	Franchising - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Franchising (from the French for free) is a method of doing business wherein a franchisor licenses trademarks and methods of doing business to a franchisee in exchange for a recurring royalty fee.
		A franchise agreement will usually specify the given territory the franchisee can use, as well as the extent to which the franchisee will be supported by the franchisor, such as through training and marketing campaigns.
		As practiced in retailing, franchising offers franchisees the advantage of starting up a new business quickly based on a proven trademark and formula of doing business, as opposed to having to build a new business and brand from scratch (often in the face of aggressive competition from franchise operators).

		This does not mean, however, that the franchise agreement should be one-sided by recording all the rights of the franchisor whilst placing all the obligations on the franchisee.
		The franchise agreement will explain the terms of the franchise relationship, identify the contracting parties and describe what the grant of the franchise entails.
		The term of the franchise agreement typically extends over five to ten years, usually linked to an option in favour of the franchisee that the agreement may be extended for a further period.

		Franchisers often require that the franchisee be personally involved in the day-to-day operations of the business and personally guarantee the financial obligations of the business.
		Franchisers generally will not agree to major variations; however, the widely-held notion tha franchise agreements are nonnegotiable is not true.
		The franchise agreement should also obligate the franchiser to indemnify you, the franchisee, from any claims by third parties challenging the validity or use of the trademark.

	US - Franchise relationship is inherently oppressive
		PIP had terminated the 20-year franchise agreement in 1992, eight years before expiration of the franchise agreement, on the basis of the Sealys' persistent delinquency in making payments of royalties and advertising fees.
		The issue of whether a franchisor is entitled to receive lost future profits after franchise termination, when the franchisee is found to be at fault, has long been a subject of speculation nationwide among the franchise bar.
