Master Franchise Opportunities

High growth franchise systems

Many franchise systems today offer investors a plethora of choices for investment opportunities.  Master franchises are when a franchisor sells the rights to a territory for someone else to develop it as the sub-franchisor.  The Master franchisor is responsible for the entire franchise relationship within the territory, including collection of franchise fees and royalties, providing training, making sure the franchisee is compliant, etc.  The Master pays a high upfront fee for the territory rights.  The franchisor has less control of the territory and operation of their system in exchange for the capital.  Master Franchising is popular with International markets, while becoming somewhat less frequently used in the United States.  When a franchise sells a master franchise license overseas, they are extending their brand and market reach, but are relying on the master franchisee to operate the system according to local laws and customs, while at the same time preserving the integrity of the brand and system.
