1. There are two types of franchise models: business format franchising and product
distribution franchising. The business format franchising type is probably the most well-
known of the two franchise models. In general, the franchise model is a type of
business that is based on a licensing agreement between the franchisor, which is the company that provides the license, and
the franchisee, who is allowed to operate the franchise business with a licensing agreement.
2. The business format franchising model involves using the franchisor’s trademark, trade name,
products, services, and overall business system to operate the business. In addition, the franchisee generally receives assistance from the franchisor
concerning franchise needs such as: training, operating manuals, quality control, brand
standards, marketing strategy, franchise location selection, development support, business advice
support, marketing research and analysis, and employee operational assistance.
3. The product format franchising model, which is sometimes referred to as traditional format franchising, is not as well-known as business
format franchising. However, the product format franchising model usually produces more overall total sales. The focal point is not on the business
system, but primarily on the products manufactured or supplied by the franchisor. Common franchise types that fall under the product format franchising model include gasoline, bottling, automotive, and other
manufacturers.
