Franchising is essentially a marketing concept

A very clever and innovative method of distributing goods and services, and building brand awareness.

Franchising is a business relationship in which the franchisor (someone who owns a business) assigns to independent people (known as franchisees) the right to distribute the franchisor’s goods or services, and to use the Franchisors business name for a fixed period of time.


The unique relationship between Franchisor and Franchisee can also be defined as a “commercial marriage”

The franchisor is able to expand its market presence without using its own capital, and the franchisee gains access to an established business system, at generally lower risk, for their own commercial advantage.

This "commercial marriage" between franchisor and franchisee is ultimately a legal relationship, with the full obligations and responsibilities of both parties outlined in a highly detailed franchise agreement.
