A quick definition of franchise tax:

Franchise tax: A tax that businesses or corporations have to pay to the state for the right to exist and do business in that state. It is not the same as income tax and must be paid even if the business doesn't make a profit. The amount of tax varies depending on the state and can be a flat fee or a percentage of the business's net worth. Some states only use the tax on small businesses while others use it on large corporations as well. If a business operates in multiple states, it may have to pay more than one franchise tax.

A more thorough explanation:

The franchise tax is a type of tax that states impose on businesses or corporations that are chartered within that state. This tax is charged for the right of the business or corporation to exist as a legal entity and to do business within a particular state.

For example, if a business is registered in the state of Delaware, it must pay a franchise tax to the state for the privilege of doing business there. The amount of the tax can vary depending on the state and the size of the business.

The franchise tax is not the same as income tax, which is based on the profits of the business. Instead, it is typically a flat fee or based on the net worth of the business. This means that even if a business does not make a profit, it still must pay the franchise tax.

Some states only use the tax on small businesses, while others use it on large corporations as well. If a business operates in multiple states, it may be subject to more than one franchise tax.

For example, in Delaware, the minimum franchise tax is $175.00 and the maximum is $250,000.00. In New York, the franchise tax ranges from $25.00 to $200,000.00.

Overall, the franchise tax is a way for states to generate revenue from businesses that operate within their borders. It is a cost of doing business in a particular state and must be paid by all businesses that are registered or operate within that state.
