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.
Franchisor: The owner of the brand, systems, and intellectual property who licenses these to franchisees.
Franchisee: The individual or business that purchases the rights to operate a franchise, adhering to the franchisor’s systems and guidelines.
Franchise Agreement: A legal document outlining the rights and responsibilities of both parties, including fees, operational standards, and the duration of the arrangement.
Franchise Fee and Ongoing Royalties: The franchisee typically pays an upfront fee to acquire the franchise and ongoing royalties (usually a percentage of revenue) for continued use of the brand and support.
Training and Support: Franchisors provide initial training and ongoing operational support to franchisees, ensuring they align with the brand’s standards.
Marketing Contributions: Franchisees often contribute to a shared marketing fund managed by the franchisor.
