Tracking the number of company-owned versus franchised locations can be a useful metric for prospective franchisees. A higher number of company-owned locations may indicate that the franchisor has a strong interest in the brand's performance and is willing to invest its own capital. It can also provide locations for training new franchisees. Conversely, a franchise system that is entirely franchisee-owned may indicate that the franchisor's revenue is primarily derived from franchise fees and royalties, rather than direct sales.
