Frequently asked questions

What is a master franchise agreement?

It is an exclusive development agreement for a country or region: the partner acquires the right to develop the brand in that territory, directly or through its own franchisees. We explain what gets negotiated in master franchise in the Middle East.

Franchise, master franchise or joint venture: which suits my brand?

It depends on the target market and on the brand’s capacity to scale, which is why every process starts with that analysis. A joint venture fits when a local operator brings capital and market knowledge; a master franchise, when exclusive development by country or region is the goal.
