New Franchise. 

What is franchising?

When we talk about franchising it is basically adopting a pilot business model that is already running. Franchising helps new companies/individuals to benefit from an existing business project that a large company has already implemented.

When a new franchise is set up the franchisor collects the franchisee fee and grants a license to expand this model in return of a license fee. An agreement is signed between the franchisor and franchisee that grants right to the new franchise to duplicate the same model in which the franchisor operates.
