FRANCHISE Meaning and Definition

  1. Franchise refers to a legal and commercial relationship between the owner of a trademark, brand, or business model (the franchisor) and an individual or entity (the franchisee) who is granted the right to operate a business using that trademark or brand. The franchisee pays certain fees or royalties to the franchisor in exchange for this right, along with ongoing support, training, and access to established business systems and practices.

    This business arrangement allows the franchisee to operate under the established brand, benefit from existing market reputation, and tap into a proven business model. However, the franchisee usually operates as an independent business owner, responsible for day-to-day operations, staffing, and sales, while adhering to the franchisor's guidelines and standards.

    Franchises can cover a wide range of industries, including retail, restaurants, services, automotive, and more. The franchisor typically provides initial training and assistance to help the franchisee set up the business successfully. Franchises offer a lower risk option compared to starting an entirely new business, as the franchisee can rely on the success, marketing strategies, and operational expertise of the franchisor.

    In summary, a franchise is a legal and commercial agreement that allows an individual or entity to operate a business using an established trademark or brand, providing support and access to established systems in exchange for fees or royalties.

Etymology of FRANCHISE

The word franchise comes from the Old French term franchise, which originated from the Latin word francus. In Latin, francus indicated freedom, exemption, or privilege. The word evolved in Old French to refer to a particular privilege granted by a lord or ruler to an individual or group.
