Franchise holding company structure.
A franchise holding company may own the brand, regional franchise entities and property assets through separate companies. This chart keeps those roles distinct so readers can understand which entity owns the trademark, which ones operate stores and where real estate sits. It is useful for early planning, presentations and conversations with advisers. Add ownership percentages, jurisdictions and franchise agreements when those details are relevant. Confirm legal entity names and ownership relationships against current records before relying on the chart for a transaction, disclosure or compliance purpose.
