If you are considering entering into a franchise agreement, it is important that you obtain professional legal advice on the terms of the agreement, regardless of whether or not your franchisor is prepared to agree to any changes to its terms. It is vital that you understand the terms of an agreement which is, generally speaking, drafted for the benefit and in the best interests of your franchisor.
We regularly review and prepare reports on franchise agreements for prospective franchisees. our Commercial and Corporate Finance team has reviewed a wide variety of franchise agreements from newly formed franchises to established franchise businesses.
We are also able to provide advice and assistance on the most appropriate structure for you to operate your franchise business and can assist in the formation of companies, LLPs and partnerships. If you are entering into a franchise arrangement with other individuals, we can assist with the drafting of any necessary shareholders or partnership agreements.
If you are entering into a franchise agreement through a corporate structure, then it is likely that the franchisor will require the directors, shareholders or members to enter into personal guarantees. We can also provide advice and assistance with such guarantees.
