Master Franchising is a proven form of business organization, which allows franchisors to expand its business on a global scale. Every country is unique with different languages, customs, and different laws and a franchise could be forced to educate themselves for years before attempting to sell a franchise in a foreign land.
By setting up a master franchisee, a franchisor centralizes the administration of their franchise model to a Master Franchisee who in turn, has the regional expertise to sell and manage sub-franchisees in the territories. Such a franchise designation is especially helpful in Europe, where every country has its own language, laws, and customs.
Another name for European franchisees is a subfranchisor, which takes on the duties of the franchisor with the country or territory in question but is not the franchise owners themselves.
General management responsibility, are the continued responsibility of the franchisor. The subfranchisor’s main role is to administer regional and cultural assistance to franchisees with its territory. The franchise continues to benefit from the economies of scale and the management expertise of the original company as well as the local expertise of the sub-franchisor.
