Franchise agreement review checklist
A franchise agreement governs a long commercial relationship. A specialist solicitor should review it before you sign.
Areas to flag
- Term, renewal rights and renewal costs.
- Territory, exclusivity and online sales.
- Performance obligations and default provisions.
- Fees, price changes and compulsory suppliers.
- Training, support and marketing commitments.
- Transfer, sale, death or incapacity.
- Termination consequences and post-term restrictions.
- Personal guarantees and liability.
This checklist helps you prepare questions; it is not legal advice and cannot replace review by a suitably experienced solicitor.
