Program Description:
The number of people buying franchises hasn't slowed in the slow economy. Instead, as clients leave their professions, jobs and other businesses, they often seek a “pre-form” or “ready-made” business in franchise opportunities. There's a certain deep logic to the growth in franchising that is unlikely to abate. This presents practitioners with the challenge of reviewing and negotiating complex franchise agreements that seem to be written exclusively in boilerplate, appear non-negotiable, involve complicated financial arrangements, and involve a host of unfamiliar federal and state laws. This program will demystify franchising and its operative agreements, providing you with practical guidance for understanding the financial and substantive legal arrangements involved, tips for negotiating with franchisors and for spotting red flags before your clients buy.
- Overview of the law governing franchising
- How to evaluate the overall rewards and risks of franchises your clients are considering
- Most important provisions of franchise agreements
- Determining what's negotiable and what's not
- Understanding the complex economic arrangements
- Spotting franchise red flags and traps
