Trademark license or franchise: how to choose?

Except perhaps in the world of start-uppers, almost all business projects can be integrated within the framework of a franchise or a brand license: Today, many successful companies opened to these models of entrepreneurship and offer these facilities to new entrepreneurs. The advantages are numerous and undeniable. Also, these two formulas, franchise and trademark license, are similar while each having advantages and disadvantages. Below is a summary of these two formulas:

• Franchise : It is a collaboration between a company defined as the franchisor and several other named franchisees. This collaboration, defined in a franchise agreement, allows the franchisee to operate an existing brand name and freely exploit its concept. Retail sale, various trade, services or catering, many trades are concerned. In return for the concept of the brand image made available, the franchisee must respect the rules of his network which are generally defined for the sake of consistency between the different brands contributing to their added value but also to fulfill 'an entry fee and operating royalties, the well-known royalties. The latter are either a function of turnover, or flat-rate.
• The trademark license: this is the model chosen by YourHostHelper. Like the franchise, it is a contractual collaboration between several companies. The brand license allows a third-party company to use the brand in question by exploiting its image but also all or part of the elements of the marketing mix (product, price, communication, distribution). In this sense, the trademark license is more flexible for both parties, the trademark and the licensee. The freedom granted to the licensee is greater and the collaboration less restrictive. However, like the franchise, the trademark license can give right to royalties according to the turnover or lump sum. It is rare but not impossible for a trademark license to be freely granted without financial compensation.

To summarize, it should be said that a franchise business requires a very strong adherence to the brand since it implies rigorously follow the franchisor's model. The trademark license is more of a transfer of intellectual property and will, in this sense, generally grant more freedom to the licensed entrepreneur. The contribution of product / service skills is automatic in franchising, while the brand license does not necessarily imply it. From a financial point of view, all things considered, the royalties or royalties are generally reduced in brand licensing vis-à-vis the franchise.
