Franchise Law

If you are considering purchasing or selling a franchise, you should consult with an experienced attorney who knows this area of law. Prior to signing any franchise agreements or area developer agreements, the UFOC should be reviewed by your attorney. Additionally, before a commitment is made you should ask yourself a wide range of questions such as:

1. Will a corporation or other entity be purchasing the franchise?
2. Do you have an exit strategy and what rights, if any, do you have to sell or assign the franchise rights to others?
3. What are your employment obligations?
4. Where will the franchise be located, and has the lease been reviewed by a trusted advisor?
5. Should you apply for a Small Business Administration loan, or other financing?
6. Do you have an accountant, payroll specialist, banker and attorney on your team?
