Advantages of Franchising
As practiced in retailing, franchising offers franchisees the advantage of starting up a new business quickly based on a proven trademark and formula of doing business, as opposed to having to build a new business and brand from scratch (often in the face of aggressive competition from franchise operators). A well run franchise would offer a turnkey business: from site selection to lease negotiation, training, mentoring and ongoing support as well as statutory requirements and troubleshooting.After their brand and formula are carefully designed and properly executed, franchisors are able to expand rapidly across countries and continents, and can earn profits commensurate with their contribution to those societies. Additionally, the franchisor may choose to leverage the franchise to build a distribution network.
Franchisers often offer franchisees significant training, which is not available for free to individuals starting up their own business.
For some consumers, having franchises offer a consistent product or service makes life easier. They know what to expect when entering a franchised establishment.
