Understanding Franchise Agreements
Role of Franchise Agreements: A franchise agreement serves as the legal backbone of the franchise relationship. It stipulates the terms under which the franchisor licenses its brand and business model to the franchisee. The agreement includes details on branding, operational requirements, fees, and the legal obligations of each party.
Importance of Well-Structured Agreements: A well-structured franchise agreement not only ensures operational consistency and brand integrity across different locations but also minimizes potential conflicts by clearly defining the expectations and responsibilities of both franchisor and franchisee.
