The meaning of Franchise

A franchise is a retail outlet owned by independent, third party operators through which a company distributes its products or services. The independent operator does business using the marketing methods, trademarked goods and services and the „goodwill” (know how) and name recognition developed by the company. In exchange, the independent operator pays an initial fee and royalties to the owner of the franchise.
The company that grants the independent operator the right to distribute its trademarks, products, or techniques is known as the franchiser. The independent, third party business person distributing the franchiser’s products or services through retail or service outlets is called the franchisee. (Source: http://www.statelawyers.com)
