Again in your meeting we will go through the main clauses and explain what they really mean, giving you real life examples.
At the end of our meeting you'll have a better understanding of franchising, the business you're considering, the risks involved in buying the business and what you can do to protect yourself against those risks.
What's included:
- a 90 - 120 minute meeting via Zoom, Teams or in person to discuss your goals and your questions,
- a detailed and thorough review of the franchise agreement,
- discussion of the clauses that we recommend that you get the franchisor to change,
