What is a franchise? Buying a franchise often involves buying into an existing business chain with special rules regarding the purchase of stock, shop fixtures and fittings, and marketing. For this infrastructure you usually pay an initial entry cost and ongoing franchise fees.
When handed documentation for a franchising purchase for your signature, it is important to seek legal advice first so negotiations can proceed in your best interests. In particular, we can advise you on the following: |
|
u |
The reputation of the franchise
|
|
u |

|
|
u |

|
|

|
|
u |
What you must invest
|
|
u |
Terms and conditions of the franchise documents
|
|
u |
