The master franchise (or sub-franchisor) is the most common form of franchisor-franchisee international franchise relationship. In a master franchise arrangement, the U.S. franchisor gives the foreign master franchisor the right to use the marks and the system in connection with franchising in a particular territory for a certain period of time. In that territory, the master franchisor will act as the franchisor. It will typically be responsible for developing leads for qualified franchisee prospects, for signing the franchise agreements, for training new franchisees, for collecting fees from franchisees in the territory, and for monitoring franchisee compliance with system standards. The master franchisor usually pays a portion of its revenues to the franchisor as royalties.

Some of the advantages of master franchise relationship are: significant expansion without significant expense, the burden of translating all franchise materials can be shifted to the master franchisor, the master franchisor in the country can provide training and support to franchisees easier than the U.S. franchisor and more.
