1. Where do I begin?

Franchising is a mutually beneficial relationship between two parties. Franchises are a model of business in which a parent company - also known as the franchisor – licenses or trademarks methods, procedures or systems to the business owner – also known as the franchisee. In this ongoing relationship, the franchisor provides a wide range of support to the franchisee in return for a monthly royalty fee paid to the franchisor. When you become a franchisee, you are truly never alone because of the ongoing support provided by the franchise brand.

2. What does a franchising relationship look like?

By law, all franchise brands are required to have a franchise disclosure document (FDD) that outlines the terms of the franchise agreement between the two parties. This legal document can be provided upon request to prospective franchisees and is comprised of 23 different items that explain the company’s history, any fees associated with the agreement, contractual obligations and more. All prospective franchisees are encouraged to explore this document in great detail before signing their franchise agreement.

3. What goes into a franchise agreement?

Franchises come in a variety of price ranges. Franchisees have to pay an initial start-up investment, franchise fee and royalty fees. Aspiring franchisees are encouraged to their own research to determine if they can afford the investment.
