Franchising is an often complex area of law. It is not a business itself, but a way of doing business which, in Australia, is a rapidly growing part of the small business sector.
Whether you are looking to franchise your business or to purchase an existing franchise, there are many questions you will need answering such as:
- What is a franchise agreement?
- Are there any laws to regulate franchising, and if so, what are they?
- Can I franchise an idea?
- Do I need a licence to become a franchisee?
- Do I need a licence to be a franchisor?
- What happens if I have a dispute with the franchisor/franchisee?
