Franchise Guide - What is a Franchise?

Franchising first became a recognised force in Ireland during the 1970’s.

A 2004 survey carried out by the NatWest Bank and the British Franchise Association stated that the overall turnover of the franchising industry last year is estimated at £9.65 billion and that the overall number of business format franchising systems had grown to 665 an increase of 3.6%.

The 27,000 individual franchised units in the UK are giving total employment in the sector to more than 330,000 people. This makes franchising larger than the whole energy sector and almost as big as the whole of the armed forces.

’Franchising’ has been used to describe many different forms of business relationships, including licensing, distributor and agency arrangements. The more regularly accepted use of the term has arisen from the growth of what is called ’business format franchising.’

Business format franchising is the granting of a license by one person (the franchisor) to another (the franchisee), entitling the franchisee to conduct business under the trade mark/trade name of the franchisor and to make use of a commercial package of all the elements necessary to allow a previously untrained person in the business to run it with assistance in a formularised way.
