Also, another option, FRANCHISEE:

"For example, following the success of a Mobile location, that particular ***franchisee*** could also operate a location in Baldwin County, or in Pensacola."
"franchised businessman" is also used, to a very much lesser extent, e.g.:

McDonald's Corporation is an American fast food company, founded in 1940 as a restaurant ... The present corporation credits its founding to ***franchised businessman*** Ray Kroc on April 15, 1955. This was in fact the ninth opened McDonald's ..

I possibly should have said "(as a) businessman who OWNED AND ran a franchise", although funds for franchises may come from family, friends, banks and/or investors -- ownership models can be complex.
In this context, with no further context, "franchised businessman" is perhaps the safe bet.

franchise entrepreneur
I think a literal translation works best. It's concise, and entrepreneur is more positive than businessman or franchisee - it has connotations of risk taking and success.

: running a franchise is relatively limited as far as "risk taking" in concerned - the franchisee is in effect piggybacking on s.o. else's already proven business idea. In this case "entrepreneur" is more hype than substance ...

Whether you think it's hype or not, it's what the French says.

appointed business officer
The business officer might belong to a contractor which is another firm that supplies materials or labour. A franchise is a vote with a company's authority to sell off its goods, thus if the officer is franchised I expect that he's been appointed or elected as a holder of the authority to divide company shares or sell off goods and products. 'His professional experiences as a co-ordinator, recruitment expert and franchised contractor, allowed him to develop his expertise while exploring other industries.'
Example sentence:
FR: 'L'agent d'affaires pourrait appartenir à un contracteur, qui est une autre entreprise qui fournit des matériales, du travail ou du labeur. Une franchise, c'est un vote avec l'autorité d'une entreprise de vendre ses biens et ses produits.
Donc, si l'agent est franchisé, je crois qu'il a été nommé et désigné comme le titulaire avec l'autorité de diviser et de vendre des parties, des biens et des produits de l'entreprise.'
Peer comment(s):
| disagree |
Daryo
: can't figure out by which tortuous way you got to this, but neither "appointed" nor "business officer" makes any sense - a franchisee is supposed to be "independent", not any kind of "company officer" that would be "appointed" by their employer.

: I fail to see where you get this from; what about "franchise"? "A franchise is a vote with a company's authority to sell off its goods" - total nonsense; authority to divide company shares.." - total nonsense

franchisee operator
- cuts out any negative overtones of an entrepreneur. We at our London translation office - albeit over 40 years ago - had been warned by our ex-city lawyer Chairman that it was a 'dirty' word.
The only probem with the term of 'franchised' is that it is ambiguous in Brit. Comm. countries - post- McDonalds Dynorod - for someone entitled to vote.

Example sentence:
While there is still significant debate as to the similarities and/ or differences between individual franchisees and more traditional entrepreneurs .., service franchisee operators are typically considered to be 'entrepreneurs'
