What is franchising?
“A franchise operation is a contractual relationship between the franchisor and franchisee in which the franchisor offers or is obliged to maintain a continuing interest in the business of the franchisee in such areas as know-how and training; wherein the franchisee operates under a common trade name, format and/or procedure owned or controlled by the franchisor, and in which the franchisee has or will make a substantial capital investment in his business from his own resources.”

A product distribution franchise model is very much like a supplier-dealer relationship.
Typically, the franchisee merely sells the franchisor’s products. However, this type of franchise will also include some form of integration of the business activities.
