The type and degree of this support will vary from franchise to franchise and will also depend on the maturity of the franchise business and the franchise model.

The franchise recruitment process is the procedure by which a franchisee and a franchisor assess each other to ascertain whether they can build a successful business relationship.

A franchise is a type of license that grants a franchisee access to a franchisor’s proprietary business knowledge, processes and trademarks allowing the franchisee to sell a product or service under the franchisor’s business name.
