THE ENGAGEMENT
Legal and business strategy to launch your franchise or licensed business.
We scope the engagement around your business model, launch timetable, and intended markets, with the FDD and franchise agreement at its center.
01
Franchise structure and terms
Define the rights, fees, territory approach, support obligations, and operating standards the offering will reflect.
02
Franchise Disclosure Document
Prepare the FDD and coordinate the business information, financial materials, and exhibits it requires.
03
Franchise agreement and exhibits
Document the relationship, brand rights, responsibilities, renewal, transfer, and exit terms.
04
Registration and disclosure plan
Identify the state registrations or filings and disclosure procedures needed for the intended launch markets.
05
Brand and operating materials
Review the legal fit between trademark rights, the operations manual, system standards, and franchise commitments.
06
Launch and continuing obligations
Establish a practical plan for delivering disclosures, signing agreements, maintaining records, and updating the offering.
SCOPE & PRICING
A scope built around your system.
A first franchise offering, a new concept within an existing group, and a system entering additional states require different work. We confirm the documents, filing support, coordination with other advisers, and fees before the engagement begins. Accounting work, government fees, and specialist support are identified separately where needed.
