  • What is the role of a franchisor in a franchise business model?

    -A franchisor, like McDonald's in the script example, issues the rights to own and operate a franchise location to a franchisee, providing a system and guidelines to be followed in running the business.

  • Who is a franchisee and what is their relationship with the franchisor?

    -A franchisee is an individual or entity that signs an agreement with the franchisor, acquiring the rights to own and operate a specific franchise location, such as a McDonald's restaurant.

  • What is the initial cost one might incur when starting a franchise with McDonald's?

    -The initial cost includes an initial franchise fee, which for McDonald's could be around $30,000, and additional costs to get the location open, which can range from a million dollars to two million dollars.

  • What does the franchisee receive for the initial franchise fee?

    -The initial franchise fee, such as the one paid to McDonald's, gives the franchisee the rights to own and operate the franchise system, but does not cover the costs of opening the actual location.

  • What are the ongoing costs a franchisee must pay to the franchisor?

    -A franchisee must pay ongoing costs such as a royalty fee, which is a percentage of sales, and potentially a marketing fund fee to contribute to the franchisor's marketing efforts.

  • What are some benefits of owning a franchise rather than a corporate-owned business?

    -Owning a franchise comes with benefits such as having 'skin in the game,' which can lead to more motivated and invested business operation, as opposed to corporate-owned businesses where managers may not have the same level of personal investment.

  • Why do franchisors choose to expand through franchising instead of opening more corporate-owned locations?

    -Franchisors may choose to expand through franchising to leverage the capital of franchisees to open new locations without the need for massive loans or giving up ownership of their company, while also benefiting from the franchisees' personal investment in the business.
