Types Of Franchise Models

Posted by Admin on March, 08, 2023


The concept of franchising has become increasingly popular in recent years, as it provides a way for entrepreneurs to start their own businesses while benefiting from the support of an established brand. There are several franchise models to choose from, including FICO, FOCO, FOFO, and COFO. In this blog, we will explore each of these models in detail.

1. FICO (Franchise-Invested, Company-Operated)

The FICO model is a type of franchise where the franchisor provides the franchisee with a turnkey business. The franchisor designs and builds the store, provides the equipment, and supplies the initial inventory. The franchisee is has limited responsibility because the franchisee is like a sleeping partner in this franchise model. All operations of the business, are done by the franchisor. Hence the Franchisee can relax and earn the benefits without working in FICO model.

2. FOCO (Franchise-Owned, Company-Operated)

The FOCO model is a type of franchise where the franchisor owns and operates the business on behalf of the franchisee. The franchisee provides the initial investment, while the franchisor is responsible for all aspects of the business, including hiring and training staff, purchasing inventory, and marketing the brand.

3. FOFO (Franchise-Owned, Franchise-Operated)

The FOFO model is a type of franchise where the franchisee owns and operates the business independently of the franchisor. The franchisor provides the franchisee with the brand, products, and support, but the franchisee is responsible for all aspects of the business, including hiring and training staff, purchasing inventory, and marketing the brand.

4. COFO (Company-Owned, Franchise-Operated)

The COFO model is a type of franchise where the franchisor owns and operates some of its own stores, while also franchising out others to independent franchisees. The franchisor provides support to the franchisees, but the franchisee is responsible for all aspects of the business, including hiring and training staff, purchasing inventory, and marketing the brand.

In conclusion, the choice of franchise model depends on the goals and preferences of the entrepreneur. The FICO model provides a turnkey business, while the FOCO model offers more support from the franchisor. The FOFO model offers more independence, while the COFO model is a mix of company-owned and franchise-operated stores. Ultimately, the entrepreneur should carefully consider their options and choose the model that best aligns with their goals and vision for their business.
