What is Franchising?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The basic franchising concept starts with a business owner with a proven business model. This person will become the franchisor. They have developed a set of products, services, systems, and branding that has proven successful in the marketplace and will be looking to expand their brand. The franchisor expands its brand using the franchising model. This means they grant others, the franchisees, the rights to operate business units under the same brand and replicate their business model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
