Franchises come in all shapes and sizes - in fact, it's often said you can franchise
just about any product or service. The main categories are Corporate, Retail,
and Service franchises.
Corporate Franchises
refers to franchise systems that form
one component of an overall business, where other components are not franchised.
For example, earth-moving equipment specialists Komatsu and white goods specialists
Fisher and Paykel have franchised their repairs/service divisions.
Retail Franchises
as the name suggests, are generally shop-based
and divided into two sub-categories, 'food' and 'other'. 'Other' covers a huge
range of products and services ranging from books to bedding to building products.
Service Franchises
can be mobile, home-based or premises-based,
depending on the service provided. Services like domestic or commercial cleaning,
gardening or pool care tend to be mobile; office services (like book-keeping)
or services like tutoring tend to be home or premise-based. Other services, such
as mortgage-broking use any (or all) of these approaches.
Franchise Developments has assisted franchisors to build businesses in each of
these categories, as illustrated in the following case studies.
