    WHAT IS FRANCHISING?

    Many people think franchising is an industry, but its not, its simply a way ofdoing business. A unique way to distribute independently.

    There are key characteristics in the way all franchise companies do business.

    First and most valuable is the unique, protected trademark. Each franchise

    offers comprehensive training, not just the usual manual and product. There is

    an on-going businessrelationship between the Franchisor, State and Regional

    Licensee and the Franchise Owner. There are tested market plans, operating

    manuals, standards and quality control.

    Within the franchise system there is a lot oftwo-way communication and there

    is a license agreement spelling out the business relationship. If the publicunderstood that franchising is basically only a tried-and-true, tested way ofdoing business, some of the mystery and confusion would disappear.

    The very first company to use a franchise system was the Singer SewingMachine Company in the 1860's. Singer turned to franchising because it was away of spreading inventory costs and establishing a dealer network that could

    service, what was at the time, a fairly sophisticated piece of equipment.

    In 1886, Coca-Cola turned to franchising, as a way of creating a network of

    bottlers that would sell at the wholesale level.

    Then, around the turn of the century, some manufacturers were working on anew invention. This one cost even more than the sewing machine and it

    demanded dealers at a local level who could service the thing. Thesemanufacturers turned to franchising and the automobile has changed the courseof history.

    The automobile dealership and service stations were followed by the major oilcompanies and eventually Holiday Inn, McDonalds and Kentucky Fried

    Chicken.

    Franchising is a form of marketing that gives consumers what they want, whenthey want it, the way they want it ... all at a price they can afford.

    Customers want quality at a reasonable price, franchising with its system-wide

    management controls, provides it. Consumers want consistent quality from a

    name they can trust; franchising, with its quality standards and uniform tradename, gives them just that.
