Re-franchising is the resale of company owned (corporate owned) businesses by franchisors. Also referred to as going franchise. If a franchisor has multiple franchises within their chain, often times many are owned by corporate and others are owned by franchisees (individual operators). When the franchisor decides to sell all or several of the company owned units, they are refranchising (also known as going franchise). Excellent way to free up cash, reduce risk and grow their chain (as often times if executed properly; the franchisees will out perform the company managers; for many reasons; most often as franchisees have skin in the game).
