The concept of Franchising is over 150 years old. The legal terms of franchising is defined by two definitions…one, a company provides the rights to sell products or services in a specific territory. Secondly, franchise refers to a two-party contract offered by a chain, and gives rights to operate as an outlet in a particular area, for an initial fee and offers a percentage of the gross sales of the business. The company can also provide the training, marketing, and tools necessary for the start-up of a franchise business.
Research shows that many franchise networks boast of being the first and oldest in the country. Brewing companies in the UK thought their beer was the first franchise. In America, Isaac Singer was credited as the inventor of the franchise industry with his historical sewing machines. Once called “units,” their business concept of operations became very popular, and forged ahead as the recipe for success, and others joined in with their type of expanding businesses and concepts.
More than 500,000 franchise outlets in the United States provide for one-third of all retail sales and services. Franchisees provide more than $1 trillion in revenue annually, according to a report from the Charter Franchise Group.
