2. The Franchise Business Model
2
• The franchise business model is one that is
advantageous both for the party selling the
business license and for the party buying it.
• Compared to starting a new company, this
option offers a higher degree of security for
the business owner as he will rely on an
already tested business model.

3. The Franchisor and the Franchisee
3
• When opening a franchise in Thailand, the
franchisee (the one acquiring the business
license) is not doing business by himself but
rather he has the support of an already tested
business model and, depending on the
franchisor, he will also have access to training
and support.
• The franchisor is able to expand on a different
market and perpetuate its business model.
