Some Terminology
Words are used in so many different ways in the franchise industry. Some are legally defined and others just in general use. Before beginning it is useful to clarify the way we use terms and why.
Legal definitions
Legally, through the Franchise Code of Conduct and Franchise Agreement Template, the
following terms are set.
Franchise System includes a business system in which a franchisor grants a franchise to a franchisee
Franchised Business is one franchise outlet
The Manual or Operations Manual is the franchisee operations manual and includes everything operational needed to run the franchised business, however crafted (audiovisual, graphic, text, software etc.)
Franchise Documentation includes the Operations Manual and all the legal documents and anything else needed to conduct the Franchised Business
A more extensive list of more commonly used terms is included in the appendices.
Franchise Simply definitions
I have extended these terms, however, because I consider it essential that you deal with both sides of a Franchise System, the franchised business operated by your franchisees and your franchisor business.
So…
The Franchise System is the whole franchise group consisting of the franchisor business and the franchised businesses operated by your franchisees.
The franchisee outlet or franchised business will have:
a. Franchisee Documentation which includes:
i. The legal documents (Franchise Agreement and Disclosure Document
and any associated legal docs)
ii. The Franchisee Operations Manual which includes everything operational needed to run the franchised business, however crafted (audiovisual, graphic, text, software etc.)
b. The Franchised Business (goodwill etc.)
The franchisor business will have:
a. Franchisor Documentation which includes:
i. The legal documents (the franchisor is party to the franchise agreement)
and any other legal documents which make up the brand etc.
b. The Franchisor Operations Manual which includes everything operational
needed to run the franchised business, however crafted (audio-visual, graphic,
text, software etc.)The Franchisor Business (goodwill etc.)
Introduction to Module Four
In Module Four you will be deploying your franchise group.
You have built the franchise group through the previous three Modules and tested it through your pilot operations. Now is the time to start to recruit new franchisees to join your group.
This Module shows you how to conduct successful recruitment processes. Once your franchisees are in place you will induct them into your group and support them into the future.
I wish you all the best.
