Do you know, that:
ü
At the moment, the
part of the franchising companies on the American market is
more than 40% of the whole trade volume, in which 7,2 millions
of employees are involved. In Europe, Germany is taking the
leading position – 530 franchisors have licensed 22 000
franchisees. Denmark is still an outsider – there are only 98
maternity companies with 2 000 franchisees.
ü
Phere are
more than 60 sorts of business, developing on the base of
franchising. The most popular sphere is fast food (take a look
at McDonald’s!) & the sales of alimentary products & drinks
such as Coca-cola & Pepsi.
ü
In the USA
after 5 years of operating on the market only 23% of the
private business resists, nevertheless, after 10 years of
operating, there are only 18% of them. Although among the
companies, working on the franchising system, only 8 of 100
companies splits in the further 5 years, and 10 of 100 – in
further 10 years.
ü
Franchises
– business-format are divided on the following groups:
Franchise working place – where the franchisor is preparing a
well-equipped working place for the entrepreneur;
Franchise-enterprise – commercial franchise, which demands the
biggest investments;
Franchise-investment – the main aim: the return of the primary
investment’s sum. |
