What is Franchising?
There are many definitions of Franchising but in essence involves the granting of rights by a company, the franchisor, to a third party, the franchisee, to operate their business system using a common brand and format for promoting, managing and administering the business.
With more than 700 businesses in the UK being run as business format franchises and a wide variety of types of business activity, there is something for everyone. However, it is important to be aware that Franchising is not a guaranteed route to business success.
What are your next steps?
These are just some of the considerations – the next step is to find out more about Franchising by attending one of the Franchise or Business Start Up shows. These are held each year throughout the UK and bring together franchisors, the British Franchise Association (BFA), banks, consultants, solicitors and the franchise publications. Introductory seminars are held during the exhibitions and Franchising seminars are also run throughout the year by Exemplas.
