Reading The Fine Print
When you’re starting a franchise, your disclosure documents are highly important. They lay out all the terms that you agree to when you become a franchisee. However, these disclosures can put you in a disadvantageous situation, and you may want to get experienced help parsing what exactly is in the agreement.
At Zarco Einhorn Salkowski, P.A., we are skilled lawyers with extensive experience in franchise law. In fact, attorney Robert Zarco earned the nickname “the Franchise King” because of his successful work representing franchisees in disputes with franchisors. We can assist you in reviewing the disclosure document and ensure you are set for success with your business.
What To Look Out For In A Disclosure Document?
The franchisor provides the franchise disclosure document to you when you show interest in their franchise. It outlines many terms and considerations. These documents include:
- Franchise fee structure
- Franchisee obligations
- Territory
- Restrictions on the franchisee
- Dispute resolution
- Financial performance representation
Overall, there are 23 items in a franchise disclosure document that you must closely review. We can help you with this by translating the often-dense legal language of the document in plain, easy to understand terms.
