A franchise is a business model where an individual (the franchisee) purchases the right to use a company’s name, products, services, business model and systems. In return, the franchisee must follow the franchisor’s rules and guidelines, pay royalties, and meet certain performance standards.
Franchising is an excellent way to grow your business and brand without hiring new employees or paying for expensive marketing campaigns. It can take you from being a solo operator with limited reach to becoming a national, or even global company with unlimited potential.
However, it is crucial for the franchisee to understand their role in representing your brand. If you establish a clear agreement, you can accelerate the growth of your business. But if the agreement is flawed, disputes and legal issues will arise, potentially damaging your reputation.
We work on your behalf to ensure that franchisee agreements are clear, and that anyone who breaches their contract is reminded of their legal obligations. Our role is to help your business to grow, but in a safe and legally compliant way.
