Franchising guide

As part of our franchising and licensing practice we work with businesses to assess whether their concept is suitable for franchising. For some businesses franchising is not a suitable vehicle and therefore in addition to advising upon franchising we advise companies on alternative routes to market for their products and services. This includes advising on and drafting licensing, agency, distribution, supply and joint venture agreements. By working closely with our clients and their in house teams we help them to develop their terms and conditions of business which form part of their route to market strategy.

  • To guide you through the complexities of domestic and international franchising we have devised a simple set of questions to help us and you better understand your needs and requirements.
  • Like all business sectors, franchising has its own jargon and terminology. To simplify the jargon, we have created a Franchise Dictionary to define some common franchise terms.
  • We have also included a set of Frequently Asked Questions to provide some further information and guidance to key franchise issues which need to be considered.
