A quick definition of corporate franchise:

A corporate franchise is a permission given by the government to a company to operate a specific business or exercise certain powers. It is like a special key that allows a company to do something that others cannot. For example, a public utility company may have a franchise to use certain property for a public purpose but for private profit. A franchise can also refer to the right given by a trademark owner to a person or entity to sell goods or services in a certain area. It is like a special permission to use a brand name.

A more thorough explanation:

A corporate franchise is a type of franchise that is granted by the government to a corporation, giving them the right to engage in a specific business or exercise corporate powers. It is also known as a general franchise.

For example, a government may grant a franchise to a public utility company, allowing them to use public property for private profit. Another example is a commercial franchise, where a corporation contracts with third parties to operate a facility that offers a particular brand of goods or services.

Overall, a corporate franchise is a legal agreement that allows a corporation to operate a business in a specific area or industry, with certain rights and responsibilities.
