By Margarita Joseph

The number of units that are to be developed is set out in the franchise agreement that is signed by both parties.

If a franchisee fails to develop the number agreed upon within the stipulated period, the license could be revoked. Other than being revoked, a franchisee could also be subjected to other fines. The geographical territory does vary, and this is determined by the type of business as well as the agreement. In some cases, this could be as big as the size of a country, or even bigger, like an entire state. As is the case with most franchises, the franchiser may offer special pricing in terms of licensing, and there may also be a continuing royalty pricing regarding the area development franchisees. In most cases, a franchisee is not allowed to operate outside of his or her territory. If they have to, it is important that they buy another franchising license.
