Offering insight into the difference between franchise and licensing, the company spokesperson said, "A franchise is generally a business model where a franchisee purchases the right to operate a business under the business model and name of an established company (the franchisor). Franchisees typically have access to the franchisor's services, products, brand, and operating methods, enabling them to run their businesses as an extension of the franchisor's operations. Here, franchisees pay an initial fee to the franchisors and also continue to pay ongoing royalties based on profits or revenues. On the other hand, licensing is a legal relationship in which a licensor grants the licensee the right to typically use its intellectual property, such as patents, technology, or trademarks, in exchange for a royalty or fee. Here, the licensee is granted the right to sell and produce goods or use a brand, but operates independently of the licensor. They are not given the same level of support or control that is typical in a franchise arrangement."
