Franchising
A franchise (or franchising) is a method of distributing products or services involving a franchisor, who establishes the brand’s trademark or trade name and a business system, and a franchisee, who pays a royalty and often an initial fee for the right to do business under the franchisor’s name and system. The practice of creating and distributing brand and franchise systems is most often referred to as franchising.
There are two different types of franchising relationships. Business Format Franchising is the type most identifiable. In a business format franchise, the franchisor provides to the franchisee not just its trade name, products, and services, but an entire system for operating the business. While less identified with franchising, Product Distribution Franchising is larger in total sales than business format franchising. Examples of traditional or product distribution franchising can be found in bottling, gasoline, automotive, and other manufacturing industries.

The primary advantages for most companies entering the realm of franchising are capital, speed of growth, motivated management, and risk reduction.
Yes, the most important advantage of franchising is that it allows you to achieve multi-unit expansion of your business.
Expansion requires capital for the development and operation of new locations. Franchisees will be investing their own capital, including savings, loans, and 401K rollovers, to fund the development and establishment of new franchised locations.
Expansion requires skilled, trained, and motivated individuals to manage and operate new locations. Franchisees supply the managerial talent needed for new locations and, most importantly, they have a vested interest in the success of the business.
Franchising is all about expansion and replicating business modules, sources of supply, and uniformity of operations. Franchising allows for an increase in purchasing power and achieving economies of scale with suppliers and vendors. These can even extend to marketing franchisors and franchisees pool resources and establish common funds.
Franchising essentially creates a new business while benefitting the franchisor at the same time. When franchisees come on board and sign a franchise agreement, they pay an initial franchise fee and also a periodic royalty fee that is typically a percentage of gross sales.
