franchising law

Franchising law governs the relationship between a franchisor (the company offering the franchise) and a franchisee (the individual or business buying the right to operate under the franchise’s system). It ensures transparency through disclosure documents and requires clear agreements outlining rights, responsibilities, fees, and support. Laws also regulate advertising, trademarks, territorial rights, and dispute resolution to protect both parties. Overall, franchising law aims to create fair, honest, and consistent rules to help franchises succeed while preventing deceptive practices.
