its business system and brand in a specific location to a separate company (franchisee). A franchise agreement sets out the rules and how to operate.
A franchisee will pay an initial franchise fee to purchase the franchise. They will receive comprehensive training and help to set up and run the business. There will also be an ongoing monthly management service fee to cover the central marketing costs, support and development of the business system.
Its a great way for you to start and run your own business but with less risk as you’ll follow a tried and tested formula.
