The independent operator does business using the marketing methods,

trademarked goods and services and the "goodwill" and name recognition

developed by the company. In exchange, the independent operator pays an

initial fee and royalties to the owner of the franchise.

The company that grants the independent operator the right to distribute its

trademarks, products, or techniques is known as the franchiser. The

independent, third party business person distributing the franchiser's products

or services through retail or service outlets is called the franchisee.
