Franchise in Poland is growing in strength!

Franchising is a special way of running your own business. It consists in operating under the logo and in the model of a well-known brand - the franchisor. It is an ideal solution for people who dream of their own company, but do not have sufficient knowledge, experience and business idea. It turns out that the franchise market in Poland has been growing in strength in recent years.

Franchise - a short guide

The word franchise comes from the English language. Franchise translated into Polish means a concession and defines a certain type of agreement between the parties and a specific sales system. In this model, there are two sides: the franchisor, i.e. the company that grants the license, and the contractor who uses it - the franchisee.

Entering into cooperation means that the franchisee undertakes to run his business under the trademark (or trade name) of the franchisor, using the adopted principles, techniques and know-how. It is up to the licensor to prepare a person who has no experience in a given activity for work.

The basis for cooperation between the franchisor and the franchisee is a specially constructed franchise agreement. It includes all the most important rules of business, including the model, which are most important to both parties.
