Multiple Domain Name and Duplicate Content..

Hi all Gurus!

I have an issue to discuss for a client of mine..

Case -
Client is abcdef.com and is into online tuition and coaching.. And provides franchising for x amount and then the franchise gets the study package and other details thru ERP along with a website option for a local franchise to just put some details like About Us and Contact us page and also suggest a domain name which abcdef will buy and then upload a template based themed design CMS site on that domain where apart from About us and Contact us content everything remains same as the main group website.. Which includes, Methodology, Courses, Learning Center, tips and Tricks, etc.. There are almost 900+sites like this and is growing @ 25-30/month..

So my questions are:

1: does this affects SEO because of duplicated content? Or there is an option to tell Google that its a part of group website and content is taken from here..

2: should we switch to /folder or .domain name structure instead of different domain name for all franchise?

3: How to do Social Media (fb) for franchise, what is the right approach, individual pages of all franchise or one company page only?

4: is there any other way or suggestion?

Appreciate your efforts..

Thanks,
SMR..
