About Franchising | FranchisingWorks
Franchising is where the owner of a franchise system (‘the franchisor’) agrees to license the use of its operating systems, brand and other Intellectual Property, and provide training and ongoing support to enable another person (‘the franchisee’) to start up and run an identical business elsewhere. Franchisees of well-established franchise systems benefit from: businesses based on existing models with proven track-records, initial training and ongoing support (which also make franchise businesses more accessible to those without work experience or skills), better access to bank lending to finance the purchase and start-up costs, economies of scale and greater purchasing power that derive from being part of a larger business network.
