I deem the above decision to be ethical and logical due to a number of reasons. Firstly, once the franchise company is opened in a foreign country, my company will be in a good position to acquire some income.

Additionally, the foreign buyer will certainly concur with the option offered in preference to buying the company while still benefit from future activities of the company franchisee company.
