What is a franchise project?
Question 1: What is franchising? Franchise refers to the franchisor's right to own or authorize others to use registered trademarks, corporate logos, patents, proprietary technologies and other business resources. In franchising, brand and technology are the core, and brands are generally represented by registered trademarks, trade names and corporate logos owned or authorized by franchisers. Technology includes proprietary technology and management technology granted by the franchisor to the franchisee.

In China, franchising is called franchising, and there are usually two forms:

First, authorized by the * * * organization, specific enterprises are allowed to use public property, or enjoy the right to operate a franchise business in a certain area, such as allowing airlines to use state-owned airport facilities to operate passenger and cargo services on the routes designated by * * *;

Second, an enterprise grants its own trademark, trade name, patent right and know-how to another enterprise for a certain period of time or permanently, engages in business activities under the unified business model of the franchisor according to the contract, and pays corresponding fees to the franchisor.

Question 2: What are the national joining projects? There are too many joining projects ~ ~ All the joining projects are imported from abroad, such as KFC McDonald's, New Island Coffee, spicy noodles and so on.

I found a website "International Franchise Network", which provides thousands of franchise projects. You can have a look.

I suggest you make a field trip and make a careful evaluation, so that you can successfully find a project that meets your needs.

What is forbidden to operate? 30 points: the state restricts business operation, which means operating and selling within the scope stipulated by the state, and it is not allowed to go beyond the scope, that is, beyond the scope.

Franchising refers to the mode in which the franchisee allows the franchisee to use its name, trademark, proprietary technology, products and management experience in the form of contract. Franchisees are allowed to use the same trademark, trade name, corporate image, working procedures, etc. Owned or controlled by the franchisee. However, a considerable part of enterprises are owned or invested by franchisees.

No business, no sales.

Question: What's the difference between PPP and franchising? Franchising can be divided into two categories, franchising and franchising. Franchising in the field of project financing refers to franchising. Private enterprises usually need the authorization of * * * to participate in the provision of public goods (services).

In the Law on Franchising Infrastructure and Public Utilities (Draft for Comment) (2065438+May 3, 2004), franchising means that "people at all levels choose China people and domestic and foreign enterprise legal persons or other organizations according to law, sign agreements, and authorize enterprise legal persons or other organizations to build and operate specific infrastructure and public utilities within a certain period and scope, and provide public services".

* * * The main point of the franchise project is that private enterprises can only provide public goods (services) with the authorization of * * *. The essence of PPP is to buy public goods (services) from the society, which can be generally divided into three types: service outsourcing (such as garbage removal service), franchising (such as sewage treatment projects) and privatization (such as coal-fired power generation projects). Not all PPP projects must be authorized by * * *.

If you are satisfied, please use PPP Work Center to answer your questions.

Question 6: What are the applications of franchising and licensing? Franchising refers to the business model in which the franchisee allows the franchisee to use his name, trademark, proprietary technology, products and management experience to conduct business activities in the form of contract.

Licensing generally refers to business activities that must be approved by administrative organs according to laws and regulations.

Administrative licensing items: items that must be declared and approved according to laws, administrative regulations or the State Council, or items whose business scope belongs to laws and administrative regulations, or items that must be approved before registration according to the State Council. The pre-administrative license shall be subject to the pre-administrative license catalogue compiled and published by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce.

The name, location, structure, approved project unit and document number of the construction project.

(2) The nature and scale of the construction project (covering area, building area).

③ The building area or building number of the house to be exported.

(4) Project progress and delivery time, etc.

Examples are as follows

Enterprises that produce food need hygiene licenses.

The need to produce fireworks and candles

Logistics companies need expressway operation certificates.

These certificates, etc. , are pre-approved business projects.

Question 7: What municipal public utilities franchise projects are there?

The Administrative Measures on Franchising of Municipal Public Utilities promulgated in March, 2004 stipulates: "Franchising of Municipal Public Utilities refers to the system of selecting investors or operators of municipal public utilities through market competition mechanism according to relevant laws and regulations, and specifying that they will operate a certain municipal public utility product or provide a certain service within a certain period and scope." Because this kind of franchise is authorized by the government, it can be called "administrative franchise".

The franchise scope of municipal public utilities includes: urban water supply, gas supply, heating, sewage treatment, garbage disposal and public transportation. , directly related to the public interest, involving the allocation of limited public resources.

Question 8: What types of franchise financing projects refer to? Don't quite understand. Please give an example. Franchise project financing is an increasingly popular and important financing means for large and medium-sized projects such as infrastructure, public utilities and natural resources development. BOT, PFI and PPP are typical financing modes of franchise projects. The project financing mentioned here refers to the narrow sense of project financing, that is, "financing through projects" rather than "financing for projects" in a broad sense. There are many modes of project financing. The most popular and familiar one is BOT, that is, build-operate-transfer, which means that foreign businessmen or private businessmen are authorized to carry out financing, design, construction, operation and maintenance of projects (mainly infrastructure and natural resources development) through franchise agreements. Within the stipulated concession period (usually 10~30 years), users of the project will be charged to recover the investment, operation and maintenance costs of the project and get a reasonable return. After the concession period expires, the project will be handed over (usually free of charge) to * *.

BOT was first applied to the privatization of public infrastructure in Turkey by Turkish Prime Minister Turgut Auzard from 1984, which has aroused widespread concern and application in all countries, especially in developing countries. BOT is a popular financing method for large-scale projects. In China, BOT is a means to attract foreign capital or private capital to speed up domestic infrastructure construction by signing concession agreements with foreign businessmen or private businessmen, so it is often called "concession or franchise bidding" or "enterprise bidding". BOT modes include BOT, BOOT (Build-Own-Operate-Transfer) and BOO (Build-Own-Operate-Transfer).

Another popular mode of project financing is ABS, that is, asset-backed/asset-based securitization, which refers to the process of gathering assets that lack liquidity but can generate predictable and stable cash flow, separating and reorganizing the risk and income elements in assets through certain arrangements, and then transforming them into securities that can be sold and circulated in the financial market. ABS is a new way of realizing assets, which first appeared in the United States in 1980s. According to the different types of assets, there are mainly two kinds of securitization of credit assets (securitization based on credit assets) and real estate securitization (securitization based on infrastructure, real estate and other real estate). Compared with BOT, ABS sometimes has advantages. For example, some infrastructure projects that are not suitable for BOT for some reasons, such as important railway trunk lines and large power plants, can adopt ABS.

With the development of project financing, another word PPP (public-private partnership/joint venture) is becoming more and more popular in China, especially in Europe, because state-owned enterprises are independent accounting legal persons and can or have participated in many projects as non-public sectors. This term was first put forward by the British * * * in 1992, which means that * * * signed a long-term agreement with a private company, authorizing the private company to build, operate or manage public infrastructure and provide public services instead of * * *. It can be seen that PPP is similar to BOT in essence, but it has a broader meaning, which embodies a broader public-private partnership, except for infrastructure (roads, railways, subways, tunnels, bridges, airports, ports, communications, power supply/water plants, sewage/garbage treatment plants, etc.) and natural resource development (mining/oil/natural gas, treatment/smelting plants, pipelines, etc.). It also includes the privatization of public service products/institutions (such as post offices, hospitals, schools, theaters, stadiums, prisons, police stations, etc.). The latter is called Private Finance Initiative (PFI) in Britain. But compared with BOT, PPP emphasizes * * *' s participation in the project (such as holding shares), and emphasizes * * *' s long-term cooperation with enterprises, giving full play to their respective advantages, * * * enjoying the benefits, and * * * taking risks and social responsibilities.

Franchise project financing (BOT, PFI, PPP) has many advantages. For * * *, it can reduce the financial burden of * * and accelerate the development of infrastructure ... >>

Question 9: Who is the "investor of the franchise project"? Isn't the investor the owner? Franchise project management refers to that some * * * entrust some planned urban infrastructure projects to professional investors for investment and construction, and grant them franchise rights for several years after the project is completed, so that they can recover the project investment and income through operation, and then * * * recover the management right. Among them, professional investors are investors or franchisees of franchise projects. * * * The department selects the investors of franchise projects through bidding. Investors in franchise projects can be private enterprises or state-owned enterprises. The project construction funds of private enterprises are planned by themselves, some of which are owned by themselves, and some of which are through bank loans (internationally known as BOT); The project construction funds of state-owned enterprises are also planned by themselves. Some of them are self-owned funds, some of them are borrowed from banks, and some of them can be invested by * * *, but * * does not participate in the operation and recovery of project investment and income (internationally known as PPP).

Therefore, the investors of franchise projects are different from the general contractors. The project belongs to * * *, but he is the planner of construction funds, the investor of the project, the implementer of the project, the manager of the project, the interest repayment of the project, the recovery of the project income, and the handover of the project to * * * after the franchise expires.

In other words, investors in franchise projects can build, produce or provide projects by themselves according to law, and may not bid; On the contrary, if the above conditions are not met, the contractor must also be selected through bidding; If the projects involved in the temporary evaluation of general contracting projects meet the bidding standards, bids must be invited. This is where the general contractor is different from the investor of the franchise project.

Question 10: What is the specific content of the franchise model? Franchising is a variant of licensing trade. The franchisor transfers the whole management system or service system to an independent operator, who pays a certain franchise fee.

The legal definition of franchising in China is * * *: Franchising means that the franchisee grants its own trademarks (including service trademarks), trade names, products, patents, know-how and business model to the franchisee in the form of a franchise contract, and the franchisee engages in business activities under the franchisee's unified business model according to the provisions of the contract, and pays corresponding fees to the franchisee.
