Licensed business owner
A franchisee is a person or business that operates under a franchise agreement—paying fees to use an established company's brand, products, and business model.
The franchisee owns and runs the individual location while following the franchisor's standards: She became a franchisee of a popular fast-food chain.
Most franchise agreements require ongoing royalty payments.
