Franchise is a system of distributing goods and services. In franchise opportunities one organisation grants the right to another to produce sell or use its developed product, service or brand. The master company is called the franchisor and the other one is called the franchisee. A franchisee is a retailer licensed - franchised - to sell or use the franchisor's products. McDonald's Family Restaurant and KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) chains are examples of franchisors that let various outlets sell their products.

Before you buy a franchise evaluate your personality. Go for the franchise that will suit your physical, mental and financial status. For purchasing an established franchise you will have to pay more for the franchise model.
