A franchise code of conduct is a set of guidelines and ethical standards that govern the behavior and practices of franchisees and franchisors within a franchise system.

A well-drafted Franchise Agreement provides clarity and legal protection, reducing risks and ensuring smooth business operations. This document is beneficial when:

  • A business owner is granting rights to a franchisee to operate under their brand.
  • A franchisee is purchasing the rights to use a brand’s intellectual property and business model.
  • Both parties need to establish clear operational and financial expectations.
  • Legal professionals require a standardised agreement for franchise arrangements.
  • There is a need to protect trademarks, trade secrets, and brand reputation.

A Franchise Agreement is a crucial document for defining franchise relationships, ensuring both parties understand their obligations, and reducing the risk of legal disputes. It is particularly valuable for lawyers, franchisors, business owners, and franchise consultants who need a structured and enforceable contract.
