This system has some attractive for new investors: higher chances of success, the structure of supply process, support and training. These are some of the benefits perceived by entrepreneurs who opt for open a franchised unit. This study aims to propose a methodology for structuring franchising networks, ensuring the maintenance of standards and operational processes and creating more possibilities of success for the business. At first a literature review of the franchising system and its evolution in the market was done. Then, was realized a case of study in a consulting firm to define different steps required to the creation of a franchiser network. These steps are described in detail in order to guide those who aims to expand their business through franchising. As a result, it was verified that it is possible using a standard methodology as a source of guidance, the development of networks, based on the franchise segment in order to ensure the implementation of all actions essential to the proper functioning of the business in the futureAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/FranchisingFranqueadoraFranquiasFormataçãoSetor Alimentícioarticle
