Franchises

Franchising offers a route to business which can work both for the franchisor and the franchisee, and here at Berwins we have substantial experience in advising both parties.

 

For the franchisor, the franchise route gives a means of growing a business strongly and rapidly on the basis of a sound and replicable business model, ensuring high standards. 

 
The obligations on the franchisor also need accepting because the franchise model can only work if both sides play their part – in supporting franchisees, and in delivering the franchise concept initiated by the franchisor.  
 
For franchisees – those who take a franchise – the franchise route provides a way into one’s own business, with a well developed brand and business model which removes a lot of the risk associated with a new business start up. 
The opportunities for a successful franchisee are enormous.
 
At Berwins we act for national franchisors, and we can help our business clients be extraordinary businesses by:  
       
  • Creating bespoke franchise agreements which match the business model  
        
  • Advising on the development of the franchise model  
       
  • Handling the grants for new franchises, and the transfer of businesses held by franchisees  
        
  • Advising potential franchisees of the issues in franchise agreements, so that the risks and opportunities are fully understood  
        
  • Act for franchisors in addressing any issues which franchisees have  
        
  • Addressing all the other business issues which are associated with any business, and no less with franchise business: debt recovery, trade mark protection, passing off, property issues and all other aspects of business.
