 Hi there, Ever heard of a master franchisee? Most of us have not! I am one of them. You must be wondering about the difference between a franchisee and a master franchisee. Well, a master franchisee does not necessarily own a unit. They have more influential and powerful role in the network. They manage an entire geographical region on the behalf of the franchisor who delegates the responsibility to them. They recruit sub-franchisees who are trained and supported by them. They generate income from the franchise fee and royalty they pay to the franchisor. A percentage of these payments is given to the master franchisee.

 Buying a franchise is a big decision. Franchising comes with risks and challenges that can be hard to spot. Franchisees have to follow more rules and restrictions than other small business owners. A good franchisor will never make a potential franchisee feel pressured to sign an agreement before they are ready. Potential franchisees need to take the time to understand how franchising works and know the system and business they are buying. Investigate the system and the business you are buying Becoming a franchisee means having to follow most of the franchisor’s rules for how the business has to be run, even if the franchisee doesn’t always agree that those rules are best for their business.
