Franchisors are the ones who initiate the business under a particular brand name and then expand their business at various locations through an agreement with some other individuals known as franchisees. This simple explanation is enough to show that without the franchisor, this franchise system cannot be initiated. The majority of the weight of running a franchise falls on the franchisor, as he is the one who gave instructions to the franchisee regarding the manner in which the franchise shall be operated, and without his consent, no task can be done which is not mentioned in the franchise agreement. Franchisors thus have to be very responsible with the duties they perform and the duties they delegate to be performed by others.
