2. Evolution of Franchising
The concept of Franchising as we know today 1st started in
Germany in 1840.
In 1851, Singer Sewing Machine Co. began granting
distribution franchises for its sewing machines. Thus began
the modern concept of franchising.
The root word “Franchise” comes from old French meaning
privilege/ freedom. In middle ages a franchise was a privilege/
a right.
Essentially a marketing concept, Franchising is an innovative
method of distributing goods and services.
3. Legal definition of Franchise:
Black’s Law Dictionary 7th edition
1999 defines Franchise as, “the sole
right granted by the owner of a
trademark or trade name to engage in
business or to sell a good or service in
certain area.”

15. CAREFUL THINGS IN FRANCHISING
The franchisee is not completely independent.
In addition to the initial franchise fee, franchisee must pay ongoing
royalties and advertising fees.
Franchisee must be able to balance restrictions and support provided
by the franchisor with their own ability to manage the business
A damaged image or franchise system can result if other franchisees
perform poorly or the franchisor has financial problems.
The duration of a franchise is usually limited and the franchisee may
have little or no say concerning termination
16. ADVANTAGES OF FRANCHISING
Your business is based on a proven idea. You can check how successful
other franchises are before committing yourself.
You can use a recognized brand name and trade marks. You benefit
from any advertising or promotion by the owner of the franchise - the
'franchisor'.
The franchisor gives you support - usually including training, help
setting up the business, a manual telling you how to run the business
and ongoing advice.
You usually have exclusive rights in your territory. The franchisor won't
sell any other franchises in the same territory.
Financing the business may be easier. Banks are sometimes more
likely to lend money to buy a franchise with a good reputation.
17. DISADVANTAGES OF FRANCHISING
Costs may be higher than you expect. As well as the initial costs of
buying the franchise, you pay continuing management service fees
and you may have to agree to buy products from the franchisor.
The franchise agreement usually includes restrictions on how you run
the business. You might not be able to make changes to suit your local
market.
The franchisor might go out of business.
Other franchisees could give the brand a bad reputation.
You may find it difficult to sell your franchise - you can only sell it to
someone approved by the franchisor.
All profits are shared with the franchiser
