If you want to franchise your business, involve an attorney who specializes in these matter. Franchising is incredibly complex and you want to be sure to protect all parties.

If you want to open a franchise store, like McDonald's, you'd have to contact their franchising department. They will take fees but they'll set you up with their suppliers and distributors. Creating a franchise of your own gets quite expensive. If you have the investment, you'll count on franchise fees.
