What is a Franchise Agreement?
A Franchise Agreement is a legal contract between a franchisor (brand owner) and a franchisee (business operator) that governs the terms under which the franchisee may use the brand’s intellectual property, systems, and business model. It outlines key financial, operational and legal obligations to safeguard the interests of both parties.
