The difference between franchising and licensing lies in:
1。 Subject qualifications are different. Franchising subject is enterprise, and licensing subject is enterprise and individual;
2。 The licensed resources are different. Commercial resources, business models and distribution systems can be used in franchising, and only trademarks, patents and proprietary technologies can be used in licensing;
3。 The payment methods are different. Franchising involves the first commission, commission or management fee, deposit, advertising promotion fee, and licensing involves licensing fees;
