What is Franchising?


According to the International Franchising Association, Franchising is a marketing method in which the owner of a product or service, known as the “franchiser”, offers the right to operate and manage his product & service to others, the “franchisees”, in return for a fee and ongoing royalty payments.

Benefits of Franchising
  • Often, no previous experience required.
  • You are in business for yourself, but not by yourself.
  • You become part of a “proven system”
  • You receive on-going training and support
  • Access to product and equipment
