Franchising is the most dynamic method of business expansion ever devised. By franchising, many businesses have grown from a handful of units (or even just one unit) to hundreds or sometimes thousands of units within a few years. No other approach even comes close to the market scope and growth rate offered by franchising.

Franchising is a method of marketing and distribution. It works by cloning a successful business. Basically, franchising is an arrangement whereby one party (the franchisor) grants another party (the franchisee) the right to run a business using the trademarks and business system (format) developed by the franchisor. For this right to copy the successful business, the franchisee pays a front-end franchisee fee. The franchisee also pays a franchise royalty, which is a percentage of sales ranging from about 3% to usually not more than 8% of the franchisee revenue.
