Question 6.

NO
You should consider adopting a Multiple Unit Franchise Structure

A Multiple Unit Franchise Structure allows you to grant a third party (a Multiple Unit Franchisee) the right to operate more than one Outlet of your franchised business and/or provide your services in more than one region (a Multiple Unit Franchise).  We can advise you further regarding this structure if necessary.

Multiple Unit Franchise Structure

To document the above structure, you will need to enter into a Unit Franchise Agreement with the Unit Franchisee in respect of each Outlet that the Multiple Unit Franchisee opens. We can assist you with drafting the Unit Franchise Agreement and other relevant agreements as well as advising you on the legal and commercial issues that you will need to consider.
