Franchising in Romania – The Safe Path to Entrepreneurship

Franchising is one of the fastest and most secure ways to start a profitable business in Romania. Unlike a traditional startup, a franchise provides a tested business model, ongoing support, and access to an established network.

In today’s dynamic economic climate, franchising in Romania is becoming an increasingly attractive option for aspiring entrepreneurs as well as investors seeking scalability and rapid brand visibility. You benefit from know-how, a recognized brand, marketing materials, and operational support – all in one package.

The show “Franchising in Practice”, created by the Romanian Franchise Association, guides you step-by-step through how a successful franchise network works. Through podcasts, specialized courses, and industry updates, we offer essential tools to help you launch your own business or transform your brand into a franchise.

Explore the latest franchise podcast episodes, discover accredited franchise training courses, and get inspired by real success stories from entrepreneurs. All on one platform: Franchising in Practice.

Mark

A brand is a symbol, name, image or other form of identification that differentiates a company's products or services from those of its competitors. It can be used to create an emotional connection between consumers and a company's products so that they choose them over others. A strong brand can help build brand loyalty and be an important factor in a company's success.

Pilot unit

In a franchise system, the pilot unit is an original business location that is owned and operated by the franchisor company. This serves as a model for the other franchise locations to be opened. The pilot facility can be used to test the business concept, products and services, as well as to develop the processes and systems necessary to provide a consistent experience across the franchise network. It can also be used to coach and train new franchisees and ensure brand quality across the network.

Disclosure Document

The Disclosure Document, also known as the DDI (Disclosure of Information Document), is a legal document that the franchisor company provides to potential franchisees prior to signing the franchise agreement. The document contains important information about the franchise business, including mandatory initial and ongoing costs, rights and responsibilities of franchisees, and details of the franchise system's financial history and performance. In general, the disclosure document is intended to provide prospective franchisees with all the information necessary to make an informed decision about purchasing a franchise and to reduce the risks associated with their investment.
