Adopting a franchise system business growth strategy for the sale and distribution of goods and services minimizes the franchisor's capital investment and liability risk. </p><p>Franchising is rarely an equal partnership, especially in the typical arrangement where the franchisee is an individual, unincorporated partnership or small privately held corporation, as this will ensure the franchisor has substantial legal and/or economic advantages over the franchisee. The usual exception to this rule is when the prospective franchisee is also a powerful corporate entity controlling a highly lucrative location and/or captive market (for example, a large sports stadium) in which prospective franchisors must then compete to exclude one another from. However, under specific circumstances like transparency, favourable legal conditions, financial means and proper market research, franchising can be a vehicle of success for both a large franchisor and a small franchisee. </p><p>Thirty-six countries have laws that explicitly regulate franchising, with the majority of all other countries having laws which have a direct or indirect effect on franchising.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Franchising is also used as a <a href="/wiki/Foreign_market_entry_modes" title="Foreign market entry modes">foreign market entry mode</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Franchising&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The boom in franchising did not take place until after <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>. Nevertheless, the rudiments of modern franchising date back to the <a href="/wiki/Middle_Ages" title="Middle Ages">Middle Ages</a> when landowners made franchise-like agreements with <a href="/wiki/Tax_collector" title="Tax collector">tax collectors</a>, who retained a percentage of the money they collected and turned the rest over.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The practice ended around 1562 but spread to other endeavors.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For example, in <a href="/wiki/Early_modern_Britain#Early_Stuart_era:_1603–1660" title="Early modern Britain">17th-century England</a> franchisees were granted the right to sponsor <a href="/wiki/Marketplace" title="Marketplace">markets</a> and <a href="/wiki/Fair#History" title="Fair">fairs</a> or operate <a href="/wiki/Ferry" title="Ferry">ferries</a>. There was little growth in franchising, though, until the mid-19th century, when it appeared in the United States for the first time. </p><p>One of the first successful American franchising operations was started by an enterprising druggist named <a href="/wiki/John_Pemberton" class="mw-redirect" title="John Pemberton">John S. Pemberton</a>. In 1886, he concocted a beverage comprising <a href="/wiki/Sugar" title="Sugar">sugar</a>, <a href="/wiki/Molasses" title="Molasses">molasses</a>, <a href="/wiki/Spice" title="Spice">spices</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Cocaine" title="Cocaine">cocaine</a>. Pemberton licensed selected people to bottle and sell the drink, which was an early version of what is now known as <a href="/wiki/Coca-Cola" title="Coca-Cola">Coca-Cola</a>. His was one of the earliest—and most successful—franchising operations in the United States. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Singer_Corporation" title="Singer Corporation">Singer Company</a> implemented a franchising plan in the 1850s to distribute its sewing machines. The operation failed, though, because the company did not earn much money even though the machines sold well. The dealers, who had exclusive rights to their territories, absorbed most of the profits because of deep discounts. Some failed to push Singer products, so competitors were able to outsell the company. Under the existing contract, Singer could neither withdraw rights granted to franchisees nor send in its own salaried representatives. So, the company started repurchasing the rights it had sold. The experiment proved to be a failure. That may have been one of the first times a franchisor failed, but it was by no means the last. <a href="/wiki/Colonel_Harland_Sanders" class="mw-redirect" title="Colonel Harland Sanders">Colonel Harland Sanders</a> did not initially succeed in his early efforts at franchising <a href="/wiki/Kentucky_Fried_Chicken" class="mw-redirect" title="Kentucky Fried Chicken">Kentucky Fried Chicken</a>. Still, the Singer venture did not put an end to franchising. </p><p>Other companies attempted franchising in one form or another after the Singer experience. For example, several decades later, <a href="/wiki/General_Motors" title="General Motors">General Motors</a> established a somewhat successful franchising operation in order to raise capital. Perhaps the father of modern franchising, though, is <a href="/wiki/Louis_K._Liggett" title="Louis K. Liggett">Louis K. Liggett</a>. In 1902, Liggett invited a group of druggists to join a "drug cooperative". As he explained to them, they could increase profits by paying less for their purchases, especially if they set up their own manufacturing company. His idea was to market private label products. About 40 druggists pooled $4,000 of their own money and adopted the name <a href="/wiki/Rexall" title="Rexall">Rexall</a>. Sales soared, and Rexall became a franchisor. The chain's success set a pattern for other franchisors to follow. </p><p>Although many business owners did affiliate with cooperative ventures of one type or another, there was little growth in franchising until the early 20th century, and in whatever form franchising existed, it looked nothing like what it is today. As the United States shifted from an agricultural to an industrial economy, manufacturers licensed individuals to sell automobiles, trucks, gasoline, beverages, and a variety of other products. The franchisees did little more than selling the products, though. The sharing of responsibility associated with contemporary franchising arrangement did not exist to a great extent. Consequently, franchising was not a growth industry in the United States. </p><p>It was not until the 1960s and 1970s that people began to take a close look at the attractiveness of franchising. The concept intrigued people with entrepreneurial spirit. However, there were serious pitfalls for investors, which almost ended the practice before it became truly popular. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Pizza_Hut_(SM_City_BF_Para%C3%B1aque_branch)_storefront.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a8/Pizza_Hut_%28SM_City_BF_Para%C3%B1aque_branch%29_storefront.jpg/220px-Pizza_Hut_%28SM_City_BF_Para%C3%B1aque_branch%29_storefront.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a8/Pizza_Hut_%28SM_City_BF_Para%C3%B1aque_branch%29_storefront.jpg/330px-Pizza_Hut_%28SM_City_BF_Para%C3%B1aque_branch%29_storefront.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a8/Pizza_Hut_%28SM_City_BF_Para%C3%B1aque_branch%29_storefront.jpg/440px-Pizza_Hut_%28SM_City_BF_Para%C3%B1aque_branch%29_storefront.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1600" data-file-height="1200" /></a><figcaption>A <a href="/wiki/Pizza_Hut" title="Pizza Hut">Pizza Hut</a> franchise at the <a href="/wiki/SM_Supermalls#Locations" title="SM Supermalls">SM City BF</a> in <a href="/wiki/Para%C3%B1aque" title="Parañaque">Parañaque</a>, <a href="/wiki/Philippines" title="Philippines">Philippines</a> in 2014</figcaption></figure> <p>The United States is a leader in franchising, a position it has held since the 1930s when it used the approach for fast-food restaurants, food inns and, slightly later, motels at the time of the <a href="/wiki/Great_Depression" title="Great Depression">Great Depression</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As of 2005, there were 909,253 established franchised businesses, generating $880.9 billion of output and accounting for 8.1 percent of all private, non-farm jobs.

Agreements typically last from five to thirty years, with premature cancellations or terminations of most contracts bearing serious consequences for franchisees. A franchise is merely a temporary business investment involving renting or leasing an opportunity, not the purchase of a business for the purpose of ownership.

The franchisor is involved in securing protection for the trademark, controlling the business concept and securing <a href="/wiki/Know-how" class="mw-redirect" title="Know-how">know-how</a>. The franchisee is obligated to carry out the services for which the trademark has been made prominent or famous. There is a great deal of standardization required. The place of service has to bear the franchisor's signs, logos and trademark in a prominent place. The uniforms worn by the staff of the franchisee have to be of a particular design and color. The service has to be in accordance with the pattern followed by the franchisor in the successful franchise operations. Thus, franchisees are not in full control of the business, as they would be in retailing. </p><p>A service can be successful if equipment and supplies are purchased at a fair price from the franchisor or sources recommended by the franchisor. A coffee brew, for example, can be readily identified by the trademark if its raw materials come from a particular supplier. If the franchisor requires purchase from her stores, it may come under <a href="/wiki/Anti-trust_legislation" class="mw-redirect" title="Anti-trust legislation">anti-trust legislation</a> or equivalent laws of other countries.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> So, too, with purchases such as the uniforms of personnel and signs, as well as the franchise sites, if they are owned or controlled by the franchisor. </p><p>The franchisee must carefully negotiate the license and must develop a marketing or business plan with the franchisor. The fees must be fully disclosed and there should not be any hidden fees. The start-up costs and working capital must be known before the license is granted. There must be assurance that additional licensees will not crowd the "territory" if the franchise is worked according to plan. The franchisee must be seen as an independent merchant. It must be protected by the franchisor from any trademark infringement by third parties. A franchise attorney is required to assist the franchisee during negotiations.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Often the training period – the costs of which are in great part covered by the initial fee – is too short in cases where it is necessary to operate complicated equipment, and the franchisee has to learn on their own from instruction manuals. The training period must be adequate, but in low-cost franchises it may be considered expensive. Many franchisors have set up corporate universities to train staff online. This is in addition to providing literature, sales documents and email access. </p><p>Also, franchise agreements carry no guarantees or <a href="/wiki/Warranty" title="Warranty">warranties</a> and the franchisee has little or no recourse to legal intervention in the event of a dispute. Franchise contracts tend to be unilateral and favor of the franchisor, who is generally protected from lawsuits from their franchisees because of the non-negotiable contracts that franchisees are required to acknowledge, in effect, that they are buying the franchise knowing that there is risk, and that they have not been promised success or profits by the franchisor. Contracts are renewable at the sole option of the franchisor. Most franchisors require franchisees to sign agreements that mandate where and under what law any dispute would be litigated. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2

Franchising is described in doctrine and has several essential components such as; the independence of the franchisee from the franchisor, the use of know-how and the uniformity of product and services, standard use of the brand and logo, payment of a royalty fee, increasement of sales by the franchisee and continuity. Franchising may be for a determined or undetermined period of time. The undetermined one can only be annulled either by a notice before a reasonable amount of time or by a just cause. The franchising agreement with a determined time period ends within the end of the time period if not specified otherwise in the agreement.

The Minister for Industry and the Regions, Margaret Hodge, conducted hearings but saw no need for any government regulation of franchising with the advice that government regulation of franchising might lull the public into a false sense of security. Mr Mark Prisk MP suggested that the costs of such regulation to the franchisee and franchisor could be prohibitive and would in any case provide a system which mirrored the work already being completed by the BFA. The Minister for Industry and the Regions indicated that if due diligence were performed by the investors and the banks, the current laws governing business contracts in the UK offered sufficient protection for the public and the banks.
