Question

why are franchise outlets set up?

Answer 1

Franchising is based on a marketing concept which can be adopted by an organization as a strategy for business expansion. Where implemented, a franchiser licenses its know-how, procedures, intellectual property, use of its business model, brand, and rights to sell its branded products and services to a franchisee. In return the franchisee pays certain fees and agrees to comply with certain obligations, typically set out in a Franchise Agreement.

Answer 2

A franchise is merely a temporary business investment involving renting or leasing an opportunity, not the purchase of a business for the purpose of ownership.While a successful franchise offers many advantages such as economies of scale and huge expansion opportunities, a new franchise being set up can go both ways; either be successful or end up a failure.
