What's a franchise?

A franchise is a business arrangement which allows a business to operate under the name of an established brand, like MacDonald's.

The franchisor (the company who owns the established brand name) grants the franchisee (the person who wants to set up business) the right to sell or produce the brand name product. For example, an independent bottling company can produce a brand name soft drink in return for a fee or royalty.
