Costs can vary from one franchise to another. The amount a franchisor might expect you to pay<\/a> on an ongoing basis can depend on many factors. These factors include the age and size of the franchised brand, its marketing and advertising needs, and the amount the franchisor expects in exchange for access to its brand name and trademarks.
