The word “franchise” comes from the French language and means privilege or freedom. In a sense, franchising offers people the freedom to own, manage and direct their own business. While starting a business can be a lonely challenge, franchising offers people the opportunity to be in business for themselves, but not by themselves. The franchisee owns his/her own business, but the franchisor remains in the picture, providing ongoing training, strategic direction and field support.

The franchisor has developed a proven business formula and brand that it wants to grow further by granting franchises.

The franchisee is a person that seeks a business opportunity that will provide ongoing support.

For the Franchisor Do you have an existing business that you would like to franchise? Or do you have an existing franchised network that you would like to improve?
