What Is a Franchisee?
Franchising is the practice of selling products or services under a specific brand name or trademark. The franchisor is the party who establishes the brand. The franchisee is the party with the right to do business under the franchisor’s name.
Under this business model, the two parties enter into an agreement in which the franchisor pays the franchisor for this right. The franchisor may offer physical infrastructure, equipment, training, or other types of support. In turn, the franchisee hands over a portion of their profits to the franchisor in the form of royalties. The franchisee may also owe an initial fee upon signing the franchising agreement.
What Is Franchise Insurance?
In a franchising agreement, both the franchisor and franchisee take on risks. To protect their business interests, they should have coverage against legal liability, loss of assets, or other issues that could interrupt their regular business operations or damage their reputation. That is why it is so important for both parties to have comprehensive business insurance. While there is no one-size-fits-all policy, franchise insurance can often include:
- General liability insurance: This is a standard type of commercial insurance coverage offering protection against liability for bodily injury, property damage, and other common accidents.
- Workers’ compensation: Required in most workplaces, this insurance policy provides benefits to employees who get hurt or sick while on the job.
- Business property insurance: This type of policy protects your franchise from property damage that occurs as a result of fires, water damage, or even theft.
- Equipment insurance: A franchise that depends on different equipment systems may need this coverage to safeguard against breakdowns, failures, or equipment damage.
- Commercial auto insurance: Franchises that require company vehicles should have coverage against damage caused by an accident, as well as employees’ medical bills.
- Cybersecurity insurance: Franchises may also need coverage against data breaches, malware, and other types of cyber attacks.
