Overview

A Franchise Agreement is a legally binding contract where a brand owner (Franchisor) grants an individual or entity (Franchisee) the right to operate a business using the Franchisor’s brand name, trademark, and business system. It is a complex document that balances the Franchisor’s need for brand control with the Franchisee’s need for operational support.
