Franchises and Franchising

Franchising is a business arrangement where a franchisor sells a business idea and methodology or a "franchise business" to a franchisee, who operates the business under the franchisor's name. The franchisee is authorized to use and market goods or services under the franchisor's trademarks, service marks, and trade names for a specific length of time. In exchange for the advantage of not having to start the business from the ground up, the franchisee usually pays the franchisor an up-front fee and a percentage of sales. Each state has its own franchise information regarding the franchise law and regulations governing franchises. Franchising information and law brought to you by lawyers.com.
