What is franchising?

The definition of franchising:

In simple terms, franchising is a business model based on a collaborative partnership between a franchisor and a franchisee. The franchisor has already developed an established business concept, including a recognized brand. As a franchisee, you have the opportunity to benefit from this concept and the existing brand perception. In order to operate under the franchisor’s name and system, a license fee and set-up fee are paid. The franchisee is an independent entrepreneur who receives support from the franchisor, such as know-how, marketing, or financing options.

Key elements of franchising

There are essential elements that outline the structure of this specific business model.

The cornerstone of any franchise is the know-how developed within that system.

The franchisor’s know-how defines the value of the business proposition and makes a franchise business replicable and transferable to independent entrepreneurs working at arm’s length from the franchisor.
