INTERNATIONAL FRANCHISING:

Franchising is an excellent way to expand internationally. It is an affordable way of accelerating growth, achieving development goals more quickly and with often less risk than expanding overseas on one's own.

They will be responsible for recruiting, training and supporting local franchisees.

They will be licensed to offer and promote, under their own name, the licensors products and services alongside their own.
