Types of Franchising
The franchise industry continues to thrive, with single-unit franchising leading the way, accounting for 70% of all franchise establishments in the U.S. (Franchise Business Review). This type of franchise allows entrepreneurs to own and operate a single location of a franchise system. It offers lower investment costs and reduced risk compared to multi-unit franchising, where franchisees own and operate multiple locations within a specific territory.
