When franchisors enter into long-term franchise agreements, they expect to receive a steady stream of royalties for the duration of the agreement. In some cases, that can mean 20 years of royalty revenue from one franchise location.

When franchisors enter into long-term franchise agreements, they expect to receive a steady stream of royalties for the duration of the agreement.
