One common type of franchise opportunity is business format franchising. With this type of franchising you generally have a broad relationship between the franchisee and franchisor that often includes an on-going training and support program. On the other hand, there is brand name franchising where you have a product and brand name that is well known and widespread. It is the most basic type of franchise opportunity and usually involves a fairly straightforward arrangement allowing the franchisee to sell a certain type of product or use a specific brand name.
