Get the free guide01 What does licensing involve?
A licence gives someone permission to use property, such as intellectual property, on agreed terms. The scope of that permission and the obligations around it depend on the agreement.
02 What does franchising involve?
Franchising commonly combines a brand with a business system and obligations between the parties. The arrangement needs to be considered against the Franchising Code.
03 Why does the distinction matter?
Calling an agreement a licence does not settle whether it is a franchise. The way the arrangement operates matters. Get advice on the features and any exceptions that apply to your circumstances.
