II. According to the Notice of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce on Relevant Issues Concerning the Registration and Management of Chain Stores:
Article 1 These Measures are formulated to regulate franchising, protect the legitimate rights and interests of both franchisees and franchisees, and further promote the development of chain stores.
article 2 franchising means that the franchisee grants its own trademarks, including service trademarks, trade names, products, patents, proprietary technologies and business models, to the franchisee for use in the form of a franchise contract, and the franchisee engages in business activities under the franchisor's unified business model according to the provisions of the contract, and pays corresponding fees to the franchisee.
branches of banks do not meet the above two conditions, so they do not belong to chain enterprises.
