Simply said, franchising is a way to grow a firm and distribute goods and services through a license arrangement. In franchising, the franchisor (a person or business that grants a license to a third party for the conduct of a business under its marks) specifies the goods and services that the franchisees (a person or business that is granted a license by the franchisor to conduct business under its marks) will offer in addition to giving them an operating system, a name, and support.

There are two different types of franchising relationships. Commercial Format Franchising is the form of franchising that the typical individual is most familiar with. In a business-format franchise arrangement, the franchisor offers the franchisee not just its brand name, goods, and services, but also a whole operating system for the enterprise. The franchisor often provides the franchisee with assistance with site selection and development, operational manuals, training, brand standards, quality control, a marketing plan, and business consulting support.

While from the public’s vantage point, franchises look like any other chain of branded businesses, they are very different. In a franchise system, the owner of the brand does not manage and operate the locations that serve consumers/customers/students/faculties and their products and services on a day-to-day basis. The franchisee’s job and duty is to serve the patrons, clients, students, and academic staff. In a legal arrangement known as franchising, a licensor (franchisor) and a licensee (franchisee) share the right to use the licensor’s name and mode of operation in order to sell goods and services to customers. Although every license is a franchise, according to the law, not every license is a franchise. Sometimes that can be very confusing.
