Franchise in a nutshell

Basically, franchising for Touring Cars means that we (franchisor) developed a successful business model that we can offer you to take part of in. In a nutshell, franchising occurs when the franchisor is renting out or leasing the rights to its brand and its operating methods to one or more independent franchisees; this would be you. The concept franchisor developed is to be used throughout the entire franchise chain ensuring consistency and economies of scale.

It is all about the concept

A franchise system consists of a franchisor and a number of franchisees. They work together toward common goals but are legally independent. This means that you as a franchisee are responsible for the daily operations of your business and your own results. The franchisor takes care of things like operational support, training, HRM support, consultancy, quality control, marketing strategies, etc.

Business basics
