Franchise Your Business
Franchising is a system for the consistent, sustainable replication of a company’s brand. It is based on a contractual relationship between the franchisor and local franchisees who independently manage their businesses to achieve the brand standards established by the franchisor.

SUCCESSFULLY FRANCHISING YOUR BUSINESS
Franchising is about the relationships that the franchisor establishes with its franchisees. Successful franchisors provide their franchisees with proven business systems necessary for them to grow and manage their businesses.
- In a franchise, the franchisor licenses its trade name (its brand) and its franchising operating methods (its system of doing business) to its franchisees.
- The franchisee independently operates and manages their business according to the terms of their contract (the Franchise Agreement) with the franchisor.
Great franchisors provide their franchisees with the leadership and support they require, and then enforce the delivery of the system's products and services by its franchisees to its brand guidelines. In exchange for their use of the franchisor’s brand and systems, the franchisee pays the franchisor an initial fee (the franchise fee) and a continuing fee (the royalty), and participates and contributes to the franchise system’s marketing programs (the brand fund) and other programs established by the franchisor.
