However, some laundries cheat franchisees into joining fees under the banner of joining, and then change their names and addresses to let franchisees die.
Laundry is a sunrise industry, and the demand is rising steadily, not only from the relevant data, but also from our life experience. But realistically speaking, the development of the laundry industry is still uneven, and incidents that infringe on consumers' rights and interests occur from time to time. Because of this, choosing a big brand with excellent service has become a general consumption tendency of consumers; Because of this, brand franchise has occupied such a large market share. Huge business opportunities also provide fraudulent conditions for some illegal franchisees.
Franchising means that the franchisee grants its own trademark, trade name, product, patent, proprietary technology and business model to the franchisee in the form of franchise contract; According to the contract, the franchisee engages in business activities under the franchisor's unified business model and pays the corresponding fees to the franchisor. According to the relevant laws and regulations, franchisees must have unique and teachable management skills or know-how in addition to having independent legal personality, registered trademarks, trade names, products and patents, and have good business performance for more than one year. However, from the laundry industry to the commercial format of franchise chains, many franchisees have not met such requirements. Take the recent "earth carving" sesame cake as an example. Its production process is simple, the technical content is not high, it is easy to be copied, and it does not have the conditions to develop the franchise system, but it has just rolled up a whirlwind of joining in the country.
"Unique and teachable technology or know-how" and "good business performance for more than one year" have a lot of room for fraud. Because franchisees are not the final consumers, it is difficult for consumers' associations to mediate this. Disputes can only be settled through arbitration and appeal, which is time-consuming and laborious, which is unbearable for ordinary franchisees and often goes away.
Franchising has really developed in China for only 65,438+00 years, but at present, there are more than 2,000 franchise systems in China with about 2 million employees. However, our external legal environment is far from being available-the legislative level of special regulations is low; In general economic laws and regulations and civil and commercial laws and regulations, there is no direct adjustment to the content of franchising; The industry norms are simple and general, and many important issues of franchising are not stipulated, leaving a legal vacuum.
Finally, I wish you success in opening a shop ~!
