The website is a new online resource tool for both UK and international franchisors.  It provides access to a wealth of knowledge in an easy-to-use interactive format.

As the largest franchise practice outside of the USA, we are committed to promoting a fuller understanding of franchising around the globe. We have therefore designed the website to provide easily accessible information and advice in plain English, including, the Franchise Dictionary which explains a number of key franchise terms and the Franchise FAQs, which provide answers to a number of commonly asked franchise related questions.

We also understand the importance of providing sector specific advice, therefore we have presented an array of information relating to our knowledge and experience in four core franchise sectors: food & beverage; hotels & leisure; retail; and services providers.

To provide users with a more interactive experience, a multi-level questionnaire has been developed.  The aim of the questionnaire is to guide users through the issues surrounding franchising and enable users to determine which franchise structure best suits their business - be this for expansion in the UK, Europe and other territories worldwide.

Further, we have created a European disclosure table setting out the disclosure obligations in a number of European countries to help international franchisors plan and strategise their expansion.

Details of our unique seminar and training programme are included on the website.

Users are able to access and view alerts, articles and newsletters prepared by members of the franchise team, as well as leading industry publications by Mark Abell and Dr Martin Mendelsohn.
