At the end of the year you can expect to get a hand­some amount as roy­alty fee and per­cent­age of the total income of the fran­chisee busi­ness. If you are the holder then you can enjoy the entire profit of the busi­ness by giv­ing out only a part of the total income. The suc­cess of both the par­ties depends on how well they bid on the con­tract amount. The holder will be suc­cess­ful if he can bid the low­est roy­alty fee and per­cent­age on the total income. The owner is always the most benef­i­cent. In any case, it is a win-win sit­u­a­tion for both the parties.
