Q		What is franchising? How does it work?
A		Simply put, franchising is a way for a business to expand beyond its original owners. The most common form of franchising is a business format franchise, where the franchisor contributes certain elements of the business and the franchisee contributes certain elements. The power of franchising is realized through the combination of the contributions from the two participants. Franchisees pay initial franchise fees and then ongoing royalties for access to the format the franchisor has developed and for ongoing enhancements to the system. The franchisor contribution will include the brand/trademark for the concept, the business system (commonly called the operating system), and initial and ongoing support as the franchisee builds his or her business. The franchisee contribution involves the management skills to run the business day-to- day using the franchisor-provided brand and system, and capital to fund the opening and continued operations of the business. In addition, the franchisee brings a level of desire and interest in having the business succeed that is essential to franchising – and is something the franchisor can't replicate on its own. There is a contract - called the Franchise Agreement - signed by both parties that governs the relationship between the franchisor and franchisee and explains in detail the responsibilities of both sides. The franchisor is required to provide a copy of the Franchise Agreement and this contract will provide a roadmap for the duration of time the agreement is effective.
