What is franchising?
The term 'franchising' can describe some very different business arrangements.
Business format franchise
This is the most common form of franchising. A true business format franchise occurs when the owner of a business (the franchisor) grants a licence to another person or business (the franchisee) to use their business idea - often in a specific geographical area.

The franchisee sells the franchisor's product or services, trades under the franchisor's trade mark or trade name and benefits from the franchisor's help and support.
In return, the franchisee usually pays an initial fee to the franchisor and then a percentage of the sales revenue.
The franchisee owns the outlet they run. But the franchisor keeps control over how products are marketed and sold and how their business idea is used.
Well-known businesses that offer franchises of this kind include Starbucks, Malan, McDonald's and KFC.
