What is franchising?
At its core, franchising is very simple. It is a business model where a company (the franchisor) grants an individual or entity (the franchisee) the right to operate a business using its brand, products, and operational methods. In exchange for these rights and support, the franchisee makes an initial investment and pays ongoing fees. This arrangement allows the franchisor to expand its brand presence and revenue, while the franchisee benefits from operating under a recognised brand with a proven business model, marketing support, and training.
Considering investing in a franchise?
If you’ve always wanted to be your own boss then franchising could be the answer! Becoming a franchisee can be a rewarding path to business ownership, with a proven business model, support systems and brand recognition. Sometimes described as a ‘business-in-a-box’, investing in a franchise can help you avoid some of the challenges that come with starting a business from scratch.
