What is a Franchise in New Zealand?

In New Zealand, a franchise refers to a business structure in which a franchisor grants an individual or business (the franchisee) the rights to operte under their established brand, using their proven business model, systems, and support. This arrangement is typically formalised through a legal agreement.

3. Franchise Agreement: A legal document outlining the rights and responsibilities of both parties, including fees, operational standards, and the duration of the arrangement.

5. Training and Support: Franchisors provide initial training and ongoing operational support to franchisees, ensuring they align with the brand’s standards.
