1. There are two types of franchise models: business format franchising and product

distribution franchising. The business format franchising type is probably the most well-

known of the two franchise models. In general, the franchise model is a type of

business that is based on a licensing agreement between the franchisor, which is the company that provides the license, and

the franchisee, who is allowed to operate the franchise business with a licensing agreement.

2. The business format franchising model involves using the franchisor’s trademark, trade name,

products, services, and overall business system to operate the business. In addition, the franchisee generally receives assistance from the franchisor

concerning franchise needs such as: training, operating manuals, quality control, brand

standards, marketing strategy, franchise location selection, development support, business advice

support, marketing research and analysis, and employee operational assistance.

3. The product format franchising model, which is sometimes referred to as traditional format franchising, is not as well-known as business

format franchising. However, the product format franchising model usually produces more overall total sales. The focal point is not on the business

system, but primarily on the products manufactured or supplied by the franchisor. Common franchise types that fall under the product format franchising model include gasoline, bottling, automotive, and other

manufacturers.
