The Franchise Agreement

The Franchise Agreement, which is part of the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), defines the relationship between you (the franchisor) and each franchisee. This document protects your image and reputation. It helps ensure a uniform and consistent operation from one franchisee to the next. It helps protect an individual franchisee from adverse actions by another franchisee. By necessity, this document is very extensive and the tone of the Franchise Agreement is one-sided -- in your favor.

Signature Franchising will draft and submit to your attorney for review and approval, a Franchise Agreement defining the contractual relationship between the franchisor and the franchisee. This Agreement will be developed in conjunction with input received from Signature Franchising Program Analysis and recommendations, and will be based on current industry practice and recent developments in franchise law.

Since the Franchise Agreement is usually in effect for a minimum of five to ten years, it is extremely important to cover potential problems that could arise in a franchise relationship. It must reflect the latest state-of-the-art developments of the franchise industry; it must be flexible and capable of accommodating future business changes; and it must be marketable. Signature Franchising will prepare the Franchise Agreement which will become a section of the FDD.
