Franchise Fees: Depending upon the agreement, as a Master Franchisee when you sell or award a franchise in your territory you will receive anywhere from 40% to 50% of the stated franchise fee.

Royalty Income: As a Master Franchisee you will also generally be entitled to receive a percentage of the monthly royalty fee generated by each franchise unit in your territory.
