A franchise agreement reads like a simple licence to run a proven business model. In practice, it sets out fees, territory, obligations and exit terms that will govern the relationship for years - and once you've signed, there's very little room to renegotiate.
We review franchise agreements and disclosure documents for both sides of the table: franchisors setting the terms, and franchisees weighing them up. Whichever side you're on, we explain the clauses that matter in plain language and flag the ones that don't favour you before you're committed to them.
