FRANCHISING
Franchising is a business system in which a company – the franchisor – offers someone – the franchisee – the right to use its trade name and to sell its products.
The benefits of a franchise for a franchisor is that he has to invest relatively little capital in distribution outlets. He also receives an initial payment from the franchisee and percentage of his annual profits.
The franchisee receives the shop furniture in the company style, marketing support, training and commercial advice from the franchisor. Franchisees are their own bosses and have responsibility for running the company. They also don’t need to invest capital in advertising campaigns if the trading name of the franchisor’s business is a well-know one.
