Franchising Equation
Franchising refers to a relationship between the owner of an established business model and/or brand, and an individual or group who wants to use that business model and/or brand in a specific and often exclusive location.
The franchisor provides some margin of protection against the risk of failure through an established and required business approach and the franchisee pays a portion of revenues to the franchisor for this built-in protection and support. The relationship evolves over time each party researching and getting to know the other; shared recognition of shortcomings and differences and, ultimately, productive communication and mutual growth.
