Investopedia explains 'Franchiser'

Becoming a franchiser is a good method for a business with an established brand to potentially expand across different markets and passively earn a good amount of revenues. However, franchisers must be very diligent in assessing potential franchisees and monitoring the quality and performance of existing franchises. Discrepancies of service quality or bad press will not only affect the financial performance of the franchise in question, but will also negatively affect the public's outlook about the entire brand in general.
