1What do the logos to the left all have in common?

- AThey all make nice things
- BThey are all examples of companies that are franchises
2A franchise is a business that gives the right to another person or business to [blank_start]sell[blank_end] goods or services using its [blank_start]name[blank_end]. It does this by providing the person or other business with [blank_start]a licence[blank_end]. Buying into a franchise is an alternative to setting up a [blank_start]new[blank_end] business. Instead, individuals can buy into an already [blank_start]successful[blank_end] business.
To become part of a franchise, a new business must pay a fee. In return, it gets to join the [blank_start]franchise[blank_end] and benefit from using its name, products, training, marketing and equipment. Buying into an [blank_start]already established[blank_end] brand can help to reduce the risk of the business failing for the [blank_start]franchisee[blank_end].
