In the sense of  the Business model it says how one works and what sort of process has been used to produce identical products or services.  Most famous franchise in the World today is probably McDonald’s . As you step in to this fast food shop you will most certanly notice that things work  in the same way as anywhere else in the World. So franchising does not just help to gain identical results, but can also help you to protect your business model.
