Francais/Agent/Stokis

1. Biar saya cuba jawab. To business experts here, please correct any parts that i was wrong below:-
   
   1. Franchise
   - under a special act called Franchise Act 1998
   - involves franchisor-franchisee
   - must register with ROF (Registrar of Franchise)
   - business/services must at least 3 years old.
   
   2. Business Licence (yg ni u tak mention)
   - involves 2 parties... product/service owner (licensor) and license holder (licensee)
   - tiada akta khas tertentu di malaysia - just ordinary company (sole prop/sdn bhd/bhd) & related acts - refer to SSM.
   - Agreement between licensor & licensee is just between them with or without lawyers.
   - Di Singapore, Franchise & Licencing digabungkan dalam satu association

   - Di Malaysia, bab licensing ni tiada pemantauan khusus dari govt (as far as i know). Only Franchise Association yg deal with franchise.

   3. Agent
   - applicable to all businesses - conventional or MLM. Tapi franchise biasanya tidak menggunakan perkataan agent.
   - Usually tak ada gaji tetap (kalau ada pun sedikit shj). Income from commision.
   - Online agent that use website referral links to make money online dipanggil Affiliate marketeer.
   - Hence Affiliate Marketeer is actualy an (online only) agent.
   
   4. Stokis
   - applicable to all business. MLM or conventional
   - Tapi lebih kepada MLM business esp produk kecantikan & produk kesihatan
   - kalau produk conventional, mereka biasa dipanggil Wholesaler, Distributor, Supplier (Pemborong, Pengedar, Pembekal)
   - Dalam forum ni 'stokis' digunakan dgn meluas for ecosway MLM stokist.
   
   Pasal pembahagian keuntungan tu u yg tentukan sendiri. Bagi produk MLM, markup selalunya mencapai hingga 300-400% sebab nak bayar upliner & the system.
   
   Dalam food/restoren, markup biasanya 100%.. so nasi sepinggan berharga RM5 kos dia dlm RM2.50
   
   Dalam Franchise agak komplex sikit. Percentage pembahagian kos/untung dia amat komplex. Ada part advertisement, part licence, part signage, part itu part ini
   
   Just my thought based on experience. To business expert. please correct me..
