Here you will find an overview of some franchising basics such as the FTC Franchise Rule, information on entity structure best practices, and the various types of franchise offerings you can potentially offer as a franchisor.
The bedrock of all franchise systems are compliant and enforceable franchise agreements. Compliant and enforceable franchise agreements start with an understanding of the rules and regulations that govern franchising.
Franchising done well helps everyone in franchising, and franchising done poorly by cutting corners or walking into the business blindly hurts all of us. We put this field guide together initially only for clients, but realized that it could do a lot of good by sharing the basics with everyone. We hope you enjoy it and if you have any suggestions on how to make it better please email fieldguide@spadealaw.com with your comments.
