In the past franchise companies were mainly selling their opportunity to single-unit operators or mom and pops, which they are commonly called. Today many franchisors are seeking to sell their franchise to multi-unit operators or area developers.

An area developer is a franchisee who has the right to establish and operate more than one unit within a defined geographic territory. The area developer will usually pay a fee for the territorial rights and will have a performance obligation or schedule for unit development.

There are numerous advantages to becoming an area developer. Some of these are:

  • You eliminate the risk of the area you are interested in developing more units in becoming saturated.
  • You can develop more units in a close proximity to you other units.
  • You can diversify your risk in case you have an underperforming location.
  • You can protect the integrity of the franchise brand by controlling the quality of your product or service.
  • You have full control over your local marketing and get the maximum benefits.
