You can search their online directory by location, business sector or by how much initial investment is required to acquire a franchise. The franchise model is an increasingly popular method of developing a business and long gone are the days of franchise businesses being boring! For example, Reading-based MAD Academy was launched in 2004 and offers music and dance classes for pre-school children. Their website (www.madacademy.com) is a classic example of how to engage with potential franchisees. It lists the key messages that any would-be franchisee should look for: "a strong brand; complete package of proven class and business materials; full range of professionally developed marketing tools; on-going training and full support available every day." MAD Academy is suited to people with a passion for music and a willingness to engage with youngsters; a similar franchise opportunity is "Stitchclub" (www.stitchclub.co.uk) which offers sewing skills for boys and girls
We've focused our efforts on increasing internal communication of our values, through training and engagement within the business, and have improved our programmes to support Community Trade and to secure higher labour standards in our supply chain. 2004 also saw a return to sustainability reporting, with the completion of our first reporting cycle since 1997. Our Individual Stakeholder Accounts mapped out issues and challenges relating to investors, suppliers, employees, franchisees, customers and the environment. This 2005 Values Report marks a new frontier in our reporting. This report is about the future, not the past. It focuses on the challenges facing us as a values-based company. We understand that values are never static, being constantly challenged by new legislation, market developments, social change, even advances in science and technology. This report is not a comprehensive mapping or overview of our Values

While BK began its foray in to locations outside of the continental United States in 1963 with a store in San Juan, Puerto Rico, it did not have a large international presence. This situation changed shortly after the acquisition when Pillsbury opened its first international restaurant in Canada in 1969. Other international locations followed soon after: Oceania in 1971 with Hungry Jack's and in Europe in 1975 with a restaurant in Madrid, Spain. Beginning in 1982, BK and its franchisees began operating stores in several East Asian countries, including Japan, Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea. Due to high competition, all of the Japanese locations closed by the end of 2001. BK reentered the Japanese market in mid-2007. BK's Central and South American operations began in Mexico in the late 1970s. While Burger King lags behind McDonald's in international locations by over 12,000 stores, it has managed to become the largest chain in several countries including Mexico and Spain
frantsiisiandja pakub frantsiisilepinguga litsenseeritud eesõigust ettevõtluseks, abi tootmise või teenuste organiseerimisel, väljaõppel ja majandamisel, mille eest frantsiisivõtja tasub omapoolse tööga. Seega kujutab frantsiisileping endast süsteemi, mille läbi toote, teenuse või meetodi omanik, frantsiisiandja (franchisor) saab võimaluse kasutada litsentseeritud, kinnitatud liikmeskonnaga frantsiisivõtjate (franchisees) teeneid. Sageli garanteerib frantsiisiandja frantsiisivõtjale ainuõiguse oma toote, teenuse või meetodi turustamiseks kindlas geograafilises piirkonnas ja ajavahemikus, seda koos võimalusega lepingut pikendada, kui tingimusi on täidetud. Mitmes mõttes sarnaneb frantsiisiturustussüsteem suurtele kaubamajakettidele. Sarnaselt neile on ka frantsiisimüügikohtadel üks ja sama tuntud kaubamärk, standardne
Warbucks. There were to be no more founding cats since Josephine and her next litter were destroyed by their owner. Based on the appearance of the two founding females, Baker split their progeny into two groups: Fugianna's kittens were termed "the Light Side"; Buckwheat's kittens were termed "the Dark Side". Ann Baker formulated a strict breeding policy to preserve the purity of the Ragdoll and charged other breeders (franchisees) a royalty fee for every kitten they sold. She also made wild claims about the cats: their docility was due to changes in Josephine after she was hit by a car (a long-discredited Lamarckian theory), that while Josephine was being treated for injuries she was infused experimentally with skunk and/or racoon and/or human genes (even if done, these genes would not have entered the egg cells in the ovaries), that Ragdolls were
READER'S REPORT 3.2 From the Creative Director of a Large, International Advertising Agency n the late 1990S, I asked Fred DeLucca, the founder and CEO of Subway Irestaurants, why he insisted in putting the prediction "10,000 stores by 2001" on the napkins in every single Subway. It didn't seem to make sense, as I knew he was a long way from his goal, that consumers didn't really care about his plan, and his franchisees were deeply troubled by the competition associated with such a goal. His answer was, "If I put my goals down in writing and make them known to the world, I'm committed to achieving them." Needless to say, he not only has, he's exceeded them. Author's note: As of January I, 2008, Subway had over 28,000 restaurants in 86 countries. So, as we will also see in the next section. written·down and publicly made commitments can be used
