Owning a franchise allows business owners to benefit from an established brand and customer base but requires following the franchisor's operating model. Franchisees gain independence but must adhere to set processes, product offerings, pricing, and territories dictated in the franchise agreement. While the franchise model increases the chances of success, owners face ongoing costs and restrictions on their business and may have their agreement terminated without their consent if issues arise with the franchisor or other franchisees.

As the adage goes, "Owning a franchise allows you to go into business for yourself,
but not by yourself." A franchise provides franchisees (individual owners/operators)
with a certain level of independence where they can manage their business. As a result, the franchisee obtains access to a customer base that would otherwise take years to develop. A franchise increases your chances of success by associating with tried-and-true merchandise and business processes. Because the franchise agreement mandates it, franchises may entice clients by promising a certain degree of consistency and quality. However, the franchise is not self-contained. Franchisees must follow the processes and constraints established by the franchisor in the franchisee agreement when operating their businesses. These constraints frequently include the range of goods and services available, the pricing, and the geographical areaFor some people, this can be the most significant disadvantage of owning a franchise. Beyond the initial franchise fee, franchisees must pay ongoing royalties and advertising expenses. Franchisees must be cautious to strike a balance between the franchisor's needs, the support that is offered, and their managerial abilities. A tarnished reputation may result if other franchisees are underperforming or the franchisor has an unforeseen problem. The term (length) of a franchise agreement is customarily limited, and the franchisee may have little or no say in how it is terminated.
