Three basic types of franchising: product franchising: licensing for the right to sell trademarked goods purchased from the franchiser and resold by the franchisee, e.g. car dealers, gasoline stations manufacturing franchising: licensing for the right to produce and distribute products, using supplies purchased from the franchiser, e.g. soft-drink bottling plants business-format franchising: licensing for the right to open a business using the franchiser’s name and format for doing business, e.g. fast food chains

Advantages of franchising: triple benefits of franchising according to the president of the International Franchise Association: “The franchiser wins because he builds a strong foundation for his company. The franchisee wins because he can take advantage of the franchiser’s proven business system. And the general public benefits from the consistency of the product or service.”
