Franchising involves a business owner granting others the right to use their established business model and brand identity. The franchising model can be flexible and a possibly lucrative endeavour. However, if you are interested in franchising, it is essential to consider whether franchising is the right way to grow your business. This article will explain which types of businesses are franchisable and the ideal qualities your business should have before franchising. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is There a Right \u2018Type\u2019 of Business for Franchising? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is no particular type of business that suits franchising more than others. However, some businesses are better prepared than others and contain qualities that can increase the franchise\u2019s success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each type of franchised business belongs to one of three categories. The following table explains these categories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type<\/strong><\/td>Explanation <\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Product distribution franchise<\/td>The franchisee obtains the right to distribute or sell the franchisor\u2019s products to customers. Generally, with this franchise model, the franchisee operates under their branding<\/a>, not the franchisor\u2019s. The difference between product franchising and regular supplier contracts is that the franchisee will often only stock the franchisor\u2019s product. For example, car franchises will sell the cars of the franchised brand but operate under their name and branding. <\/td><\/tr>
Business format franchise <\/a><\/td>This is the most popular type of franchise model. The business format franchise involves the franchisor providing franchisees with a complete package. Franchisees will operate under the franchised business\u2019 name and branding, often using the same business model, suppliers, and equipment. The franchisee will manage their employees. <\/td><\/tr>
Management franchise <\/a><\/td>This franchise model is similar to the business format franchise. However, in management franchises, the franchisee is more of an overseeing manager than somebody actively involved in the business\u2019 daily operations. The level of involvement of management model franchisees varies from franchise to franchise. <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
