Master Franchises Explained
Master Franchises Explained
What or who is a master franchise?
A master franchise can be a person or a business entity who buys the right to promote and sell units of a franchise in a specific area.
Sounds like an Area developer. What is the difference?
The biggest difference is that unlike an Area Developer, a master franchise is not bound to open and maintain units. He or she can open one unit for training or as a model unit; but his or her prime focus is to spread the name of the franchisor in the chosen market. A master franchisor also gets to keep a part of the franchise fee and royalty fee that people who buy a franchise pay to the franchisor. Also, a master franchise is supposed to train the people like a main franchisor in many cases.
Sounds good, can I get one?
Since the function of a master franchise is like a franchisor, only experienced people are considered as master franchisees. Then again, not all franchise opportunities offer this program. Many times, international franchises use it to spread faster in a new country. Also, your net worth has to be really good to qualify as a master franchise.
How big will be the area?
It can be anything between a state and a country! Among different franchise business for sale offers circulated by a franchise concept, a master franchise has the largest area. If the master franchisee opens the required number of units within a given time-frame, the area is more or less exclusive.
How is the return of investment?
A master franchise has more than one channel of earning. Besides getting a part of the franchise fee and the royalty fee, the master franchise can earn from the unit it decides to open (it also gets reduced opening fees when it opens a unit of its own) and also by distributing products to the franchisees. Additionally, it can also have real estate interests.
